Thank you so much everyone on here for being so lovely and I don't think I would've even went hospital if it wasn't for people on here being like you should go. I got to the hospital at 10.30 last night and didn't get out until 5am, after a lot of tests, had a drip, they checked me down there. The doctor said it is a early miscarriage and I just need to go home and rest, take tablets for the pain and it shouldnt be as bad in a few days and the stress not eating and everything will be affecting me a lot as well. So I then had to go speak to a psychologist cos they were worried about me because I was just so stressed, tired, confused, crying I kept having to ask them to repeat everything they just said. Then he said I could leave and it was 5am I had no one with me and no way of getting home cos I didn't want to phone and ask anyone because I'd wake them up, first bus wasn't until 7 and I explained to the security guy can I just sit inside here I've been seen but it's so cold and I'm in so much pain because the seats outside is so uncomfortable and I need to charge my phone and he was like no we can't have you inside here if youve been seen because of coronavirus so I was just standing outside for two hours crying in pain then got the bus at seven, got home at eight and went to sleep for a bit so just thought I'd let you all know that I'm okay at least I went to the hospital so I know now although it was really hard and I still feel so awful and in pain the now but I will be fine soon hopefully Xx

Congratulations XX . Don’t take anymore of the weeks tests. I did and mine never went up, I was getting myself into a right state thinking why are the numbers going up. But everything was fine. And when I mentioned it on a baby site some mums said these tests were banned in some countries xx

I second this - I drove myself mad as mine went up really slowly with this pregnancy. I was 1-2 weeks for aaages. I would open them up to look at the colour of the lines which you’re not meant to do. Ended up on the phone to the doctor crying (after a previous loss). That pregnancy is now a 1 week old baby asleep on my chest

I’m so invested in this thread!! Can’t wait to hear baby news from a total stranger on the internet haha

Hey everyone, sorry been quiet on here but thank you for all the love and being so kind xx

Don't know how true this is but I think you can have a false positive but not a false negative.

I always thought the opposite was true with pregnancy tests. False negatives are more likely as you may be getting a negative result due to it being too early to determine.

If the test is showing a positive result at all (even faintly) then it is detecting the hormone in your pee.

@SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur how are you keeping?

@Upintheair83 how are you feeling too?

Hey I'm okay - pain isn't as bad & bleeding ain't as heavy. One of my friends has just announced on Facebook she's pregnant though and it felt a bit weird like normally i would just comment being like congratulations but I didn't want to just made me feel sad, but I did in the end and then I got a bit sad deleting the pregnancy app I was using.. My friend was saying a few things that just have made me feel worse but then I don't want to say anything to cause an argument neither but why be like "at least you can drink again woo" Like that's the most important thing x

But I'm fine though just gotta keep trying to be strong and not getting so upset because I don't want everyone being like what's wrong and @Upintheair83 I really hope everything goes well for you - try you best not to worry too much, although I know how hard it is xx

@SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur you have been on my mind all day and yesterday. Wish I could just come and give you a big hug

I’ve got a few choice words about the hospital (I’m a nurse, I cannot stand hearing about poor care!!) but I will have my rant offline. I’m so sorry they left you outside and I’m sorry you’re in pain. That wasn’t fair or kind

Please be gentle with yourself - there was nothing you could have done and nothing you did to cause this. It is a very sad, hard fact of life that is so painful and so common. I know it’s easier said than done but please try not to point fingers at yourself

I’m sorry to hear that, I don’t think miscarriage is talked about enough, seeing what skinnyTurkeydinosaur is going through is making me be very realistic about my pregnancy, I’m trying not to get attached. But alot of people seem to talk like once you are pregnant that it’s a given it will be ok. It’s really opened my eyes to be honest. I’m heartbroken for our friend here and I’m just taking things step at a time. I do think it’s should be talked about more.
Sending everyone love who’s had a mc, and who knows it may happen to me. We never know what’s intended do we? Much love and hugs xx

Sending you a big hug too

I agree with what the others have said - please try and find positives to focus on. I have a horrendous history - my son was a 35 weeker, my daughter was a crash c-section at 30 weeks and I was put to sleep, I then had a mc and our youngest after that was a 33 weeker.

