Miscarried 2.5 weeks ago.. no bleeding

My miscarriage was confirmed last week via a private scan. The baby was measuring 8w 3 d so it happened between christmas and new year. I've had no bleeding at all but my stomach has definitely shrunk. I have an appointment tomorrow with the EPU at my hospital. What should I expect? Are they likely to give me pills?

This happened with me, but I was 13 weeks, and my body obviously didn't know i was miscarrying. You're only 8 weeks, so they will ask if you want the pills to pass it yourself, or you might be able to have surgical. I'm sorry for your loss, and i hope everything goes well!Xx

They will usually offer pills, schedule in surgery or give you the option of waiting. As a policy they won’t factor in the private scan so there is a chance they will scan you and then want to re-scan you in 14 days to see if there is a change. Hopefully given the size they won’t need to do this though. You may like to read up on the options in advance so you can give them your decision then and there. I’ve had surgery and medical management several times if you have questions x

They will give you 3 options - to wait and see if your body does things naturally, medical managment which is the pills you’re talking about & then surgical management. I had the exact same issue where my body did not start anything naturally. With my first M/C I tried all 3 options.. I swore blind after that, that if that was to ever again happen I would opt for surgery straight away. The waiting was horrific, and even after I started to “bleed” it wasn’t enough to “clear” everything, then I had the pills and that was the worst experience of my entire life, I bled horrifically & the pain was the worst I’ve ever experience and I still ended up needing the surgery. For me personally I will always choose the surgery but everyone’s experience will be different and you need to do what you feel is right for you and your body. (Comment 1 of 2)

Now I’ve said that bit I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. No one can understand how you’re feeling. Please allow yourself as much time as you see fit to get through this. Grief is the strangest thing I’ve ever personally experienced. There is no right or wrong way to feel. You’ve got this 🩷 (comment 2 of 2)

As above, you’ll be given 3 options. I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I lost my first pregnancy in this way at around 7+2. I was petrified of surgery and adamant I didn’t want it but changed my mind at the last minute as I just wanted things to be quick. It was definitely the right option for me,and physically,was a really quick recovery. If you go either of the other routes you may end up needing surgery regardless, if it doesn’t all come away. And pain wise it’s very minimal compared with the other options so if it helps,that would be my recommendation x

Thank you everyone for your responses I really appreciate it xxx
