Hi Guys
Just wondered if anybody had any advice or similar stories. I had a couple of spots of blood over week 5 and 6 so after contacting the midwife I was booked in for an early scan. We thought I should be 8 weeks but the scan showed a fetus of 6 weeks with no heart beat. I was asked to come back in two weeks for another scan. That evening I started bleeding, assuming I was starting a miscarriage I prepared for a tough night. However over the next three days I was bleeding on and off and with out any pain. I contacted the midwife again as I was very worried what was happening. I went for another scan 4 days after the first and it showed the fetus was still there. It has now been a week and I am still bleeding, some days are close to heavy and bright red but then it starts to dry up, before it starts again. Today is the first day I am starting to feel a bit of discomfort, again this morning I thought the pain was going to get worse, but as yet this hasn't happend. I still have a whole week to wait until my next scan. I am starting to get down and think I have no chance.
