Missed miscarriage - advice needed, hospital have been crap

Last Sunday night (ie ten days ago) I started to bleed and to cut a long story short I've now had two scans to confirm that my pregnancy, which should have been 9 weeks by now, ended at around 6 weeks.

After waiting for over two hours in my EPU and getting sent out via the antenatal clinic where happy expectant mums clutching bounty packs jostle you for the lift (just cruel) I'm still none the wiser. I know I have three options - to wait for it to happen naturally, to have medical management or a D&C. I'd like to avoid medical intervention if possible (scared of complications basically - shouldn't have googled these) but have come home with nothing - no follow up appointments or advice on what to do, what will happen next or how to manage this. The registrar I saw couldn't recommend anything or talk about the risks, she literally knew nothing and referred me to a leaflet.

I'm pretty upset and just need some reassurance. If you had a MMC, what did you do? How did it work out for you? What would you advise?

Any help gratefully received... either way this is going to be a pretty crap christmas.

My SIL has had 12 scan on wed to discover no heartbeat.
This is her 2nd mc this year.
It's a dreadful time of year for this to happen. I just know there will be no ERPC before new year and I know this is her preferred option which she took last time, as I did.
I despair miscarriage care here.
Thinking of you all

Mayday- I'm sorry this has happened to your SIL so very close to Christmas. The hosp told me that if I needed ERPC I could be put on the CEPOD list (emergency theatre list) even over the holiday season so hopefully should she need this she won't have to wait so long.

Sprinkles- how're you feeling? I hope not too bad still..

I had the repeat scan today which showed all had come away. Was a huge relief and starting to feel we can put this behind us. Saw a lovely female consultant who said we can TTC as soon as we feel ready.

I'm desperate to be pregnant again so we're going for it ASAP!
