I sat here and read all the posts, Im having a miscarriage right now. Ive been bleeding for 5 days now. Im around 10 weeks, and like someone else stated, I know my body and my breasts arent tender anymore, and I even feel better as far as the sickness, i feel more energized now and etc.. I know whats up. I'll be going to emergency tonight, during the day is just too busy for me. I waited because I thought the bleeding would stop but it got heavier..
   Best thing always is to go to the doctor or ER. I wish all of you the best...

hi i had a miscarriage 2 years ago now my little boy would of been 3 this year. i wasnt using protection but i had been with my other half for nearly 2 years and we still together now. i put on a little bit of weight but nothing drastic to make me think i was pregnant, one day whilst at the bank i began to feel dizzy and immediatly knew i had to take a test so a few days after xmas i took a test which resulted in positive so i took another the day after just to be sure and it was positive same as hen i went to the doctors for a 3rd opinion. so i had jus found out i was pregnant 4 days before my 21st i was happy because i wanted a baby but scared after all i was only gonna be 21. we recieved a letter from the hospital to say i was booked in for a scan in the february, in the december i went for a check up ay my local gp where she gave me an ulttrasound scan and felt my stomach to make sure everything was ok,she couldnt hear a heartbeat but told me it was probably because we werent 100% how far along i was, then a week later i recieved another letter from the hospital to say my scan had been brought forward,i knew in my heart something was wrong but yet i had experienced no bleeding/clots or any stomach/back cramps, that is until teh day before my scan a sunday i woke up as i was due to work that day but i cudnt move my stomach was i absolute agony i cud barely make it to the toilet, i laid in bed most of the day. the next morning me and my partner went for our scan and my worst nightmare was confirmed my baby had died :(. no signs or anything was what got me i didnt even know i had lost my baby, never mind the fact didn't know i was pregnant till i was 19 weeks. i had to go through the traumer of labour and it was horrible something no-one should ever have to go through. i would of had a little boy and we name him jake,a few weeks after test to see whether to m/c was anything to do with genetic reasons we had a burial for him. i think about him everyday and miss him alot,but i know that he is safe where ever he is and that one day soon he will have a little brother or sister.
