Miscarriage experiences ?

Hi guys, this is our second little babe. 8 weeks pregnant. Was having cramps and basically woke up from a nap with tons of blood. Now it’s like a like a period.. no major clots yet..I was/am definitely pregnant full blown symptoms, multiple positive tests etc.. I’m trying to remain hopeful but have also noticed my boobs have stopped hurting...I’m nauseous, insane cramps..back hurting...can barely walk type thing. can anyone share their experience? I’m afraid to go to the hospital because I fear they will just say you aren’t bleeding enough, it’s not life threatening.. won’t do a scan etc.. because that’s just how they are.. it’s 1 day before Xmas eve.. I’m can’t get into doctor..please share your experiences

Sorry: horrible time for you. but you MUST take professional medical advice.

Bleeding that heavily at just 8 weeks is not a good sign. My experience was at 12 weeks, and nature took its course and naturally miscarried. That was in hospital under medical care, followed by a D&C (Dilation and curettage) and I was happily pregnant again in three months with a perfect and beautiful baby.

Its awful at the time, but about one in 4 pregnancies end this way - often the mother doesn't know - just think she's missed a period. Its usually because there is some deformation of the embryo, or because the womb and placenta are not properly functioning.
