Honey Im sorry to hear that but i had the same thing and despite everything and how "normal" bleeding is, clotting & pain is not good. I would be asking for a scan straght away. I saw a heart beat at 6w with mine with bleeding but 2 days later had clotting and pain and was confirmed only by scan that it was over.
Not being negative but got to be realistic here and go get it looked at now. Today.
We're here for you regardless of what happens and I hope that you're one of those "freaks of nature" that bleeds and clots but has a normal pregnancy
Thanks Hollye and thanks Eliza. I hope I'm one of those freaks too!
Just getting myself and my son ready, and we'll head up to the hospital. My OB office is in the office building, so I'll try and sneak an appointment in there first up, but if that doesn't work, I'll go to A&E.
Is there likely that there will be anything that they can do? Or will it just be a case of confirming whether or not bub is holding on thus far?
And if I am miscarrying, how much blood should I expect to pass? Am I likely to see anything of the baby at this stage? Sorry if that thought is TMI. Just want to be prepared.
AT this stage, if you are misscarrying, there isnt much they can do. They will prob run a blood test to check on your levels and give you and scan to see whats going on. See even tho u aare bleeding, doesnt necesarily mean its coming from bub. People i have spoken to that have had misscarriges have said they have sorta passed a clot (size depending on what stage they are at). At 6 weeks your bubs isnt much bigger than a grain of rice. So with the sac and everything, i think you would expect to see something to size of a 5c peice?? someone correct me if im wrong.
let me know what happens xoxoxo good luck!!!!!!!!!!! hang in there bubba!!!!!!!!!!!
I didnt bleed as much as I anticipated but enough to need to change my pad every couple of hours and the pains were just mild being so early. The real pains came when i was induced to pass it.
Sorry if i came across as harsh I just wish someone told me how it was when it happened to me, even though I loved the support I needed it in black & white.
Thanks Hollye and Eliza. Blunt is good... I'm trying to remain a little hopeful, but really am expecting the worst, and the more I know of what to expect the better.
Eliza - You mention that you were induced as well. I didn't realise that that was a possibility at such an early stage. Was that to help speed it all up? Sorry if these are sensitive questions for you. I really hope you get another BFP soon, and a good sticky pg to go with it.
Hang in there Bubbaloo. I am a freak of nature! I was passing clots and LOTS of bright blood for a few days and that happened on three different occasions... but this little bubba was so determined to stick. I was convinced it was all over each time, but all is fine.
I had a scan at 6w5d and all they could see was a sac, nothing else. And I had 4 hcg tests done, one every 48 hrs. And the levels didnt double like they were supposed to.... but still... bub is fine.
Sorry didnt mean to go on about me, me, me. Just trying to show you there is some hope. xx
Just wanted to update you all, and thank you again for your support.
I just got back from the OB. Given the situation, they agreed to squeeze me in. While I was waiting I went in to the toilets.... and there was more blood and and I passed some tissue. All over. I came back out crying and the receptionists said the doc would do a scan anyway, which she did. She said that from comparing to yesterday's scan, that she could see that it was moving down/out, warned me that there will be more bleeding, but probably not too bad, and probably cramping. She said if it got too unbearable to go back in, but other wise to go back in next week to check whether I need a D&C (which she thinks I probably won't).
Now I have to face this new reality and figure out where to from here. Hopefully we'll be able to TTC again in the next few months. It just scares me that it took nearly 2 years to conceive DS, and I feel time ticking away. I'm also regretting telling our immediate families so early, cause I really don't want to talk to them about this right now.
But I'm just so grateful for my DS. He is such a blessing. I look at him and know that I can't fall apart over this. Well I'm trying not to.
Anyway, thanks again to all of you lovely ladies. I hope we all end up with the families we dream of.
