How to cope? 5 weeks pregnant and heavy bleeding, and can't be scanned for another week
So last week I found I was pregnant. We were so happy. i would be just over 5 weeks This week
over the weekend I started cramping nothing to severe but I was a bit worried. Woke up yesterday and started bleeding. Went to the doctors who done a pregnancy test still positive so done an internal Examination and said the cervix was still closed so could be A threatened miscarriage. She phoned the epu but they said as I am only 5 weeks pregnant nothing would show on the scan so they gave me an appointment for next week.
Last night the bleeding got a bit heavier and I passed a few clots 2/3 the size of grapes. I phoned nhs24 for advice and they sent me to out of hours. They checked my urine and said there’s a high trace of protein meaning I have a UTI and basically just to wait the week out for the scan and if I get worse go back up.
I am going out of My mind. I am trying to rest. I am petrified every time I go to the toilet. I don’t know if I have miscarried or not As I have never had one ( deep down I probably know but don’t want it to happen) I cannot stop crying and I feel like I am making myself ill. I just do not know what to do.

Oh i'm so sorry you're going through this. The wait until that scan is horrendous. I've been through it myself, and remember going to A&E, and they couldn't give me an internal scan until 5 days later, so i was just in limbo. I didn't have crazy amount of bleeding, i just had brown spotting, but i did miscarry.
I know it's so stressful, and i know the bleeding is hugely worrying, but sometimes women bleed in pregnancy. I do hope you get good news next week x
