Hi!
I am new to the forum and am looking for some support. Please excuse the long post, but I wanted to be clear about what is happening.
I am 10 weeks pregnant today, I am certain my dates are correct because of two factors; one when I tested positive for pregnancy, and the other due to certain events that need to happen for pregnancy, and my husband was away for a while ;)
I tested positive on the 14th of June (a few days past 4 weeks after 1st day of last period), after having known I was pregnant for at least a week or so. I started to have this very strong feeling for no particular reason that I was pregnant with twins - could have been paranoia, but I had not had it with any of my other 3 pregnancies. On the 30th June I started cramping, and hard a rock hard tummy and sharp pain to the right side of my belly button (seems unrelated, but I do have a slightly dodgy liver), and occasionally very low down near my pubic line. On the 6th of July the spotting began, at first I wasn't really concerned and let it take it's course for a few days, by the 10th small particles and clots (no larger than 3mm) started to pass and the blood darkened and increased significantly, still not a period, but far more than spotting. I felt a loss, and the concept of twins just disappeared, cravings disappeared, and the pregancy test the doctor did only just showed a very faint positive. He organised an ultrasound but pretty much told me I had miscarried or would in the next few days. The ultrasound showed a baby 2 1/2 weeks smaller than she should have been, with a heart beat but it was only 85bpm and irregular. The Doctor at the ultrasound (he was called in after the result) also prepped me for the imminent miscarriage. On the 15th, the bleeding stopped, but the cramping continued, preganancy symptoms slowly returned, but not as prominent. A few days ago, it began again, as did the cramping, and it is now as heavy as a period and dark, with tiny clots. I have another ultrasound on Wednesday and am really worried now. The doctor told me to hold tight till Wednesday, but it's much easier said than done. This baby is already a part of my family and I love her very much. What I need right now is to know whether anyone experienced this and the baby survived.
I can't talk to my husband right now, as he handles things differently and worries all the more if I say what I feel. He seems also to be only focusing on my health, not the babies and it hurts to think he has already given her up, like the doctors have, perhaps I am not being fair, as everyone has the right to handle things differently, but I need support now :gloomy:
Thanks in advance
