Firstly thank you for all you support! My original post asking if I should have a pregnancy test after suspecting I may be pregnant with a fifth child!
I did indeed do one that day as with most of you I'm not very good at waiting the test results were negative and I was told to wait a couple of days and have a blood test.
The night before the blood test I went to bed early tired and experiencing sharp back pains only to be woken in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain! The pain was so intense I was laying on the bathroom floor dry reaching! Managed to eventually crawl back into bed and get some sleep!
I woke the next morning with a very painful and bloated stomach thinking I must've eaten something bad! That was when the bleeding began unlike any period I have experienced bright red and heavy.
Turns out I was 4 weeks 3 days pregnant and miscarried.... I wanted to share because it made me wonder how many people experience this and just put it down to a late painful period!
We have now decided that right now is not a good time for us to start adding to the family (4 c sections in 6.5 yrs the last 3 in under 3.5 years)
Time to let my body heal and enjoy our four little ones and maybe revisit trying to have another sometime down the track!

I hope you're doing okay. I'd wondered about you and whether you'd gotten a positive result later. Much love x
