officially found out on 2.2 that i was pregnant, i say officially as i suspected for two weeks prior (this would have been DC 3)

on 6.2 had some light brown VM that worried me called local midwife and was advised to call again in the am....

called in am of 7.2 and was informed that i would see midwife in local gp that afternoon and that an early scan had been arranged for 10.2

on the 8.2 all had gone quiet on the VM scene and remained that way.

went to scan appointment on the 10.2.....

had external scan first and was advised that they wanted to do an internal scan. went to loo at midwifes request....wiped myself and had fresh blood.... :( :( :(.........told scan operators this....

had internal scan and this showed all the right things but no baby....was advised that could just be too early....getting dressed was filled with despair especially when cleaning my self up...had plastic internal cover semi in/out had to remove myself and was covered in blood :( :( :(

back upstairs in the EPU...had bloods taken for hormone level....had internal and swabs taken.....given future dates for either way scenarios....

went home......buried myself in duvet tried not to stress...hold on to glimmer of hope.....

went to loo later on...full scale bleeding and cramps and pain and despair...

had a call fropm midwife...was advised that my hormones were below 50...? ? ?

and should expect a bleed......DUH!!!!

hid at home until went to GP on 14.2....signed off for a week.....

ran away to bornemouth on 17.2.....

currently sat in caravan......fighting the saddness and Envy of those wonderful ladies on the due in october 12 threads......

words cannot justify how i feel......

Sumsey, I remember you from that thread, the one I've left two. I started to show signs of bleeding last weds, had internal scan thurs, sac was there but no heartbeat. I go back on 28th. Since then I've bled heavily, still am.

I feel awful, I ache, my heart is broken. I feel like I've let my DP down and I'm nothing but a disappointment. I do know that I'm being ridiculous and completely irrational.

This is my second mc, I bounced back quickly last time, this time not so.

It's so unfair on all of us who suffer this pain.

Love to you and yours xxx

So so sorry for your loss.
What you are going through is truly awful and you need to take the time to grieve properly. Holing up in a caravan sounds like a great idea.

I also had a mc just b4 christmas and i felt so lost emotionally for about a month, I did not believe I would ever get back to normal life. I am sure you never forget and it still makes me cry when i think about it but I does get easier.

Mumsnet is a great place to vent until you are ready to talk to everyone around you.
There are loads of lovely ladies here that will support you.

Xxx

Sumsey and Sassee, I remember you both from that thread too. I'm so sorry to hear your news.

I have just had a very similar experience to yours. It is so sad, isn't it.

thanks for your kind words....you are right about mums net it is a wonderful thing and i am so grateful of all the support i have received.

its terrible that this has happened to so many of us and your right it does take time to get over....i have mc before it was 8 years ago....and that still upsets me xx

feeling a bit back to reality today...holiday is over and we have only just arrived back home.....ive had a pamphlet from the hospital about mC and various support groups/numbers....

had to test again and advise EPU about outcome.....which was obviously a big fat negetive....

the whole business has been rather like ripping off the scab of a healing wound....

:( xxxx

i've read many of the stories on here and feel for all who have experienced such pain.
after discovering i was pregnant i experienced a loss. this has been my second on 10.2.12 and i have struggled considerably, i couldnt talk at first and did not desire any support from anyone..the numbness had well and truely taken over...this has gotten better and ive managed to talk and vent (and cry buckets).

i'm still very angry and dismayed by some peoples reaction to miscarriage...at one point i was asked how long i had known i was pregnant for....as if a miscarriage at 8 weeks would feel less painful than one at 12?....because i tell you it hasn't to me.....that people you have told in confidence..informing others at will...is acceptable?

as u can read...its still very raw
