Hi, this is my first post and first pregnancy. I found out I was pregnant 5 weeks ago. My test said 3+ weeks so thought I was now about 11 weeks. I experienced bleeding Wednesday night so went to A&E to get checked out. They booked me for an emergency scan for the next morning to check my pregnancy wasn't eptopic. At the scan the sonographer told us our baby was only measuring at 5w+6 and that it was too soon for a heart beat. I was told I needed a scan the next week to see if there was any growth to show whether the pregnancy was viable. The doctor did an internal and said my cervix was still closed and that my dates could be wrong due to an irregular period. He took my bloods to see how my hcg level compared and I was told to go back next week for another scan and assessment as it was inconclusive. He sounded fairly positive but I went away disheartened as the gap between now and my last period just seemed too big.
Woke up this morning to brown discharge. Phoned the midwife who told me to go back to the hospital to get it checked. Was luckily only there an hour. They told me my bloods Showed a hcg of 11,000 which was inline with the new dates. They also did another internal and said my cervix was still closed so maybe the bleeding was just "one of those things"
I came home to more blood than I've had before but wasn't sure if it was due to the internal disrupting what was just settling from this morning.
I'm so scared each time I go to the toilet I am worried I will see more blood. It's only when I wipe after I wee so not needing a towel. I find it so hard as the hospital don't seem phased by the blood as my cervix being closed seems to reassure them.
I am so confused whether I should be grieving my baby and can't understand how the doctors can be so confident when nothing seems to make sense to me. I have 3 more days until my next scan where I hear my babies fate. I'm back to work tomorrow and just don't know how I am going to cope x
