I think that it is important to check it out.. even if it's nothing.

I had a scan when I had the dark red clots come out, my GP told me I had miscarried, I told him I hadn't, that I *knew* I hadn't. So he sent me for a scan to confirm it at 5w6d...there was a little HB

Still for 4 weeks was bleeding on and off, my GP said no point in doing scan till 12 weeks, that the medical profession doesn't see it as serious till then. Maybe if I'd been trying for ages they would be following it up, but not in my case (I was told i was infertile so this baby was an unplanned surprise albeit I had not gotten pregnant for a long time anyway). So I sat there for 4 weeks feeling rotten, stressed, crying, and extremely depressed and scared, I hated going to the toilet and seeing more blood. Eventually, through my depression I was able to drag myself off the lounge and ring another GP. By this time I had totally lost the morning sickness and sore bbs. When I saw him he said to me 'how have you gone this long without getting a scan, it must have been an nightmare worrying' I cried, I didn't realize that any doctor was different to my last one, that they did see the point in getting a scan prior to 12 weeks. He sent me for an urgent scan and for beta HCG tests, the works. HE even rang and made the appointment so they would know it's important and fit me in asap. I got this scan done on Monday.

The baby was fine, growth was even 2 days ahead than the previous scan, HB was 180. I honestly thinK i would have lost it in my head waiting any longer.

So now I know for the future, I will DEMAND a scan if I have something like that happen again. It was not good for me or the baby worrying like that.

Go and get it checked, you need to know.
