I'm about to ask some really horrible questions about miscarriage so if you don't want to hear them, please leave the page now.
I don't wish to upset or offend anyone, but I'd rather ask here where I trust you ladies, than ask google which is full of scary rubbish most of the time!
As some of you already know, a week ago yesterday I found out at my 12 week scan that my baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks.
I have chosen to wait for my miscarriage to happen naturally and until this morning, nothing had happened. **TMI ALERT** This morning when I wiped, there was some brown blood on the tissue and when I wiped again there was pretty much nothing. I've been checking all day and there has been no more until just now when the same thing as this morning happened.
I have been feeling the odd twinge in my abdomen and back but this has been going on for months. Before I found out about this, I put it down to my uterus stretching.
So my question is: Is this likely to be the start of my miscarriage? Or could this just stop? What should I expect next? I know it's going to be painful and messy, but should I expect sudden pain or will it come gradually? Will bleeding start slowly like a period, or will it start really heavily from the beginning?
I haven't really given much thought to it and was just waiting for it to start so it can be over - and I wasn't even feeling that scared. But now, this brown blood has hit me like a train and I've just realised that this really is happening and it's probably happening really soon and I have no clue what to expect or what to do!
