I’ve been pretty sure I was pregnant for a couple of weeks now (extreme nausea, lower backache, stretching sensations etc) but I was waiting until next week to take a test because I didn’t want a false negative due to taking it too early.

This morning I’ve woken up and I’m in absolute agony, the cramps in my stomach are so bad I can barely stand and I’ve bled through 3 heavy duty pads in the space of a few hours (I don’t normally have heavy or painful periods so this isn’t usual).

I think I might be experiencing an early miscarriage? Could people please tell me their experiences if they’ve miscarried at maybe 4-5 weeks?

I’m also emotionally conflicted because this wasn’t planned to begin with but when I realised I was bleeding I just got this awful sinking feeling and all I want to do is cry. And now I feel guilty for feeling sad because I’m not even sure I would’ve made the call to keep it. And I haven’t told my partner any of this because I don’t want to worry him and I don’t know who else I can talk to, sorry for rambling!
