Hi
Today I had an early scan privately and there was no heartbeat - the baby had died a couple of days ago. As its Saturday I can't contact anyone medical until Monday and it's horrible to have to wait and see what they will say then.
I have to go to the gp on Monday to be referred to the epu, but I don't know what's going to happen next. The thought of waiting for another 7-10 days to see if my much wanted pregnancy passes at home is killing me, and the idea that I would catch the foetus in a pad or the toilet and throw it away or flush it makes me feel sick. Really I want the hospital to remove it so it's over with, but how about if they don't have that as an option? And what do I do about work? I'm a teacher and can't take tons of time off, but I can't go to work and have a miscarriage in the middle of a lesson can I? I don't know what to do, I never even contemplated the fact that this pregnancy would end badly, it's come as such a horrendous heartbreaking shock.
I know there's excellent advice on this board, and have been reading the advice thread, but it makes me veer between panic and reassurance!
