Miscarriage support

[EllieJayJay]

Hello ladies,

It's so very heartbreaking when a miscarriage happens. It happened to me

I was a part of the July 2016 babies and I loved every minute of it, talking about my symptoms and cravings and then without warning my life changed in ten hours.

without any reason with little warning my baby was taken away from me, my heart broke into a thousand pieces - I held my tiny baby in its tiny protective sac in my hand and my life was devastated everything stopped - everything that was going to be disappeared in a blink of an eye and my life took a 360, every emotion within me went black and dark and nothing felt good, or safe or happy.

Very few people I knew, knew I was pregnant and over the past few days I've felt very alone.

So I wanted to start a post for ladies to share their stories in the hope we can help each other x

Thanks NJ
I went to the EPU this morning and they were brilliant. I'm booked for an ERPC on Tuesday unless it happens naturally before then. They would have done it sooner but they are busy.
Hope you're recovering OK

Hi. Just wondered how long it took people to conceive after a miscarriage?

Hi Ladies,

This is my second mmc. Found out last Friday and it happened naturally on Tuesday. I had an erpc last time so I was really scared of doing it naturally but I found it much better than the surgery.

I'm still in pain and bleeding quite a bit. How long did you all take off work? I think I had 2 weeks plus half term last time but I'm at a new school now and I had already had 4 days with 'flu before this.

I'm sorry you've all been through this.

Hi, I found out I had miscarried at 10 weeks, it was the day before we went on a family holiday that as a family we had been planning for over a year.
Myself and the whole family were devastated and my whole world seemed to fall apart.
I was advised by the doctors to wait for my body to miscarry naturally, after 4 weeks i was still only having light bleeding so had another scan where they found a new sac that hadn't been seen in previous scans. This confused all of the doctors that saw me as they could not understand why this sac hadn't been seen previously. In the end I was told that they were unable to tell if I had been expecting twins or if it was a new pregnancy that had happened while there was still old pregnancy tissue left, so had to wait a week for another scan.
5 weeks after finding out about my miscarriage I went back for another scan, the new sac wasn't a new pregnancy so I opted to have the tablets to help hurry things along.
I sat with the nurse, signed all the forms and was told that once I had been given the tablets I would have to wait 4 hours before going home, they should start working within 76 hours and I would have some pain and quite heavy bleeding.

I was as happy as I could be about this given the situation... I was just glad to finally be getting some closure.
Unfortunately things didn't go to plan... The tablets kicked in instantly, I was in a lot of pain and 6 hours after being given the tablets I was on morphine being told that I would have to stay in hospital until to bleeding slowed down.
I passed the pregnancy tissue whilst I slept and woke up feeling extremely empty. I was examined by the doctors and was told I could go home but to expect some bleeding for the next few weeks.
I stopped bleeding 4 weeks later and did a pregnancy test as told to by the doctor... This came back negative... It was finally over so I could begin to accept what had happened and get some normality back into my life.
3 weeks after this I got my first period and was happy to be able to start trying again.
Last week I got my second period, I am finding it extremely hard at the moment, not many people knew about my pregnancy therefore do not realise what has happened. Those that do know have moved on and I don't want to seem like the one bringing them down by telling them I am not coping too well. My husband is brilliant and is a great support but I don't want to make him feel bad for moving on and getting on with his life by reminding him that on some days I still feel so sad and empty.
I hope you don't mind me sharing this on here but am hoping to take some of the weight off my shoulders by sharing my story with people who have been through similar things.
