Emergency Scan

[Bella2]

As some as you may know I've been getting a dark brown discharge for a while now. When I first got it I visited my out of hours clinic who told me it was most likely implantation bleeding. Well I've been getting it for over 2 weeks now, some days theres enough to fill a pantyliner so it's really been worrying me. Yesterday tried to get hold of midwife but she was on annual leave till today so called the hospital, they then told me to call my doctor! Doctor didn't really know what was the cause so told me to see the nurse at the surgery so she could take a swab in case it's an infection. After having the swab taken the nurse said the results would take 7 days but because she could see a fair amount of this brown blood on my cervix that I should contact midwife ASAP.
Spoke to midwife this morning who has now reffered me to the hospital for an early scan this Thursday. So relieved I'm finally going to get seen to, feel like I've been pushed from pillar to post with no one really knowing what the matter is. Wish I had been offered the scan 2 weeks ago rather than go through all this upset

Some NHS systems are appalling!!! To put you through so much worry is just ridiculous. Does your local hospital not have an Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit (EPAU) which you can ring directly with any problems? Worth checking out when you attend your scan for future reference.
Good luck with the scan!

Thanks hon well didn't actually realise that my hospital had an EPU until this morning when I spoke to the midwife, she said she would contact them to see what they said and call me back, then when she called back she said they wanted to see me for the scan. In future though I will definately ring the EPU first!

Hope it's all ok hun. That is rubbish that midwife was on annual leave and there was no cover for her - like you say, this could have been investigated weeks ago and has caused you alot of anxiety. Any health professional such as a midwife should have cover and an alternative tel number for you to phone. xx
