Thank you Wrangalove and Jaycee. It's very comforting to "speak" to people who have been through this too. I don't think I know anyone IRL that has had a miscarriage - though truthfully, I probably do and it's just that nobody talks about it.
I have little period pain normally, and periods have been lighter than usual over the last year or so. I had initially expected it to be like AF but as the weeks go by, I worry that it will be more serious than that. I guess only time will tell.
Thank you again. I can't tell you how good it feels to connect about this. I didn't realise I was feeling so alone.
Hugs Lee - I only recently miscarried. I found out at a scan at 10weeks and 3 days that bubs heart had stopped. That was on the Saturday. On the Sunday I started to lose the cervical plug and had a small bleed. I spotted on the monday, no pain and the same on Tuesday, Early hours of Wed morning, contractions started, every few mins, by 9am wed morning, I was losing a great deal of blood, so went to hospital, by the time I got there I was hemorrhaging. I wanted to miscarry naturally, as i have a higher risk of injury from D & C's, so they kept me in on a drip and prepped ready for surgery if urgent. I still had constant contractions. I passed the baby at 7.30am on the Thurs morning, still in the sac, it was larger than I expected. The bleeding then slowed to a manageable level. I am still spotting now an I passed the baby two weeks ago.
I hope all goes well, thinking of you.
