Missed misscarriage

Hi all! We just found out there’s no heartbeat at week 14 and baby stopped developed on week 13… anyone here in the UK that had gone through the missed miscarriage process that can give me some light on how long it took for the hospital to contact you and being offered a surgical management option? Just want to get over with it soon as I was sure already for a couple of week something was wrong because baby was smaller than should (I should’ve been 15 weeks today not 14 as the growing scan showed and had low Papp-a) and my body was telling me is something wrong but haven’t had any symptoms other than light tan discharge the last week, I just don’t want this to be prolonged for weeks carrying the baby inside me 😔

I found out in november and picked medical management and went in 2 days later for it but then I had to have a d&c as it didn't work xx

Mine was slightly different as hadn't got to the 12 week scan , as I only had private ones. My hospital wanted 2 scans 7 days apart for confirmation. So they booked me for the week after.

Very sorry for your loss 💔. There was no heartbeat at my first pregnancy’s 12 week scan on the Friday, straight after the scan they booked me in for surgical management on the Monday morning. I chose the local anaesthetic option (MVA). If you are opting for surgical or medical management then it should be a quick process x

Once confirmed , i was booked for the week after, as there were no available slots earlier than that

I had a scan and picked surgical management as I didn't want to see anything come out of me. I went into hospital on the Thursday with severe stomach ache and had the removal on the Monday. X

Thank you all for sharing your story with me I’m really sorry we all have or had gone through this… I will definitely chose surgical management as I don’t want to go through the trauma of bleeding out and seeing anything coming out of me either… they just booked me in for NHS scan confirmation on Thursday as the scan I did yesterday was private… I hope they don’t drag it any longer after the Easter break as I just want to get done with it xx

Definalty the right choice for me . I started having brown discharge Monday. Private scan on Wednesday and started bleeding Friday but unfortunately hemorrhaged and eneded up in a+e that evening. Didn't stop until I practically begged them for surgery which they did as an emergency on Sunday as I lost so much blood. After that it was like a slightly heavier period with little cramping

@Veronica Vidal good choice. They will do everything under ultrasound, so there won’t be any tissue left and the recovery is straightforward. You won’t feel any pain or discomfort, once you wake up from anaesthesia. Many women go through this, unfortunately not many speak about it. Wish you a very quick mental and physical recovery 🙏

Went for a private scan last Thursday where baby measured 6 weeks but should of been 9 weeks and no heartbeat. The place I went for a scan contacted the early pregnancy unit directly for me. They called me the next day and got me in for a scan to confirm (NHS will always do this as they cant take private scans as fact) Then because my hospital only does surgery's Monday and Fridays and as it was bank holiday etc I'm booked in for my surgery tomorrow morning. So sorry you are going through this ❤️ This is my second miscarriage. The first happened naturally at home and was honestly so traumatic for me! The physical pain but the emotional pain was horrible. So this time round going for surgery was a no brainer! Especially as I have a toddler now so having to go through that with him would of been impossible. Sending you lots of love and understanding. So glad more and more people are sharing their stories about miscarriage. I hope it makes you feel less alone ❤️

@Hollie im so sorry for your loss! It is horrible, got my hospital appointment today and they scan to confirm… unfortunately my baby is passed the 12 weeks at 13+6 and they have recommended medical intervention at hospital as with the size of the sac there’s a bigger chance of damaging my uterus so, I’m preparing mentally, physically and emotionally for what’s to come but it comforts me that I can be in a hospital bed until is over with help, support, an IV and a place were if anything goes bad they can provide support… I know is going to be hard but want to keep trying soon so, I have to be strong and think this is the best chance for my future one… Completely agree with you, I want to be vocal and share my story as much as I can because we are not alone, there’s so many of us that have gone or are going through it that we need to stick together and support each other xx I wish your surgery goes well and you can recover quickly ♥️ sending loads of love and healing your way too xx
