Has anyone out there had medical management after a mmc? **UPDATE 02/05/14**

[Dotty_woman]

You poor thing. It really is an awful process but hope you are glad that it started naturally. It's good that it sounds like it's easing off a bit. Tmi warning ** I must admit after the medical management the amount of blood coming away was quite scary. It seemed more noticeable if I went to the loo and the large pieces of tissue that came away felt awful as they blobbed out. The sac was different to the rest of the material that came away and was definitely identifiable. Hope you are ok. xxx

I suspect that's what the huge clots were-amounts of tissue cause it looked like wet paper im not too sure if ive passed the sac or foetus how do you know when ur passing that?

 

[wifeywifey]

How you ferling now hun?

 

[millielaura]

[yummymummy80]

[wifeywifey]

Im glad you are better. It will get easier x

 

[millielaura]

Glad the bleedings not as heavy for you how are you feeling xx

 

[yummymummy80]

im fine now theres no more huge clots an its not running out like water now its kinda like a heavy period now but im still gonna phone epu tomorrow and see what they say

 

[millielaura]

Yeah good idea xxx

 

[millielaura]

Glad your feeling better xx

Glad you're feeling better. I only knew I'd passed the sac as (and sorry for tmi again) I examined what ended up in the loo just so I knew when it had finally passed. Ringing EPU sounds like a good idea. They may want you back in if you are not sure you have passed the sac. I had another big bleed about a week after the main bleed had tailed off so just be aware that it might not be the end of it just yet. Thinking of you. xxx

 

[yummymummy80]

im going back to the epu today so will see what they say fx

Big hugs hun. I've not been on much recently since my last MC but you have been in my thoughts and i just wanted to give you a big hug and i hope next time ges more somoothly i know i had two back to back MC's but I'm told that only about 4% have 2 back to back. I wish you the best of luck hun

 

[yummymummy80]

Well im back from the hospital and its not good news

after sat night I went to the epu, well I was going there anyway as I should of had medical management this week and this was meant to be stage1. So anyway when I got there I told the nurse about the weekend so she said she would scan me again to see if I had passed everything, I was really hoping so as I didn't want any medical intervention, however when she scanned me the foetus was still there and nothing had passed meaning im still gonna have to face medical intervention im absolutely devastated and cant stop crying

 

[millielaura]

Oh no hun, after all of that. I'm so sorry to hear that! you poor thing! Big hugs to you and hubby. When do you have to start that? xxxxx

 

[yummymummy80]

hi millie I had to take 1 pill today then I have to go back on thurs and am kept in for the day, im devastated and she told me the remains get sent to a crematorium im devastated when she told me that I just started howling

I know this really horrible for you, it is a traumatic experience for you and your hubby, I think you should ask your GP for a counseling session as it may be help to talk it through with someone outside of your family. However it is very important that you also look after your own physical health, you do not want to get an infection and as you have passed quite a bit of blood your cervix may be open. Please trust that your hospital knows what they are doing, they need to make sure that you are ok for future pregnancies and that you don't get ill. I know it's hard to believe but your grief will get easier as time passes, I hope that when this part is over you will be begin look forward. Take care xx

 

[SharonP]

I'm so sorry. Look after yourself hun.

 

[millielaura]

Clementine is right, they know what they're doing and will need to make sure your body is at the best it can for future pregnancies
The crematorium bit got me too, there was one nurse who kept asking whether I'd want my own funeral or was okay having the cremation they normally do. I didn't even want to think about it so didn't answer her for ages, ended up just opting for the cremation they did in their courtyard as don't think I could of bared the thought of having it done especially for me with me there, just wanted to move on and not have to think about it anymore than I had to so decided that would be easier for me. Not sure which one you'd prefer and might be worth discussing with them? Have they been nice with you?
Also it does get easier as time goes on I promise, I agree seeing a counsellor may be a good idea, I did briefly and it did help!

Big hugs hun
