5 weeks pregnant - possible miscarriage?
Hi folks, I have just signed up. I’m 30 and last week found out I was pregnant with my first baby on the Friday. By the Saturday night I had terrible cramps and got out of bed to take 2x paracetamol. On the Tuesday I had dark brown spotting, almost stringy. But today I’ve had really sore cramps again and almost like period bleeding (maybe not as heavy as my normal and is slightly stretchy looking if that makes sense). I’m convinced I’ve had a miscarriage which is devastating. I phoned the epu but they said it was a “wait and see” scenario and too early for a scan. I was wondering what my next move was? Do I contact my gp? Do I take another clear blue test? I have seen some threads with women experiencing this and have had scans that have showed the baby is fine but i don’t want to get my hopes up. Melody.

I was in a similar position last month, it unfortunately ended up being a chemical pregnancy. I had a scan, I would have been 5 weeks and something bit there isn't really anything to see yet. So the only thing you can do is take a pregnancy test every other day to see if it's still positive. If the line gets darker you know you didn't have a chemical and your pregnancy continues. Fingers crossed for you xx
