Hi all,
We got our BFP a few weeks ago and were over the moon as it is our first pregnancy and I'm over 40!
We had a private scan on Saturday at 7.5 weeks with bad news unfortunately. Whilst everything else developed normally, the embryo is about two weeks off and didn't have a heart beat.
I'm booked for a second scan on Monday but EPU told me today that it is highly likely that this is a MMC.
She has given me loads of reading materials to take home as I wanted to inform myself of the options before the next scan...
I wanted to ask for your opinions on the options of
a) letting things pass naturally - how long will it take and how bad is it? and how tough is it to see the little bean come out and be discarded?
b) taking meds to support the natural process - I heard it only has a 50% success rate?
c) surgery either with local or general anaesthetics - I'm not a fan of general anaesthetics but worried about how much you feel and see with the local one
Whilst I think I can kind of come to terms with the loss I am really anxious about the next steps so any advice will be useful.
And are there any other ladies in my age group with similar experience??
Thank you! xx
