I had a miscarriage about a year and a half ago at 5.5 weeks, I had spotting but what I really noticed was I just didn't 'feel' pregnant anymore.
I'm pregnant again now, baby due in 4 weeks!. I had bleeding at exactly the same time as the miscarriage so I was really worried, but I 'felt' pregnant so that was the slight thing that was reasurring me.
Some women can have bleeding throughout, mine stopped after a few days, but I have had cramps throughout, but baby seems happy and healthy.
Thank you everyone, scan on monday is all booked so I guess I will know then for sure.
I certainly still feel pregnant judging by the way i keep modding off and the churny feeling in my stomach... so hopefully that's a good sign.
I was also thinking, maybe my hcg levels didnt double because i didn't have the blood taken 48 hours apart - was 5.00pm for the first test, and 11am for the second test..but then maybe i am just clutching at straws there.
Sigh. must try to relax!
Thanks again for sharing your stories and for your kind words
I thought I'd pop in with an update since you were all kind enough to give me your time when I was concerned.
The doctor confirmed today that my pregnancy is ectopic. The ultrasound showed the baby with a strong heartbeat and dating perfectly, just in the wrong spot.
They have confirmed that all of one tube will be removed, and quite likely also the other one. In this case, it will be IVF as our only option.
Ladies - most bleeding is harmless, but if you feel anything is wrong please go to the doctor straight away! If I'd waited a few more days even the effects would have been devastating for me and bubs.
Dear Jelly
I am so, so sorry to hear the outcome was not happier. Wishing you all the luck in the world in getting though this and in moving onto the IVF journey which I'm sure will bring you a much wanted bub. Will be thinking of you.
