PAL - Tmi sorry!

[Mrs Munchkin]

Hey guys,

I suffered a mc and mmc last year, and recently found i am pregnant again. I am currently 6+5.
I saw my doctor Wednesday who booked me to see mw next Thursday so she can keep an eye on me, however this evening I went to the loo and saw a bit of blood in my discharge. (sorry!)

I have called my EPU because i am a bit of a state now, to other people Im sure they will think im mental and overreacting however im sure PAL people will understand.

I have been told to rest this weekend and have a scan monday morning, so hopefully we will see what is what.

I really hope everything is okay, I really don't have the strength to go through another loss...

We decided not to try until Oct 2012, have a year to ourselves and because I hadnt been dealing with things very well recently we thought it would give me time to feel better before trying again. However I have been working away recently which gave both me and my husband a lot of thinking time, and my first weekend back I told him I thought I was ready to try again. we did the babydance twice that month, and here I am 6+5... So we didn't activly try, didnt work out dates, every 3 days etc, just perfect timing which made me think this was my forever baby... keeping everything crossed.

Well, I have read somewhere a good percentage of perfectly healthy pregnancies have some spotting. But I totally know that is not much comfort for us with MC history! Your reaction is totally normal, and it sounds like you are doing everything you can. No such thing as TMI on baby and bump! has the discharge continued and got heavier? I have my fingers crossed for your forever baby.

Hello my lovely, try not to worry, I had a previous MMC and it took us pretty much a yr to concieve after that. When I fell pregnant the second time I had some spotting around implant which I presumed was the start of my period..it never came! I then had some heavy ish red blood in my pants at around 5 1/2 weeks- 6 weeks. I panicked because my previous loss had been pretty traumatic with an emergency trip to A&E and being kept in over night because of heavy blood loss, when I saw the blood this time round I immediately feared that would happen again...and DH was away on a stag do and we hadnt told anyone I was pregnant!! When I got to A&E they pretty much dismissed me, the doctor told me I'd probably miscarried again because of my previous loss and it was only when I began sobbing and they realised I was on my own that they sent me down to the EPU and wanted to admit me overnight. I had a horrible internal with a Dr who was quite rough and I thought I must have miscarried or they wouldnt have done the internal and been so rough with me. I dicharged myself that night feeling pretty low believing I'd miscarried again. However, we went back to the EPU the following Tuesday for a scan to 'check it was all gone' only to find a very small but very definite bean with a flickering heart beat!! I continued to spot throughout my early pregnancy, I think it probably stopped around 12 weeks ish. I had an odd bit of brown discharge at 15 weeks where they sent me for another scan but all was well. We paid for a private scan at 10 weeks to check on bean's progress and the sonographer explained that when the baby implants it bruises your uterus and that bruise can sometimes bleed. Sometimes that blood escapes your body or sometimes it is just reabsorbed into your body and that is why some women spot. So...I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't give up hope. Remain positive and believe you will carry this pregnancy through to baby in your arms at the end. I really hope everything is fine for you, I'm sure it will be. Trust your body, I think you'll know if there's really something wrong xxx
