Long story. I am about 5 weeks pregnant but started bleeding lightly yesterday morning. Nothing yesterday afternoon but a little more this morning.
Doctor had sent me to hospital for D&C last night but when i got there the doctor on duty could see the baby in a scan (which my doctor had not been able to do - hence the instruction for D&C) - and said that it was not 100% sure that it was a miscarriage.
However, he did say that it was much more likely to be a miscarriage than not, as he could see that the yolk sac was an irregular shape.
Today is Thursday. Tomorrow we have to fly to the UK (we live in Spain) for a wedding and are then travelling around the UK seeing relatives for 2 weeks. Can't change the travel plans as is important family wedding.
I think I can cope with this. This is my 3rd MC but I had a lovely healthy baby after the first 2 and can accept that what will be, will be.
But I need you lovely, wise MNers to help me. The first 2 MCs I had D&Cs. This time, I may well be in transit. Plus I can't face that wait again - that long, horrible wait wiht no food or water till they can do the op. So I think this time I will wait for it to happen naturally.
What do I need? Heavy pads, right? Painkillers? In what event would I need to go to hospital?
Thank you in advance.
