I am technically 9 weeks pregnant but the baby only measures 7.5 weeks with no heartbeat. Just found out this morning. First ever pregnancy, first ever miscarriage.
I had a scan at 6+0 showing no heartbeat and growth measuring at 5+1, so I felt pretty miserable over Christmas thinking that something had to be wrong, even though doctor had said that measuring a few days behind was normal. But it wasn’t normal at all.
Anyone else 9 weeks and having a miscarriage? Anyone else been here?
I have to start the drugs tomorrow afternoon to see if I can pass the miscarriage on my own. I’m really scared of how much it’s going to hurt and how unpleasant it’s going to be. I didn’t want it, but Doc says that even if it doesn’t work, the D&C is less risky if you do the drugs first. I don’t know what to expect. Terrified.
And then, the idea of it all still going on while I’m at work on Monday is freaking me out. On the other hand, the idea of trying to fudge a day off for a D&C is also worrying. I don’t think I can make something up for my boss without crying.
I don’t know. I just feel like this was my nightmare and now it’s come true.
