How can they say a mc is imminent ? Hb and cervix closed looks gd to me but it depends in the rate if the hb they say if it's under 100 it's not a gd sign but can still be ok she would know if she loses a baby at 14 weeks ur talking a baby here albeit a bit small size of a large plum so she will be in some pain and will defo see a baby come out, I hope everything turns out ok for ur sister though fc xxx

I'm not sure how they are coming to the conclusion that she will loose the baby......but if they feel a mc is likely then nothing she can do will stop it, if she has a bleed in the uterus that is putting hte baby at risk, then bed rest may help lessen the bleed and make the risk less, but even then she could go on complete bed rest for weeks and if there is a problem with the baby it will not help.

I have read so many stories about women bleeding throughout their pregnancies and the baby being fine at every scan they had......so it may not be so.

I really hope it turns out ok and the hospital are wrong.

Hiya, I would advise that she does go to hospital. I was over 11 weeks last time (both times but I suspect the first time that the baby died around 7 weeks so it wasn't as bad as the second time when I know it was at least 10 weeks) and it was very very tough going through that at home. 14 weeks would be even q

Whoops - pressed send by accident
14 weeks would be even worse than that. I would never go it alone again, I would be in hospital. That's my biggest regret - because that way I could have had a biopsy on the baby and may have had a chance of knowing what went wrong.
I really hope she is ok xxx

Thanks so much evryone.

She has had blood on and off for the last 24hrs but it has eased off esp ova night. She is at her mums today and the midwife has said that she needs to rest and that it looks promising if she doesnt bleed much more. So fx its guna be ok. Guess its just a waiting game.
