I unfortunately suffered a miscarriage 2 months ago. I was only 7/8 weeks and it was extremely difficult to get seen by anyone! I contacted the early pregnancy clinic in the ulster who said to go to a&e. I attended a&e, and waited 6 hours to be seen, where I was told they could do nothing and to contact the early pregnancy clinic. It was after midnight at this stage so I waited until the morning and contacted early pregnancy clinic again, who said they could do nothing and if the bleeding was still heavy to go to a&e. I explained I had been in a&e the previous evening and they told me that early pregnancy would need to see me.
I was finally seen by early pregnancy clinic 3 days after I started bleeding, they scanned me and confirmed the miscarriage, this could have been a lot easier for me to manage had I been scanned the day my bleeding started. They caused me and my partner unnecessary pain and turmoil for 3 days when I could have been told sooner Instead of sitting with the false hope that there was a chance my pregnancy was still viable.
