Hi all

Well my weekend wasn't how I'd planned it.  Went to the loo on Friday night  and had loads of brown coloured discharge - I was in disbelief and didn't know what to do.  Up until now I've had no spotting whatsoever and this was more than spotting.  Decided I couldn't really do anything and went to bed but had a hideous night, I literally slept for 2 hours.  In the morning I was still bleeding so called the midwife even though I hadn't actually been booked in with her.  She was lovely but said that because I hadn't had my 12 week scan I wasn't a patient at the hospital so she suggested either ringing my fertility clinic or turning up at A&E.  Rang the clinic who said that they couldn't do anything because they would only refer me to my GP/hospital.  Didn't fancy sitting at A&E so did a bit of investigation work and found an Early Pregnancy Unit at another hospital nearby.  Rang them and they asked me to come in that morning.  Phew!  The EPU were great - took some details and a urine test and then scanned me.  To our immense relief we saw our little one safe and sound with a good heartbeat - I was so happy!  Unfortunately though there also showed up a massive area of bleeding which is dangerously close to the baby.  We were told that although the signs are good I would probably continue to bleed for a little while and there was a possibility that the bleeding could be heavy and therefore there is a threat of miscarriage.

So, I am sitting here now and am still bleeding and having slight cramps.  I am so scared but trying to be positive.  I am just hoping and praying that the little one hangs on and I stop bleeding soon.  In the meantime I am staying at home resting as not taking any chances.

Can't believe it though, after trying to conceive for 4 years and finally getting our miracle you would hope that we'd have a trouble free pregnanchy but oh no, not us.  Someone up there does not like me very much!

Keep your fingers crossed for me!  Hope you are all doing well. xx

PS.  Had booking appt on Sunday - midwife very nice and loads of info but too worried to look at it at the moment.

Sending you massive hugs there is a lady who posts alot on MD may she had huge bleed at 11 weeks and she just got all clear. They have to tell you worst case scenario your LO has clung on and been strong he/she can get through this.
Rest up as i bled due to over doing it so make sure you get plenty of rest its good that they know the cause of the bleeding and you got to see HB thats a positive sign i know bleeding is scary i am thinking of you and praying LO stays.
Glad midwife is lovely and understand you not being able to look through info yet im keeping everything crossed that at your next scan you too get all clear. Alot of ladies on here i have seen a post have bled for various of reasons and have happy endings i am sure i will be reading yours on there in around 6 months. I had brown bleeding by the way was told that asit wasnt red it wasnt too bad the ache that you have is probably your body working overtime to keep baby safe yet get rid of area of bleeding at same time.
I am praying and keeping everything crossed for you and no one up there hates you i think these things are just thrown at us to show us how lucky we are just as we start relaxing a bit keeps us on our toes.
Have you got date for next scan hun? if not shouldnt be too long.Hopes that gives you the reassurance you need and deserve.

Hi Rachel

I'm so sorry to read that you've had this scare. Bleeding out the blue like that is always really scary but doesn't always mean the worst. As you may remember, I had a several huge bleeds round about 20 weeks but 8 weeks later my little one is still hanging on in there! By resting up, you're doing the best thing - can you get signed off work for a wee while until the bleeding settles down?

Take care.

Love

Sarah

Oh gosh Rachel,

You poor thing.  I would have been beside myself, so sending you big ((hugs)).

I am so glad you baby is okay and can only echo what the other girls have said that you should just put your feet up and take it as easy as you can.

Sending you and your little one love and prayers,
