Yesterday DH and I went for what was supposed to be our routine dating scan, only to find there was no heartbeat. Words cannot describe how utterly devastated we are. We recently got married and would have been our first baby together, we do have beautiful children from out previous relationships but I feel so empty and lost.
I'm at a loss as to what happens next, the sonographer was lovely but once sent up the to GAU we were left in a room for 2 hours and had to search for someone to see us. A kind nurse explained only one doc on the ward and would be with us soon. The doc arrived talked a little about 'removing the products' with an emphasis on medical management, thrust leaflets at us and sent us home with an appointment to go back in 10 days if nature hasn't taken it's own course of events.
I was 10+3, although baby measured 8+3. I had no symptoms that anything was wrong, no bleeding or any pain. I still feel pregnant.
I finally plucked up the courage to read the leaflets, I'm horrified at what I am Expected to go through, that I will quite possibly see my baby, I'm not sure I can cope with that at all. The doc have me the impression that a surgical process wasn't the norm and I should go for the medical management. I just don't know what to do or To think.
Yesterday morning we were planning for our new family, today I am lost.
Thank you for reading, needed to get this out.
