Pregnant after still birth but now 6 weeks and threatening miscarriage - anyone experience this?
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?
