hi
I wondered if anyone has any info, or prev experience of this. I started bleeding suddenly last sat at 12w. It was v heavy (literally pouring out - sorry tmi). At a&e they said my cervix was open and they saw clots and it would likely be mc. then at a scan on mon they said the cervix had not opened and baby still had a heart beat - i was still bleeding v heavily at that point.
the bleeding has calmed down and at a scan yesterday (at the early preg unit) the baby still had a heartbeat, thank goodness, but they also saw an area of bleed at the placenta. but no one could tell me why this had happened, or whether the bleeding could become really heavy again and what the risk of mc was now, or whether it has affected the baby. They also said they prob wouldn't scan me again until 20w and that I would just have the usual ante natal appts.
I had also had a nuchal scan the day before i started bleeding and that was all fine, no sign of bleed then, but the guy did poke my ab a lot and quite hard trying to make the baby turn around. I wondered if this could have caused a bleed?
sorry this is so long, but feel a bit lost - they did say to stay in bed for 1-2 weeks, but that was all they said. My booking in appt is on 29 july and they say they are too booked up to see me sooner.
thanks for any help
