Miscarriage confirmed today (8 weeks)
Just confirmed today that I had a miscarriage (at 8 weeks). Last Wednesday was a normal morning - nothing out the ordinary. I went to the bathroom and noticed a little blood. I of course panicked, and called my Dr but they couldn't see me until later that day. My husband drove me to the ER and we got a scan. The doctor there said everything looked good for 8 weeks and that I should only worry if it's a ton of blood or cramps.
The next day, I had barely any bleeding but was able to see my OB. I showed her pics I took of the blood and she reassured me that it's not uncommon to bleed a little. To me it was a lot of blood but she said it wasn't really. I went home feeling a bit better about it but then later that afternoon I started getting cramps. The cramps were around my sides and got more intense as the day went on. At about 5pm, it almost felt like labor pains - I had a hard time breathing through them. Then 20 minutes passes and it all disappeared. I had a bit more blood but nothing that raised alarm bells.
For the next 3 days I had light bleeding but again nothing that concerned me. Then Sunday, after not bleeding the whole day and thinking it was over, I passed a small weird looking clot. I then realized that I most definitely had a miscarriage 😔 I was reading and looking for any explanation but the simplest most obvious thing was that it's a miscarriage.
Today I had my prenatal appt and they did a vaginal ultrasound and confirmed it. I think I'm ok - I probably cried my eyes out this past weekend so the news today hit hard but I mentally prepared for it. Sending love to everyone here ❤️
I'm so sorry love. I had an ectopic last November and it left me completely heartbroken. We had been trying for 11 months at that point. You just went through a trauma. Please be gentle with yourself. Take time to think and grieve that little being. I believe they stay with us and we will get to see them in another life. Sending you the biggest hug.
