[Simoneh00]

Hey, Sorry to hear your news. I had a scan when i would have been 10+4 and baby had died at 7+3 but i didnt start bleeding until i would have been 12 so it was around 5weeks after baby died :/ it was an awful wait, have you decided to mc naturally?xxx

Hi Simone. My second one died measuring 9 weeks but apparently they shrink (that sounds harsh, I don't know how else to describe it, I remember being quite offended when I was told) so it was actually 10 weeks. So for me, a week and a half x
I don't know about the first time honestly as I didn't have a scan but the doctors said I may have a prob with progesterone when the switch to placenta happens, at approximately 10 weeks, so it may or may not have been the same.
Everyone is different. You've been on my mind, I hope you're ok. You really don't deserve this xxxx

I opted for natural and it was 3-4 weeks before the bleeding stopped, I had quite heavy bleeding with clots and stuff but the pain subsided in the early days. I personally found it hard to pick myself up while the bleeding was still happening. My sisters second miscarraige was jyst lije a period, 5-6 days regular bleeding. Thinking of you x

20 days from spotting to actual m/c happening hun.

I didn't spot all the time either.

See I haven't had a single spec if blood. Loads of increased cm but nothing even remotely pink. I'm worried that I will need some medical assistance. None of the medicalised options sound like anything I wanna do xx

Oddly nothing medical was every discussed with me. I just kept having to go back and have a scan?

I was very niave though, I didn't know anything about pregnancy or miscarriage and I didn't use Google (in-fact I wasn't even a member here)

The worst thing for me was the waiting. Also the not knowing what would happen when it did happen. Would it be a huge gush? Would I be in pain?

I carried on as normal though, I went to work (apart from my appointments I didn't take any time off ) and I think that helped me cope.

When I did miscarry it was a few hours of pain, like early labour actually. I was at home, I was comfy and for that I am grateful.

It's hard to know until you have your scan hun? I'd say the actual process of having it happen naturally was as good as a miscarriage can get. The waiting and worrying and fear of the unknown was shit

Hiya
With both of mine I didn't know until the blood came. The saving grace was that I got what I consider to be a "warning shot" like maybe 12 hours before the miscarriage happened. It was blood when I wiped. Then nothing. Then as I say, after 12 hours it started for real.
It is painful, but not really badly. Your body sort of takes over.
Hope you're ok Simone xx

during my 7 week miscarriage my baby was still alive, i was bleeding bright red and the scan showed a baby with heartbeat, but lots of bleeding and and clot around the sac - I went home and the next day the baby passed out of me - immediately recognised it. And i was scanned again and confirmed sac still there but baby gone - the sac passed the next morning. I only had cramps when I needed to pass clots etc - and this only lasted 2 days - then bled for further 3 days.

during my 10 week mc I started with brown spotting, gradually getting red - 3 days later I was soaking thick pads in just over an hour and passing large clots....with contraction type pains. Scan the following day confirmed uterus empty - i continued to bleed for another 3-4 days then brown spotting for a futher 5-6 days. My hcg levels were checked hours after passing everything and they were at a level they should have been for a 5-6 week pregnancy - so looked like baby hadn't developed much past that.....but that I will never know.

i hope you get some answers at your scan on Wednesday.........

Simone i had opted for d&c , the tablet option seemed wrong to me at the time. Mine was sized st 9 weeks but like someone else on here they ssid each week past point of death , baby can shrink back week, sorry i knows it not very nice yo tskk about. I was 11 plus 5 when i mc, the night before op booked , so a few weeks after baby died.

I flooded, no warning, but as booked in for op i had gone and stocked up on huge pantyliners (thank god) and a dressing gown and had packed a small bag for d&c , so pleased i did as hubby just grabbed it when my mum took me to a& e


Hoping the scan goes smoothly and well tomorow hun, will be thinking of you xxx
