Thought I would share my experience 
So I have a gorgeous 9 month old son who is such a blessing, I know that even more now!
A week ago I was 8 weeks pregnant wiv our 'planned' 2nd baby. I knew absolutely nothing about a 'Missed Miscarrage' had never even heard of one until I started visiting this forum again and it seemed so many people were having this!! I started worrying and the same night I had a few spots of blood in my underwear... I would have thought nothing of this bcoz I had this wiv my previous pregnancy and all was fine! But I thought I would go hospital and get checked out.
After waiting at hospital for 4 hrs but feeling completely healthy I was taken for an internal scan. They had this stick like thing that they put a condom on and lube and put it inside me. The Dr was taking ages having a search around and told me not 2 worry that his taking so long he just wants to be sure (I thought he meant sure everything was fine) He then turned to me with the words I will never 4get "Im sorry but its bad news" Our babies heart had stopped beating at 7 weeks, with that I burst into tears, went home and didnt stop crying.
The next day I had 2 go 2 hospital again for an ultrasound for them to confirm the death. I went with hope and couldnt stop praying that they had got it all wrong. Unfortunately they were right!
I was then given 3 options... natural removal, medical removal or surgical removal. I choose to give natural a weeks try 2 see if my body would reject the "products" itself but nothing so I opted for surgical. I have NEVER been put 2 sleep or had any operations at all, so I was terrified! I mainly choose this because I heard it was quick, I wouldnt have 2 stay overnight in hospital and my womb would have a complete clear out ready for my next pregnancy.
So today was the day of my operation. I spent all morning in tears of worry. It sounds stupid but I couldnt help thinking my luck has been so bad that it will get worse and I will die! (funny wen I think of it now)
I arrived at hospital and typically got sent to the wrong ward where I waited 2hrs b4 being told I was in the wrong place! I then eventually got taken to the correct bed 2 find they had misplaced my consent forms and notes!! I had a nurse try taking some blood but she didnt suceed the 1st time & refused to try again so I had 2 go wait at the phlobotamist area for bloods 2 b taken and then go back 2 my bed.
After 1hr of being in my bed I had 2 put a hospital gown on (wow they r sexy! NOT) I had a tablet inserted into my vagina, didnt hurt at all! I then gone wheeled down to theatre. Honestly I have never been so scared!! I kept crying saying havnt I been thru enough finding out my baby is dead now this!! The theatre room looked exactly like how u see on TV the big UFO shape lights above ur head! There was about 8 Drs in the room all just 4 this procedure which scared me even more. A needle was put in my hand for the drip... didnt hurt just felt like a blood test. They then gave me general anesthetic thru the same needle in my hand, so I didnt feel this happening as the needle was already in. They then placed a mask over my mouth and that was it!! Gone!
I woke up in a completely different room wiv 2 nurses by my side waiting 4 me 2 wake. I didnt even believe them wen they said it had be done! I felt no different wat so ever! No pain!! No cramps!! They took me back on the ward, I had a sandwich & a coffee then got sent home all within the hr!! (I went in theatre at 1pm home by 2.30pm) im having no pain still and only a little bleeding not even like my usual period!!
So 2 finish off .... I am the biggest wimp & worrier but this preocedure will definately b picked if I needed it again (hopefully not) I can assure u, easier said then done... dont b scared if u need it!! The procedure takes 5 minutes in the theatre & its so common they r WELL experienced!
