Missed Miscarriage
Hi all
Sadly yesterday I found out my baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks,I should have been around 8. I has some light brown bleeding on Tuesday evening,called midwife who told me not to worry.Luckily I trusted my instincts and went for a scan.
I am devasted,still don't know how to feel.I am angry at myself I can't even do the one thing a woman is supposed to do.
I have decided to let the miscarriage happen naturally and I have had abit more bleeding.I have to go back for a scan 28th Oct to make sure there is nothing left.Dh being great and have a good support system of friends and family around me.
Was supposed to be going on my twin sisters hen weekend to Bournemouth but not going as worried if anything happens while I am there and just think emotionally its to soon for drinking etc.
I don't really know what else to write but just wanted to write something.Any advice gratefully appericated.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I mc 4 weeks ago and I did it naturally aswell (I was 10 weeks gone but baby stopped growing at 7 weeks). I stopped bleeding after around 7 days (wasnt really keeping track).
I am a PA in Central London, so have to get the tube into work. I had two weeks off work. To be honest I wasnt even ready to return after the two weeks and cried at my desk alot...but my work friends have been great! Especially my male boss!!
My hubby has been amazing, and in a way it has brought us even closer together.
I have been telling friends about my loss now, which feels ok but obviously I get very sad. I had to tell them bcos they kept asking me if I was pg yet....which is something I obvisouly do not want to hear!
I agree with you about going out - I only just went out last Saturday and even then I felt it was too soon.
You sound like you have a great hubby to support you so you will battle on, I promise you.
If you feel like chatting or even having a moan up.....come to us!!

Take your time.xx
I met up with my sister and friends for lunch before they headed to Bournemouth,I held it together very well as nobody else knows why I wasn't going.I also went and had a cuppa with another friend and me and DH went to see his mum.I really just wanted to get out of the house today,but now I feel like I have spent all day crying and just feel drained.
Going to relax on the sofa with DH tonight.
Thanks for all your support.xxx
I had a mmc at 10 wks (bubs passed at 7 wks). It was our first pregnancy and we were devastated. That all began 2 weeks ago. I went into work the day after our first scan and were told the news, and then I started to mc that day. It was awful being at work and I literally grabbed my things and ran out of the office crying and jumped in a cab to the hospital. I didnt go back to work for a week. Try and take time out if you can and I hope you're work is understanding. I work with all men and I didn't want anyone there to even know we were ttc, let alone that I was pregnant so it was a tough one to explain on my return. I just said I had to go into hospital for surgery and needed time to recover. They all (including my boss) respected my privacy and didnt ask any further questions, although I know a few of them suspect what happened. I didnt get a medical certificate as my gp said you can legally self-certify yourself for 5 days, though she gave me a letter anyway to say Id been to see her.
You will have down days but know that there are up days around the corner. We are all here to help you through this as we all truly understand what you are going through. x

Sending you lots of love this evening. Hope you are feeling ok after your surgery today. Try to rest up and not overdo it too soon (I found walking 50 metres up the road to the corner shop took it out of me the day after my op).
Let us know how you are.
