Hi girls I just had my first miscarriage on my first pregnancy and it was really scary. I was almost 8 weeks when i started spotting on the thursday was only one spot so made appt with dr for next day. Straight after i saw my dr i started bleeding heavier and was stressing to the max. The dr told me to go home and lay down. As soon as i got home i went to the loo and it got a little heavier and darker in colour. I hope not TMI so i went straight into hospital (lucky i had my mother down) they took some blood and booked me in for ultra sound next day. The worst started at ultra sound ... they couldnt find a heartbeat and the sack was too small for how long i was pregnant. Therefore i was having a miscarriage thus the Dr saying i had 2 options. 1. was to go home and let it come out naturally which i would be in pain and bleeding heavily or get the Dr on call to do a curette and take it out that night hopefully. i had a quick chat to hubby about it and decided i didnt wanna go thru the pain and got it done 8pm saturday night. I woke up to feel fine except for a light period pain nothing a couple of panadol didnt fix but had numb lips. The worst part though was they had me in the kids ward so there were babies in the next ward which made me worse. But having a really nice and understanding nurse was good i know it is her job to make u feel better but she made me laugh. I eventually left hospital after being there pretty much all weekend (on my weekend off) at 12.30am. I didnt sleep that well but did get some sleep. My Dr(Ob) reminded me that it wasnt my fault but i cant help thinking that if i hadnt have done this or not done that if results had been different. I cant stop thinking things but know it wasnt anything we did or not do. Nurse told me that since they dilated my uterus in the process that when i get pregnant again that labour wont be as bad as it wont take as long to dilate as i have already done it. So thats a good point. I am feeling fine and have had no bleeding since being home but too scared not to wear a pad. Dr said i would be bleeding for 2 to 3 weeks . But nurse said i would lightly bleed for a few days then get my period in 4 to 6 weeks time???? Confused !!! I am feeling fine no pain.
