Hello

I thought I'd share my own lil story. Umm..With pregnancy number 1 i had absolutely no problems what so ever. I had a normal delivery with a very healthy baby girl pregnancy number 2 which was with my current bf unfortunately was much different. We tried for 5 months. when i found out i ws pregnant we were overjoyed. I thought it would be the same as last time i thought id sail through it but i started bleeding at 11 weeks. because it was 4am I phoned an on call doctor who told me it was probably because i'd had intercourse the night before but i should still go for a u/s. we went first thing in the morning, clinging onto a tiny bit of hope only to find out that our baby died at 5 weeks. the sac was normal sized but was jagged on one side. I tried to wait it out but lasted only 2 days before i ws admitted to hospital. i had a D&C the day after. we tried again and i got pregnant the third month after the mc. we went for a scan when i thought i was 7 weeks but was told the sac was empty the lady told us not to worry too much because it ws probably too early to see anything anyway and to come back in a week. i went back 2 weeks later to find out i was only 7 weeks (5 weeks at first scan obvs) and the sac was still empty. we were devastated. she told us to go back in 5-7 days or whenever i felt ready. we asked if there was a chance our baby was there..she told us she won't say no because they can't be sure just yet but we had to understand that there was a small chance of there being a baby there the next time. that was the 13th march. i decided to wait 2 weeks, trying to get ready for this m/c but holding onto that small chance something could be there. unfortunately i started bleeding 2 nights ago. it was brown mucousy stuff at first and stopped after a few hours but the day after it was red, not flowing but there when i wiped. it stopped again last night but started again this morning. i'm so confused, last time it started almost straight away, was heavy, unbearbably painful and never stopped. I can't go to a doctor or BEP clinic because of good friday and the bank holiday and i was told to go to A&E if it got too bad but right now there is no pain and only light on and off bleeding so i'm going to wait until tuesday. I'm as prepared as I can be in case I am miscarrying and people may think i'm silly for holding on to a shred of hope when everything is against me (empty sac especially) but for me it's worth it. all of the stories here both happy and sad are inspiring reads and i'm so glad so many women go on to have healthy babies. Your stories reinforce my hope. To the ladies who go on to miscarry, i'm so sorry for your loss be strong and may your future babies be perfect. Thanks for sharing your experiences

Good on you for holding onto hope. I believe every pregnancy m/c or not is different. I have had bleeding and no bleeding with m/c's, so you can never 2nd guess your body. GL.
