Bleeding and cramping at 6 weeks.
This is my 2nd pregnancy. My first ended in loss at 23 weeks in April 2015 due to my daughter having trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome). My husband and I have been trying to concieve again for over a year with no luck until now. I found out last Saturday I was pregnant and I was happy but apprehensive. I thought this would be it - our bad luck would be over and we'd finally get our rainbow baby, but a part of me feared it would never happen.
Today I am 6 weeks and 1 day. I went to pee and when I wiped there was blood. I started to panic. At first, it seemed there was only brown blood when I wiped but now the blood has turned red and is more thick and is starting to feel more like a period. I have cramps that are not that terrible pain wise, but are more consistent and constant.
I went to a weekend NHS clinic 40 minutes from my house because it was the only place that was open. The doctor said it was a threatening miscarriage.... But couldn't book me urgently to have a scan because at this point there's nothing to be done. I am beside myself with fear and anxiety - I can't believe this is happening right now. I'm 27 and healthy! I have a scan booked for Tuesday morning but I'm absolutely terrified to go because if I am miscarrying I don't want to go through the pain of seeing an empty screen and knowing it's officially over.
I guess my question is - has anyone experienced something similar and actually managed to not miscarry and have a healthy baby at the end?
