Bloody Doctors

I feel so anxious.  I tried all day yesterday to make a 7 week scan appoinment to be told I couldn't do this directly (even though I have many times in the past) and that I had to get my GP to contact the hospital to make the appointment for me. The stupid woman at the hospital said "you don't need an early scan as you have had a successful pregnancy".  Like what difference has that made? I told her I've had 1 miscarriage since and now I'm bleeding small amounts and I have a prior history and medical problem which is why I miscarry and she still wouldn't help.   I've had a little more fresh blood this morning and even though 3 small one-off amounts in 4 days isn't much its scaring me.  the weird thing is with the miscarriages I had before having my daughter I didn't bleed.  All MCs were missed miscarriages.  Then the last was a chemical pregnancy and I miscarried within a week of knowing I was pregnant.  When I had my daugther I did bleed a small amount at 4 weeks then again at 6 weeks.  So I don't know whether to take the blood as a good sign or bad. I just feel deep down this pregnancy has gone wrong also and I don't know how I get the strength to keep going on and dealing with it.  I know I am very very lucky to have my daughter but I would like to have another child. I feel so lonely and stressed.  I just wish things will work out for me again.  And then thats it I won't have to put myself through this again.

Try your best to relax and let go of this. I still worry and baby is on my mind all day, but when I had bleeding I had to accept that this is not in my control and trust that God was taking care of my baby... I have to pray a lot and stay focused or else I will go crazy!
Many women have had bleeding like your and carried to full term, so don\'t lose hope just yet. I know that when I had bleeding I believed that this pregnancy was gone, I was sure... like you I felt deep down that it had gone all wrong. But the next day I woke up and said I wasn\'t ready to give up hope and prayed my heart out... that was the day I hit 9wks and here I am at 13wks 3days.
Call you doctor today and don\'t give up until they schedule the scan for you. Take deep breaths and try to relax... the stress is no good for you or baby. I know that is the hardest thing to do right now, but you have to try. Hugs.
