Confused!

So this week has been full of drama (hence the late update). 

To go through it step by step, problems started on Monday 22nd July 2013 I went for dinner with a friend to an all you can eat buffet, afterwards I got really bloated to the point it hurt, so I went home and rested, the next morning . . . 

WARNING - about to get T.M.I. 

. . . I woke up and went to the toilet to realize I had been bleeding in the night and I got terrified! Not only was there blood but there was clots, about the size of a 50 pence piece and the blood was a deep reddish-brown colour. Being only 6-7 weeks, I realize that the chance of miscarriage is high!!

Straight away, I rang the hospital to see what I should do, since I hadn't had a scan/meeting at the hospital yet, I was told to go to my GP and be referred to the hospital for them to be able to see me.

When I got to the doctors at 11am after ringing and being told to come in asap for an emergency appointment, I then sat for 20 mins while the doctor was in his room. Eventually, with T, my mum and I all sat in silence, terrified to hell, we went in to see the doctor.

I explained what the woman said on the phone at the hospital and he took down my name and sent someone to write a letter for me to take to the hospital. Another 25 mins went by and we were getting very edgy now, the guy came out with the letter and told me I had an appointment to go to the hospital, the next day at 3pm. I just broke down in tears, I had no idea what was going on, nothing from the doctor of what it could be, no reassurance what-so-ever! This is where my mum demanded that we get some explanation of anything (my mum can be pretty tough). Another doctor (the female one) then look us to another room and spoke to us although I must say that I wasn't really paying attention through the tears and all kinds of thoughts that were playing through my head! I was told not to worry and that I should go home and take it easy until I had to go to the hospital. 

For the rest of the day, I lay in bed, watching films and eating junk!

The next day was very nerve racking! I had butterflies in my stomach the whole morning. When we got to the hospital, the women we lovely, so calming and reassuring which is all I really wanted at that moment.

Me and T went in for the scan and I just lay there waiting for any news, good or bad while holding tightly onto his hand. The nurse then turned the screen to show the gestational sack with the yolk sack inside. She revealed that the baby is just too tiny to see since I am probably only 4-5 weeks pregnant meaning that I am currently 5-6 weeks gone. 

I am booked in next week for another scan and hopefully we will get to see something! I then have two more scans this month just to keep checking which I thought was crazy!
