Hi just been diagnosed with mmc yesterday. The baby passed at 9 1/2 weeks and I have decided to have the surgical option as I cannot cope with the thought of passing it naturally, it's already given me nightmares of what I would find. Called the hospital and they said I go in today to get paperwork done, but they won't operate over the weekend! I'm beside myself now as I'm so scared it will start to happen over next 3 days. I have been having the brown discharge daily since tues and surely this will turn into blood etc anytime. Just wondered if anyone had mmc and decided to let it happen naturally once the brown spotting stated how long it took to miscarry. Sorry if its difficult to talk about again and no one wants to, I understand xx
Scared :-(

So sorry to hear what has happened - I can understand your fear.
I have had 2 miscarriages - first at 7 weeks, I saw this one with a heartbeat the day before I miscarried, but I had a bleed around the sac and was given 50/50 chance, i was already bleeding at that point. was 3 days from start of bleed to actually passing everything
With the second, I was 10w2d and started brown spotting, very light at first, couldn't get scanned as was a Friday and no appts and then weekend - so had a scan booked for the Monday - brown spotting continued, and went bright red on the Sunday - Sunday night I bled very heavily and passed clots - but having never seen the baby on a scan I don't know how much the baby developed, but know I didn't pass anything too big- sorry tmi and my hcg level suggested that the baby stopped developing at 5-6 weeks.
