Threatened Miscarriage

I wanted to ask any other ladies how they have coped emotionally going through this. I have brown bleeding at 8 weeks, I have a ultrasound booked at EPU on Wednesday to confirm one way or the other. I've been grieving for the loss of my baby already. I just don't know how I'll move on from this. How have you ladies moved on positive from this? Will I ever be happy again? Or laugh? I desperately want a baby, but I want a happy life too, I don't know if I could go through this again, I don't know if its worth it to try again. This week has been the worst week of my life.

Try not to think the worse, this could still be a very positive outcome. Brown is very normal for lots of people. It's so easy to think the worse, but try and keep calm and think positive. I completely know how you feel as I have been there, but it's not always the worse case scenario. Good luck for Wednesday xx

I also had threatened miscarriage and really believed I would’nt see anything when we had our scan but I was lucky and it went well. You’re not out yet I hope it goes positively for you.

I had brown and pink spotting for weeks.... I had my 20 week scan yesterday and my little man is doing just fine in there! Remember, you’ve had lots of poking about up there- and as baby grows it’s got to go somewhere. Try to be positive.... I completely understand how you feel but I tortured myself and everything is fine. Good luck honey xxx

I had loads of bleeding, from week 8 to week 11, every couple of day - bright red too, and my baby is fine! Brown blood is often old blood. So many women bleed, and there are so many reasons for it (implantation, cervical erosion, breakthrough bleed, an infection - I know as I researched endlessly. I know how scary it is, and I know how helpless you feel, but there is every chance it will all be ok! Big hugs xxx

I'm still bleeding brown today, this is day 4 of brown bleeding. This time tomorrow at least I'll know. I just want this hell to be over. I'm exhausted from grief, there's no tears left to cry. I hope if its miscarriage, they can surgically remove soon because I need to feel like myself again. I'm not eating properly, I need to do a food shop, but can't bring myself to leave the house. My MIL cleaned my house today, as I'm just in a state on the sofa. I'm off work. I just want to get back to being myself.

Hi.... I know any form of bleeding leads us to be alarmed which I'm all too familiar with... but I had a bleed for a week at 7 weeks.... again at 11 weeks which was bright red and turned to brown blood which lasted for two weeks and my baby is still growing & thriving.... so don't give up and like every one said brown blood is just old blood which my doctor explained. Good luck on Wed.
