Looking for advice
I’m 11w2d - yesterday started with intense lower back pain & cramping. I slept terribly all night long and woke up bleeding bright red. I’m usually hungry and nauseous in the mornings, but this morning I just woke up tired and hurting.
I haven’t had my first midwife appointment yet (I just moved to a new state and it is scheduled for next week), but I texted her to see what I should do and she hasn’t gotten back to me yet.
I called my CNM friend from back home and she told me to put on a pad and if it soaks through more than 2 per hour to go to the hospital. She said if it’s a miscarriage, they could confirm and give me pain medication. I don’t even know what hospital I would go to though since I’m new to the area. I also don’t take medications, but I’m not sure what I should do here. I would appreciate any advice/natural options.
