Spotting - A Miscarriage?

Stacey

I’m currently 10 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I’ve had 3 healthy pregnancies and 3 miscarriages (all around this stage), but my previous losses involved heavy bleeding and intense pain.

This time, I started spotting last Friday—just light brown discharge and mild cramps. Since then, the spotting has continued daily, especially in the evenings. I’ve been so anxious and desperate for reassurance.

I’ve called the Early pregnancy Unit 107 times no one has answered my call or responded to my messages. Because of the bank holiday and ongoing staffing issues, I haven’t been able to get any help. The maternity ward won’t see me because I’m under 13 weeks. I finally got through to the EPU today, and they told me because of staff shortages they can’t scan me until next week. It’s been five days of not knowing if my baby is alive or not, and I’m completely drained—no sleep, constant worry, and no help.

I’m really trying to stay hopeful, but the waiting is heartbreaking. Has anyone had ongoing brown spotting like this and still had a healthy pregnancy? 🙏🏻
