The real stain started about 5 days ago. Before that there was sticky stringy discharge that gradually turned from clear to white-ish to greyish to greenish to yellowish to brownish tint. Then i started to stain dark brown stain. First it was a little and then it became a lot more resembling period stains at the end of a period cycle. By then panty liner is a must.
On 2nd June went to our normal family clinic for a check. The good dr did a vaginal check and confirmed the brown stain and suggested a scan. During scanning sac was detected but it was empty. Mind you when i did the scan at 7 weeks embryo was present and hearbeat was seen. Now at 11 weeks it was an empty sac. The dr mentioned about the possibility of a delayed miscarriage and set an appointment for a repeat scan another 2 weeks just to be sure. If its confirmed an empty sac then a referral to the hospita would be needed for womb cleaning i suppose.
Thereafter the brownish stain became heavier and redder and a more frequent change of panty liner was required. I don't have the normal pads you see, only tampons and i was unsure if it was safe to insert anything down yonder at this point of time, hence the help of panty lines Yesterday 3rd June it was no longer a stain but it was more to bleeding. Brown blood. According to dr google brown blood is old blood and can sometimes mean nothing but just a way for the body to discharge old blood in the womb. However, despite what dr google had said, by the time i was queuing to check into a hotel (it has been paid for last week when things were still relatively normal) i was bleeding so heavily that even my panties were soaked wet. Last nite while walking around the local nite market after dinner i feel pressure inside down underneath. That feeling is normally felt when i am at my heaviest peak of my period cycle. Went back to hotel and another change of panties were necessary. By this time i am having panties crisis.
At 4.30 this morning i woke up when i felt some stomach discomfort and something came out. Since i was only wearing panty liner and the bedsheet is white, an emergency trip to the toilet a few steps away from the bed was required. While sitting on the toilet bowl i felt a few more something came out of me. Couldn't really see what it was coz the water in the bowl was quite red. While washing away, a few more dark red blot clots came out. Blood was still coming out and i decided to squat on the floor. And a mother of clot came out but this time (terkejut mak kejap) there was white-ish substance. I think it was the sac and unofficially i have miscarried. More blood clots came out while i was wondering what to do next. The stomach cramps are now becoming more uncomfortable. Just like when i am at the peak of my period.
What's a girl gotta do when there are more blood than panty liners? Diapers came to the rescue of course. Thank god for diapers. A life saver. Meanwhile i have kept the sac. When cleaned of blood it does look like a collapsed sac. White-ish in colour. Just like what the dr described.
And now while having mild to moderate stomach pains and feeling blood clots still coming out of me, i am wondering what to do next. Go to the hospital for a check up? Or just let nature takes it course since the sac is already out. And furhermore, we are on a holiday even if only for a short while but still a holiday. Hospital is just across the road from the hotel where we are staying. Should i go or should i wait until next Monday and let the kids enjoy the weekend first?
What to do? How long to wait? How long is a normal bleed from miscarrige? Is this considered as nifas blood? Can i fast? Do i need to pantang? If yes when should i start? And for how long?
Questions, questions and more questions.
Still don't know what to do next...
