Hi I am new here but have just had a missed MC. I only found out at 16 weeks (my first scan). I has lost the baby around 12/13 weeks but my body was still thinking i was pregnant. I opted for a d&c which was performed yesterday. Afterwards the nurse who was present during the procedure said I has a SC and this caused the cervix to open and cause the miscarriage. However when I spoke with the consultant performing the surgery he said although I had a SC my cervix was still closed (hence the missed miscarriage) and it was likely to be caused by chromosome abnormalities. I am now confused why I was told 2 different things??
Also this was my first pregnancy and I am so scared to try again if my SC means I can miscarry. i have tried to search the web for more information and I have found lots regarding incompetent cervix - is this the same thing? Sorry for all the questions but I meet with my consultant in a couple of weeks and I want to understand - has anyone got any positive SC stories where they carried a baby full term?
