PLEASE HELP: Bleeding at 6 wks

[bubbaloo]

I apologise in advance for TMI and disjointed thoughts. I'm typing this in a hurry.

Yesterday I had some light pink spotting. Went to OB who did a scan and saw gestational sac, but not much else. He said that I appeared to be at about 5.5 weeks and to come back in in about 10 days for a another scan, or earlier if the bleeding worsened.

3am this morning (my time... to about 3.5 hours ago) I woke and went to the toilet and had bright red when I wiped.

Just now when I got up I had period like bleeding... plenty of red with some clots, and some mild period pain (I've had much worse during normal periods).

MY QUESTION.... Is this definitely all over? Should I be rushing to the hospital to try and do something or is there no point? Should I just wait until the OB office opens (in 2 hours time) and call there?

Please help. I'm sad and scared and just can't think. Have to rush off to BF my toddler. Back soon.

THANKS

You poor thing, bleeding during pregnancy is so scary. No, it doesn't mean it's all over. A lot of women experience bleeding and go on to have healthy bubs. My sister bled many times while pg with her DD and she was perfectly fine.

Are you experiencing any pain/cramping? If I were you I'd speak to your OB first, hopefully he can get you in for another scan today and do a BT. If you go to hospital you may be waiting a long time before you are seen and will most likely be told there isn't much they can do. But if you experience severe bleeding/pain/cramping then do take yourself to the hospital.

I'm praying all is OK with your little bub.

Thanks Trish for the ray of hope.

There is some mild cramping I guess.. like mild period pain. I'm not doubled over in pain or anything like that. But there is quite a bit of blood. Just like I got my period really.

Like everyone else who this happens to, I just can't believe it's happening to me. So scared and sad.

I completely understand the fear and sadness. I really hope everything works out well for you.

I would head into the hospital anyway. U need some reasurance... otherwise its going to be a very looooooooooooooooooooong day. Head in and let them know your bleeding and cramping and i assume they will run some tests on u. Stay positive, bleeding in early pregnancy is quite common. xox

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.

Thanks
