Over the past few days I have had light brownish discharge, fairly metallic smelling... yesterday I phoned my GP and they sent me for an early scan. I have also been having a pain in my left side. Today I went for my scan and they were unable to detect a heartbeat. I am pretty certain about my dates. They said that the baby was not the size they would expect for an 8 week old (which is how far gone I suspect I am) and they thought that either my dates were wrong or the foetus more than likely has stopped growing. Now I'm in limbo, they cannot formally tell me that I have miscarried until they give me another scan in a weeks time.... they are pretty certain that I will miscarry during this week. Realistically I know there is no hope... I just can't bear the thought of sitting around waiting to loose my baby... is there anything I can do? Is there any hope? Any help, advice or miracle stories would be greatly appreciated!! This is my first pregnancy. X
