Threatened Miscarriage

Hunkamumma, that is seriously unacceptable care. You poor thing! If I were you (and I've been there a few times) I would be finding a new GP. But in the meantime, they should be doing bloods every 2 days to see if your hcg is doubling. 2 weeks is way too long to wait for this. Please go to your doc again tomorrow and get the referral. For threatened m/c the bloods should be bulk billed. I feel so sorry for you girls with your c*appy GPs. Mine was so great. I'm thinking myself very lucky right now.

I am with Nat, that sort of care from a GP is unacceptable. As soon as you have the chance, find yourself a better dr.. I am so thankful I have such a wonderful GP, I wish my SO had of gone to her instead of her cr*ppy GP

Yes, he was an *******. He instead, swap tested me for any infection that 'may' cause miscarage. I asked if he could hear a heartbeat and he just said no because mine was too loud.

not very reassuring for me.
A week later i have no more cramping just a heap of white discharge, i never had bleeding. I had my 10week bloods for combined screening today and im just hoping for the best. I too, dont even know if my bubs is still alive in there. It sux so bad that the maternity/womens health dont want anything to do with you when ur under 12weeks. They just fob u off to ED or ur GP.
I get a scan in 2 weeks when i reach 12 weeks....its gonna be a long 2 week wait.
Once again, sorry ur going thru this. all the best for a healthy pregnancy and take care of yourself

Sounds like a butt head of a GP I went to when I thought I was having a M/C.

I personally WOULDN'T wait the two weeks, as if you have (

that you haven't!) had a m/c that you have 'retained' products of, you could likely get a infection in your womb.

I do hope your bub has been a sticky!

I had a threatened mc and bled moderately, cramped and padded small clots for three weeks from 5-9 wks and then it stopped overnight and I went on to have a healthy baby. I was bleeding from above the pregnancy and was told that although heartbeat was within normal range, I still had a 50/50 chance of mc.

Your story sounds like it will have a positive outcome to me

good luck

I never wrote back on this forum i have just noticed, sorry for anyone who was waiting to see what happened. Unfortunately i did miscarriage as i expected. It was, i guess in a way expected but still upsetting at the time. I am just glad my partner and i didn't tell any family or friends so we didn't have to face the ongoing questions.

We are getting married at the end of the year and plan to start trying after the wedding, although the miscarriage was from an unplanned pregnancy, there is still that fear of it all happening again.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughts, and i hoe anyone reading this post experiencing a similar scenario has a better outcome.
