8 weeks gushing blood!! Miscarriage??

Allie

I just want to share what just recently happened to me. I was about to go to bed, I got up and went to use the restroom and when I stood up I started gushing blood down my legs I was shaking and I just got my Fiance and looked him in the eyes and said “I’m having a miscarriage”. He rushed me to the er because my doctor had said if I have bleeding I should go right in. they talked to me a bit at the er but over all couldn’t do anything to help me, they said to go to my normal doctor in the morning. They said although they couldn’t do an ultrasound that they would take my blood to check hcg levels but I got dressed in a gown and laid down and they stuck me four times and couldn’t draw blood for some reason so I laid there bleeding through my gown as they tried to draw blood, my poor Fiancé was crying and I felt so numb. I eventually said I would just like my normal doctors to take blood the next day, they gave me a pad and when I got up the blood was flowing so hard I ran to the bathroom to put the pad on. I went home knowing in my heart I had miscarried or started miscarrying and just tried to come to terms with it. I went to my ob in the morning so sad just dreading hearing what I was so sure that I knew. To my absolute shock we saw a baby, and heard a strong heartbeat, ob said my baby looked perfect said he saw no signs of a miscarriage beginning and although this early he couldn’t promise anything he said I have a perfectly healthy pregnancy. He said he thinks I have a very sensitive cervix and that sex could have caused the bleeding so i’m on bed and pelvic rest for two weeks until my 10 week appointment. Although nothing is ever promised in pregnancy, I feel very blessed at least for the time being that I do have a healthy baby who significantly progressed from my 7 week ultrasound. I wanted to share this to any women who have bleeding to know it might not be the end for you. I was so absolutely sure because I’ve always been told bleeding means loss. I’m just praying this baby sticks and that this might relieve anyone out there going through something similar. ❤️
