I dont know how common this is but here goes sorry a bit long but please read any advice is needed! I had a miscarraige 5 months ago after 12 weeks after complications and had to be put to sleep. I had alot of complications after that hemoriging/ blood clots in the womb and ended up in hospital on and off for about nine weeks. I had my first proper period on December the 18th 2006 and last week I was 2 days late on my period so knowing the symptons etc I tooka pregnancy test and it was positive! I was so happy I had an emergency appointment booked with the midwife and she booked me in for a scan which was 2 weeks away which would make me 7 weeks. As you all probably know she said it would be to soon to see anything before this time. I was very anxious and upset I had to wait this long but thought Iwas lucky to actually get preggas again so thought I would wait it out. Well me and my partner had sex on Saturday morning and I got a bit of cramp in my stomach (thought it was normal) to find later on that day I started to bleed well my heart fell I rang NHS direct and they basically told me to sit it out as it mught just be spot bleeding! Well I did and I was still bleeding on Sunday not really major heavy just like a normal period but wasnt suffering any cramp etc? I took it for the worse and gathered I had had a miscarrige and went to the drs on Monday Morning due to the history of the last miscarraige and he told me I may have not lost the baby as it is quite common for women to have periods in the early stages of their pregnancy? What I want to know has anyone suffered this and come through with a baby? I really want a child and dont know how I will cope with ANOTHER miscarraige? Could i stillbe prggas? Also my tummy is still very hard? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!! I need answers. I have another scan but it is in 2 days time and think I am living in false hope at the moment? x Sorryto go on just need advice thank you Rach x

hiya been to doc for a scan this morning after i bled after having intercourse with my other half. the doc i spoke to today said poss causes for light bleeding are irritation of the cervix (quite normal apparently). I am only six weeks and my baby showed up on the scan today with a heartbeat. dont know if this helps in anyway.

Thank you you have put my mind at rest slightly I will cry my heart out if the baby has stayed with us! I have been bleeding for 2 and a half days now though although today I have hardly Bled at all! Really hope its just spotting! PLEASE GOD!!!!!!

Thank you again so much x

Really sorry to hear your story. I have just had a miscarriage at 7 weeks. It was very upsetting, but we are thinking positive and trying again.

I found out that I had BV (Bacteria Vaginsis) it is when there is little good bacteria in your vagina to combat the bad bacteria (Low flora), the symptoms are like mild thrust. When I researched it on the net there was a study of women how had had miscarriages and 31% had got BV compared to 18% without. When I was in hospitial they took a swab and thats how we found out. It certainly has given me something to think about and so I have changed my diet, increased my Vit C and zinc intake and don't use bubble bath or other products for washing.

I am not an expert, I just wanted to pass on what I know.

Keep going and remember you have your partner, family and friends... treat yourselves to something nice this valentines!! My hubby and i are off to Paris, can't wait! Might make a baby there!!!!

Take care
