I have just arrived home after a missed miscarriage at nearly 15 weeks. I feel terrible as it was unexpected.
To cut a long story short, I had a 9 week scan in a hospital and was told I miscarried, but I actually had not, after having second opinion at another hospital. Then at 12 weeks second scan went well so decided to visit family and tell them good news. After telling them, I had another scan at nearly 15 weeks, this time at my local doctors and was refered immediately that day, to the hospital, who told me that there was no heart beat. I was then booked to come in the next morning for induction at the main hospital.
They had planned for me to be induced and then be sent for an epidural, but I was lucky as unexpectedly to them I began to bleed heavily and then just as going to toilet in bed pan (sorry if too much information)I managed to loose the baby naturally. I was sent for a scan and then an emergency operation to be cleaned. It was so fast they could not wait for my husband to get back to the hospital in time to see me before theatre. All went to plan and I was discharged yesterday with very little bleeding or pain.
They have told me that I have to wait for two to three months before ttc again.
I am so scared. I worry that this will all happen again and I won't manage to go full term again. I don't want to have to keep waiting for each montly appointment to be told any bad news. To be told twice in one pregnancy (9 and 15 weeks) and one of them was a mistake is too much to go through again.
DH and I are not sure what to do, how long to wait or if to ttc again. I read that others conceive within weeks of MC and others wait months. Does anyone have any views.
Sorry for such a long message, but I had so much to say. And feeling so low does not help. I just wanted to get it out.