I really struggled after my daughter and after my mc. But I loved being pregnant. I love my babies. Sure, I’d have loved beautiful home births with dolphins and fireworks and pizza and what have you but that wasn’t on the cards for us. My youngest’s birth was really empowering, I even got a shot in the pool thanks to my midwife. I’m a neonatal nurse and I have seen every side of a story and I still would tell people that they should be excited about their pregnancy.

I want to send love to all the ladies on this thread, so many stories of loss and hard roads to motherhood, and so many who haven’t started the journey yet but are supporting others. X

Im so so sorry, and I'm heartbroken you were on your own. As a midwife I can categorically state it wasn't your fault. Drinking how you did would not have caused this. Sadly at times these things happen and nothing anyone does can prevent it. Please know you have all our love on this thread and we are here for you. Sending you an over the Internet hug xxxx

Oh my sweetheart I’m so so sorry. I’m sorry for your loss but also that you were alone and cold and confused. It really breaks my heart to know you were all by yourself. Are you still by yourself?
I don’t know what to say, Iv got no words of advice because I can’t even imagine how you must feel. All I know is that you haven’t left my thoughts all day long.
Just keep resting like they said, and make sure you don’t over do anything. I suppose at least you know now, and you can focus on feeling physically better. You can always pop on here and let your feelings out if it helps. Don’t bottle them up.
I’m really at a loss as what to say other than, I know I don’t know you, but I truly am here for you and sending love your way xxx

 

[SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur]

Thinking about you @SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur how have things been the rest of today?

still bleeding and still in a lot of pain feel so dizzy just walking round the house. It's rubbish like but I'll be okay thank you, and everyone else on here you all have been so lovely x

 

[NP]

I am so sorry @SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur. Please be assured that nothing you did caused this to happen. I lost a baby at 10 weeks in January and I couldn’t understand why it had happened, but the fact is sometimes these shit things are just out of our control. Please have plenty of rest and look after yourself. We’re all here for you if you need to talk.

 

[SonicTheSpikeyThing]

I haven’t commented in here before but skinnyturkeydinosaur if you need anyone to chat to then I’m here
I found. Out yesterday at an emergency scan that my baby didn’t develop and I just have a sack measuring 9 weeks. I’m currently waiting for it to pass.
No one should go through that alone. Sorry you weren’t treated better at the hospital. Sending you lots of love and like I’ve said if you wanna chat rant or vent. I’m here

 

[SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur]

I'd advise going to A&E, or an early pregnancy unit if you have one (A&E can refer you). Sometimes women bleed during pregnancy for no sinister reason. I hope all is ok xxx

I called 111 and they said because I'm only 5 weeks to just see if it gets any heavier then go to the hospital and if it doesn't everything could be okay. Just rest and in a week take another pregnancy test and if it's still positive would be okay but if it's not it most likely is chemical pregnancy/ early miscarriage xx

I want to send love to all the ladies on this thread, so many stories of loss and hard roads to motherhood, and so many who haven’t started the journey yet but are supporting others. X

This is what women supporting women looks like and it's beautiful.

I'm sending my love to all who have experienced heartache and loss and I urge you not to blame yourself. I've never been pregnant so I can imagine it's easier said than done but know you have support here if you don't feel like you have enough support around you xx

 

[Upintheair83]

OMG ladies Iv just done a test and I’m pregnant too! Can I have some advice?
how many tests do you need to do to make sure?
I feel totally fine and have no symptoms!! And I’m in shock, Iv been drinking too as Iv been celebrating my birthday and now I scared Iv done any harm! Also when do you contact the doctor? I’m so happy but scared! I cant think straight at the moment xx

Hope no one minds me joining in. I am 7 weeks today (first pregnancy) and I have an early scan Friday to check heartbeat etc and I told a couple of close friends when I found out and I got a negative response with “oooh you shouldn’t have told people!”, why not? Women should be able to celebrate pregnancy from as soon as they find out, and if the worst happens it should also be encouraged to talk about. It’s nothing to be ashamed off and there’s still a massive stigma about not telling people and that annoys me. Why suffer in silence? It should be talked about openly and support groups encouraged.

@SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur I hope you are okay, let us all know xxx
