I started bleeding thursday i thought it was just some spotting but went to the gp anyway, she told me to go home n rest it was prob nothing. I returned home n started bleeding more, i have had 2 miscarriages a few years back so i knew this was a bad sign, so i went to the emergency room where the bleeding continued to get heavier and i I started bleeding thursday i thought it was just some spotting but went to the gp anyway, she told me to go home n rest it was prob nothing. I returned home n started bleeding more, i have had 2 miscarriages a few years back so i knew this was a bad sign, so i went to the emergency room where the bleeding continued to get heavier and started passing clots. At this stage i was devostated and had no hope that is until i went 4 an ultrasound and saw my baby still there with its tiny heart beating 140 bpm i felt so relieved i cant even explain the feeling. I was kept in overnight because i was still bleeding heavily and the drs didnt know where it was coming from.
I was told i had a threatned miscarriage by the obgyn and she cldnt see why i wldnt go on to have a healthy baby. I was discharged n told to go 2 my gp the next day 4 a blood test to test my hcg levels. I left that hospital with so much hope.
I went home to rest n the bleeding almost had stopped i was so positive my baby was still alive. I had the blood test on the saturday morning n sat around nervously all day. My gp called me at 5pm to tell me my hcg levels had dropped dramatically so unfortunately my baby is gone.
Ive never been so devostated in my whole life i cant even leave my bed at the moment, I cant c prgnant people or babies on tv without crying, looking at my own 8 year old son makes me upset n im so angry at the drs 4 giving me false hope. Im still bleeding and everytime i get a blood clot i wonder if its my baby. How am i ever supposed to live a normal life again?

Early miscarriage is such a normal part of reproduction to medically educated people but it's never taught about in schools or even discussed much in society so most women really believe that when they have a positive pregnancy test, that means they're going to have a baby. The false hope starts from the beginning :( Maybe these early pregnancy tests should have a reminder on them that 1 in 5 of those pregnancies they detect may end in miscarriage. At least then we'd be prepared.
Take your time to recover, physically and emotionally. You will feel better in time but definitely avoid pregnant people and those with babies. You've suffered miscarriages before so you know that you are strong enough to cope with this.

And AbiW is right... seeing that BFP says "we're having a baby!!!!!". No one thinks about the damn percentage of miscarriage. It's supposed to be the happiest time in our lives. Unfortunately for us... it was ripped away far too soon.
