Hi everyone. I wanted to share my story and see if others have experienced the same and what your outcomes were. Im pregnant with my third child.
I started spotting a week ago and the doctor said this can be quite normal. I was literally sitting in the pathology centre waiting to have my blood test when i felt gushing, i went to the bathroom and lost a lot of bright red blood and clots, it was extremely traumatising. I assumed that i was losing the baby as i had lost so much blood i din't think it was possible for everything to be okay. I went to the doctor and he sent me for a scan straight a way. I didn't even look at the screen as i was so upset, but in the corner of my eye i saw a flashing yellow and red on the screen and then the lady said "Theres your baby", i could't believe it! She said there was bleeding from around the sack and that i have to rest. After that i went back to have my blood test, and haven't been able to see my doctor yet due to the christmas break, but have an appointment for wednesday. Iv still been bleeding, but its dark and pasty. I haven't been cramping, but have had backpain. Has anyone else experienced this? And is there any known cause for this to happen? Also my scan revealed that i was only 8 weeks, when i know my dates exactly and know that i am 10 weeks. I feel quite alone in this and nervous that im going to lose my baby.
