Sad loss

Options
Hi All,

i went for my 12wk Ultrasound yesterday - me and hubby were so excited and ready to post it to the world as soon as we got out!

The lady said the baby was lying really low and asked me to empty my bladder, when she had another look she said unfortunately there was no heartbeat, and given the size it seems the baby died at about 10weeks.

We are devasted! Hubby broke down in the room but i didn't even cry at the time, i felt like it was a dream, i just was not expecting that all!

Onwards and Upwards, it obviously wasn't meant to be and nature had taken its course. Better i suppose than something being terribly wronf and us having to make that decision.

I have to go and see my doctor tomorrow (Monday) to see what is next, i really don't like the sound of a natural miscarriage and i'm scared as to whats next.

Has anyone else gone through the same and can share their experience?

I wish you all the best of luck in your pregnancies! Fingers crossed may they be happy and healthy ones!
Hopefully i will be back in a different baby group in the coming future! xxx

    I am incredibly sorry :(

    As per, someone else that has gone through it and can share experience -
    I dont know that yours will follow the same course as mine did. I truly hope that you are able to miscarry naturally and dont require medical assistance.

    I miscarried 7 years ago! I had just left my exhusband when I had discovered I was pregnant. I was not excited about it at all. I had a small child and was a single mother and had no desire to go back to the ex.
    I prayed, just asking for strength and a little help pointing me in the right direction for work/stability/home. About 2 weeks later, I began bleeding. I went to an obgyn right away and was told I was miscarrying and that the baby hadn't lived long at all. I just continued to bleed and it was just like an extremely bad period.

    I was sad, but felt that maybe God honestly knew it was not the right thing for my life at that time. I felt a little emotional hurt, but I accepted it. I think He knew best.

    Thanks everyone for all your kind words, i was booked in for a d&c this morning and all done now

    The baby was over 10wks so going natural would be long, drawnout and painful

    The docs have said i will actually be more fertile now as everything is all cleaned out once i start trying again, was put to sleep and didn't feel a thing (though waking up was very painful, bleeding for about 2 hours but its stopping already)

    Still very sad but at least i have closure now and can move on, the docs said 1 in 3 pregnancies end in miscarraige, such a high % but you just don't hear of them

    Also a plus to being in the hospital everything can be assessed to see if this is a problem with me/the baby/something that could happen again etc - or just one of those things

    Looking forward to the fun of trying again though in a few months ;) xxx

    Hi there and so sorry. I know how you feel, I had two missed miscarriages in the past 2 years. In both cases, I opted for the D&C procedure immediately. It was both emptionally an physically better for me. xoxo, Melitta
