How did you know you m/c?

[Bellas_mummy]

Hi,

I posted this poll to try and understand what is normal when you m/c. Since it is suspected we have but i have had no symptoms i am wondering what you have all experienced.

Please share if you can.

You will know if you're having a miscarriage. I had what's called a 'missed miscarriage' where the baby died at 8 weeks, but I didn't miscarry until 11.5 wks. I think I knew something wasn't right, because I kept telling people (at about 8 weeks onwards) 'I feel too well, I don't even feel pregnant' and said 'do you think I'd know if the baby had died?' :eek: but I still had sore (.)(.) and was very tired right up until the end. TMI coming: My miscarriage started with bright red blood (no pain), then started to get very clotty and subsided for a night. But the next day the pain was unbearable, and there was so much blood loss and clots.

I'm so sorry if you think you are experiencing a miscarriage. Why do you think you are, if you don't mind me asking??

Hi EmsMum72 and everyone else,

The reason i think i am m/c is because we went for our 9 week u/s and they said i had m/c as the womb only measured about 5 weeks and there was a yoke but no baby. We then booked in for a d & c that day and just before i had it the ob told me my bloods had levels 8500, a lot higher than she had originally thought. So we are waiting a week and repeating bloods and u/s and i so hope there is some mix up with dates or something and i am still preg. But it is just a waiting game. If you want to know more of what happened i wrote quite a long post in this thread on either sunday or monday.

Thanks for the support we are keeping our:fingerscrossed:

ttcin2007 that sounds like a blighted ovum. I was diagnosed with one at 12 weeks a few months ago. It is basically what you described - everything but the baby. I hope for your sake that it isn't. It is disappointing - heart rendingly so. I wish you all the luck in the world that there is someone hiding in that sac.

During other miscarriages I have had (5 in total, 3 in the last 12 months) I have had excessive pain and bleeding following becoming pregnant.

hi Duchessa,

It does sound like a blighted ovum, i have just done a bit of research on it. The ob didnt mention that though, i guess sometimes they dont give details just say m/c is that right?

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through, what an emotional rollercoaster. I really hope that you have your dates wrong and that your baby is ok. The doctor should have spoken with you about a blighted ovum, maybe he didn't want to alarm you yet until you have further tests next week?? I will go and read your story. Best of luck to you :hugs:

I m/c at 8 weeks i bled and crampt for 3 days all up it was all confirmed by unltrasound then i had a D&C and was pregnant one week later i am now a healthy 10 weeks pregnant. Good Luck darling i hope they are wrong :fingerscrossed:

[Bellas_mummy]

Wow Mrs J, that is fantastic that you got preg so quickly!!!! I had no idea it can happen so fast. That gives me more hope now if we go down that road.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and thanks for sharing.

I got pregnant and didnt even know,ds was only about 3 months old and we wernt trying to concieve.

It didnt show up on a pg test cause it was too early.

I had a suspician i was cause i had morning sickness.

I then got af and was quite heavy and painful i had to take pain killers.On the 4th day of af when it should have been slowing down it got heavier and i had clots.

I went to the doctor and she confirmed i had a m/c.

i was the same as you a few months ago, i went for my check up and bub was at 6 weeks with no fetal poll and then a week later bub was 6 weeks and 2 days. i should have been 11 weeks.

for me i just knew from the moment i fell that something was wrong, i never got one little twinge down there...no little pains, no bloting, nothing, and for me they were all there when i fell with DD.

Sorry to hear what your gonig through TTCin2007. :hugs:

1st M/c @ 5 1/2 weeks : Woke in the middle of the night went to the loo, and walaa!... wiped and was bleeding. I knew i was pg 4 days before AF.. so i was devastated. Then the cramping started and a little clotting, but really jsut a heavy Af and lasted a week.

2nd m/c @ 12 weeks : Long story but went to nuchal scan and baby measure only 8 weeks, (doc later told me it was 9 weeks but gets smaller(dehydrate) as time goes on)... no bleeding nothing..doc wanted to wait and see not wanting to actually call it quits, we scheduled another ultrasound for 5 days later and an ob appt the day after that to arrange the d & c should it be a bas result.. we didnt get that far 2 days later i felt off.....my whole family were moving house and i was left on the couch.. all day.. just slight cramping.. gettign slowly worse.. still no bleeding at 8pm on our way home on the F3...i was in full labour.. i had massive contractions painful as, 2 mins apart lasting about 40 - 60 seconds.. my partner was freaking out.. and wanted to pull over and call an ambulance.. i made him drive me to our local hosp afte a 2 hours car trip... we "laboured" for 3m ore hours with no bleeding.. but thenit happened.. and the bleeding was HUGE!!...massive clots they had truoble stoping the bleeding. then 6 hours later did a d & c... it was the most horrendous experience of my life..

the ob who did the d & c.. was called in to do it, i have no seen him afterwards and is now MY OB.. he was mad as hell the Dr left it to happen this way.. he should have reffered me for D & C straight away.. not let me go through that..



Not wishing to frighten anyone.. just want to let people know my experience in the hope it can help someone else.

I lost my first baby. I went for a scan and the doctor said that she couldn't see a heartbeat and that I would most likely lose the baby, and said come back in a week if nothing has happened. If you get any bleeding come straight to the clinic. If nothing happened in a week she was going to give me a D&C becuase we were heading back to Aus on annual leave a few days after that.
That was Tuesday and on Sunday I had terrible pain in my back, then awful cramps, so my husband took me down to the hospital and the doc on duty said go home, if you bleed for longer than an hour come straight back.
About a half hour after we got home the cramps got worse and then everything came out over course of half hour.
Back to clinic next day, had another scan, two clots still in there, gave me some drugs. Next day clots came out.
It was quite an awful experience. But I think having seen the scan prepared me for it, knowing it would happen.
I was pregnant again within a month.
We are talking about having baby number two and I am feeling a little concerned about losing another baby. My mum had three miscarriages (and seven healthy babies) and said everyone is jst as hard.
I think I might be the same with the next pregnancy as with when I was first pregnant with Jack - if I don't know I'm pregnant, then nothing will go wrong.

Miscarriage is awful.
