I to feel your pain. Monday just gone, me and my partner were skipping into our 12 week dating scan to see our baby, after seeing the heartbeat at 7 weeks we weren't expecting what happened. The baby had passed away at 8 weeks, so I had been carrying it for a while and my body wasn't realising it.
We were given loads of information and sent home to come back the next day to speak to a doctor. We chose The surgical (MAV) with local anestestic as I've had the medical way before and found it so traumatic at home. It was arranged for yesterday, I had to take 4 anti-bitotics Wednesday evening, then Thursday morning had to take two micro something and pain killers at 7am. The bleeding had started Wednesday night when I was asleep, and got heavier in the morning. My waters actually went and I saw them come out when I was sat on the toilet and I was stuck sitting on the toilet until I had to leave to go into hospital for the MAV. Then the worst experience of my life happened.
( Please be prepared for TMI and detail. )
When we got to the hospital about a 45 min drive, I walked into Maternity reception to just feel all warm all down my legs and bottom half, and a massive gushy feeling. I waddled to the toilet and everything just came out in one. I am talking the sac and baby. There was so much blood, I just started crying and screaming for my boyfriend who has been SO supportive, and a nurse came in. I was in a bad way and I think a lot of shock. The nurse was so nice and helped clean me up and took me into her office to find where I was to go etc. Then they done an ultra scan to check if it's all gone or I needed help. My womb had totally emptied its self and they said had done a good job. But there was lots of clots of blood stuck just above my uterus - I think - so I had to have a bit of help as they didn't want me passing this on the way home. I just lied on the bed and they inserted a septum thing to open my lower half and just helped clots and blood out. My boyfriend said a lot of blood came out. Then I had to stay and be monitored for around 40 mins and was allowed to go home and rest up, I got signed off work for a week, they did say two weeks but I want to get back to normal asap. I have had a pretty crap ride with it all, but I just want you to see my story and how everyone is different.
Also I am only 24 and my boyfriend is 29. Neither of us smoke or drink and both use the gym regularly and we had a missed miscarriage. :( sadly life sucks sometimes!
More than happy if anyone wants to PM and talk more. Xx
