Hi girl if you’re under 6 weeks they probably won’t do much. However, you can lose quite a lot of blood and it can be quite painful. I had to sit on the toilet for about 3 hours just dripping (I phoned 111 they said it’s normal). I’m sorry for your loss :( if you lose bigger clots than a golf ball I’d ring 111 though!

Well I don’t know how long I was as my last period was feb 1st and I tested positive in march 1st but then that went negative and didn’t bleed then I had a posit test about 6 weeks later and now I’ve just started bleeding yesterday and I’ve had 2 big clots in the last 2 days bigger than I’ve had before

I think it depends how much blood you’re losing. I passed multiple large clots in a short space of time and blood was also streaming out of me to the point that I fainted to I went to a&e. If you’re passing clots larger than your palm ring EPU and ask for advice

Well yesterday I went through about 6 night time pads and today is 3 so far it’s just hard as I don’t know as never had one. I feel sick on and off and keep getting cramps which I know cramps are normal

I’m going through my first loss as well at the moment. I was 8W pregnant. I have been supported by my local Early Pregnancy Unit at hospital. They gave me pain killers and also told me that they need to scan me after 2 weeks to make sure that the embryo is gone. If you haven’t spoken to any medical professionals please reach out to your nearest unit. If you can’t find it your GP should be able to help

I think the advice is if your filling more than 2 pads every hour then go to a&e. I would ring them and they will advise you how to progress. It sounds like the bleeding has slowed from yesterday so that’s a good thing. I’m sorry you’re going through this. It is so so horrible and unfair x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
