Thoughts?

I’m 7+2 and for the last few days experiencing severe cramps and stomach pains. I’m a teacher and had to leave my class today as I was getting a really bad cramp along with sweating and faintness. Doctors just told me to take paracetamol. Can’t self refer to EPU- gp referral only. Should I wait it out?

Keep on your gp. I'm a teacher and I've been signed off with sickness xx

Is there a reason you can’t self-refer? I had this around 4.5 weeks, woke in the night & almost passed out from pain it was so bad. I called EPU in the night & was booked for a scan a few days later. As it was so early they could only see the sac but I’ve since been for 7 week follow up scan and everything is fine 🥰 Hopefully that gives some reassurance! I haven’t had as many cramps since & definitely nowhere near as bad & also no bleeding which was reassuring too! I’ve found lemon in hot water has helped so try and have 1/2 a day, stay hydrated and eat smaller meals more often xx

Thanks so much for your comments, this ended up being an ectopic pregnancy, had to spend hours in a&e, because I wasn’t bleeding nobody believed there was anything wrong, feeling distraught xx

I’m so so sorry 🤍 sending you lots of love and healing xxxx
