am i having a mc?
I started bleeding at about 3.30pm yesterday, it was bright red and there wasn't enough to soak my pantyliner. I went straight to a&e and after 3 hours they took some blood from me and sent me home saying i'd hear from the early pregnancy unit tomorrow.
Whilst i was in a&e the bleeding stopped but at about 9.30pm i had a dark red mucus discharge. This morning i had a brown discharge (more like syrup than discharge) i've had nothing since but i've still got cramps which i've had for the past few weeks.
I phoned the EPU this morning to ask their advice and they said they couldn't get me in for a scan for at least a week and to see my midwife tomorrow who would decide if i needed one or not.
The EPU said they would phone me back with the blood results - but nothing as yet.
I honestly thought that they would have scanned me asap - how stupid of me!
Anyway i'm gutted, as is my dh. I'm fearing the worst just because i know bleeding isn't a good sign.
As anyone experienced anything like this before?

The blood you are describing today sounds like leftover from the bleed yesterday, i would really push for a scan cos at both of mine the baby was fine with strong heartbeat and the blood wasn't coming from baby or womb but probably my cervix which can bleed with cell changes.
I would get into bed and rest until you can see your midwife or gp.

My original booking in appoinment with the mw is in the morning so i'm going to tell her how unhappy i am about not having a scan or the possible one week wait and see what she has to say.
I just have a feeling that this is the end of my pregnancy, did you feel like this?
It is the worst feeling ever and i'm so sorry you are going through it.
Take it easy, xxxx
I didn't see any point in this so i said no.
a week is a long time, after hearing your responses i'm deffo going to complain about the length of time i have to wait for a scan.
I'm annoyed she didn't ring me back with my blood results like she said she would too. I'm sure it doesn't take 3 hours for a clerk to walk to a&e and back to get my notes.
