Just left the EPU and they confirmed that baby has died - they dated the baby at 5 weeks 5 days :( I should be nine weeks tomorrow
I'm going in for op tomorrow - which I'm scared about but I couldn't face the tablets after last time

Don't be scared. You poor poor thing. It's the worst feeling ever. So sorry for your terrible loss.

The ERPC is really the easiest bit in this horrible process. 'Moving on' is the most difficult part for me. Keep talking on here.

I'm so sorry. It is such an incredibly sad time. I hope you have lots of support and can take some time to hide away or do whatever you feel you need. I found this forum a huge comfort and hope it is the same for you. I'm so sorry again.

I'm so very, very sorry darling. I'm in a similar position and had an mmc confirmed on Monday and the ERPC yesterday. I've found talking on here helps a bit. Be kind to yourself, and know that you're not alone.

I saw your other thread Sammc, I'm so sorry to hear this and for the fact you had to endure that awful limbo.
I hope your ERPC goes smoothly, and keep posting here if it helps, there's always a virtual shoulder to lean on.
Take good care of yourself Thanks

Hi Sammc1878, I am so sorry to hear about your loss and hope today went ok and you're being kind to yourself and getting looked after well.
It's a really horrible time. I truly feel for you.
I had a mmc last week at 12 weeks, baby stopped developing at 8 weeks. It was a huge shock.
There was a week's wait for the ERPC so I opted for medical management with the pills, which was pretty traumatic.
But with each day that is passing is I'm slowly feeling more positive. And keep telling myself that I'm one day closer in my bumpy road journey to becoming a Mummy.
Lots of love, hugs, hot water bottles and chocolate. x

Thanks sizethree - I'm very sorry to hear of your loss too. I had the op yesterday and am at home now just resting a lot.
The medical management is pretty traumatic - I chose that for my second mmc and I found it so upsetting

I was lucky the hospital bent over backwards & fitted an op in so quickly which after the two torture we've been through not knowing if our baby was alive or not we felt more waiting would have been another kick
This board have been so good and I am grateful for everybody's support and words of advice/help
