missed miscarriage...what happens next?

[blueamema]

Found out had missed miscarriage yesterday at dating scan! (14 wks) as no heartbeat was present and 'bump' was a little small. Thought I would feel okay/better today but am just felling confused and tearful?!? as doctor at hosp said to go home and wait to miscarry/ or have an appointment to go back in 2 wks if havent to discuss other methods??

Have been looking at some other threads and am now worrying that I dont have a clue whats going on!! and am feeling a little confused as to how they can let you go home with dead 'bump' in belly for 2 wks!!!

What is a D&C? and/or ERPC? what do they stand for??

Where can I get some information from about missed miscarriages??

And what happens if I miscarry naturally? Do I need to let the hosp know or just still go in 2 wks to be checked out?

Any advice would be muchly appreciated!

Hey guys!

I posted on this a few weeks ago when I had my missed miscarriage naturally. Got my first period this month and husband and I tried. It's been six days since ovulation (I tested) and today I've had the worst nausea. On off all day. Just like how it was when I was pregnant. Don't know what to do with this feeling? Part of me excited and getting hopes up... other part of me wishing I wasn't feeling this way because I don't want to deal with the disappointment when I get my period. Is it possible to get nausea this early? Could this be a positive sign?

So unsure of what to think/expect or how I feel about being pregnant again. I want to be very much so, but equally scared that I'll have another MC or that I'll get my period and be disappointed. Also dreading the three month slog until the scan when you feel like shit. People still asking me if I'm pregnant because of weight gain that has stubbornly just sat in my front stomach. I almost want to be pregnant but not know till like week 7/8 so that there is less stress/worry. Last time I knew from day of expected period and the worrying and waiting killed me and when MMC happened was gutted.

Just need some people who've been through this to help talk some sense in me!!! Want to be chilled out but finding it so hard!

Hi Bdunta I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. All the things your feeling are completely normal, ttc after a mmc is very hard. I'm sure being pregnant will be too (but I've yet to get to that stage). If you want to chat then you should come on over to the conception boards - there is a ttc after miscarriage thread and it's a lovely bunch of people all going through the same stuff. It's a brilliant place to vent and ask as many questions as you'd like.
