Expect to miscarry soon

[threegreenbottles]

I just need to write this down. There's probably no 'advice' to be given as I'll never know what really went wrong. So I'm swinging between needing to burst into tears and then feeling quite numb.

We went for the first ultrasound and saw a good sized gestational sac but an absolutely tiny fetus - a good two weeks smaller than it should be - and no heartbeat seen.

I've had no cramping/bleeding, no warning signs that something was wrong, so it's a shock. I guess it stopped growing around 5 weeks.

I've been told to expect miscarriage and I'm getting a second ultrasound to confirm there's no growth next week.

I don't know how to process the news.

Sorry for the bad news.
For me I had the tiniest spotting so I was expecting bad news at the scan.
Stopped growing at 6 weeks but thought I was 8. .
Sent home with an app for a fortnight but knew I wouldn't need it.
Passed the scan and tiny dc the next day. .
EVERYONE handles this differently and there is no right or wrong response.
Accept all the hugs you can at this bloody awful time. .
Keep your dh up to date on your feelings though - you are in this together. .

So sorry to hear this threegreenbottles. I'm going through the same thing. Went for scan yesterday at 10 weeks and they could only see small sac and no heartbeat. They did an internal scan as well and confirmed it's a missed miscarriage. Made an appointment to go to epu on Monday for medical management but have started bleeding today so guess that won't be necessary.
Its my 2nd miscarriage though first one was at 6 weeks and I started bleeding and it passed by itself. I think this time it's just such a shock as there was no warning signs and really was expecting to see a healthy baby at the scan.
Taking some solace in that I had my daughter after the 1st miscarriage so am just trying to stay positive that I will get pregnant again.
How are you feeling today? I'm just feeling pretty numb, no more tears. Just trying to distract myself with funny movies and trashy magazines.
Hugs to you.

No advice but I'm so sorry for you all

Sorry for your losses. I am in a similar situation. Learned yesterday that the baby died 3 weeks ago at 8.5 wks. Now waiting. My strong preference is for surgery but there are no available slots until late next week. I'm utterly terrified of miscarrying naturally and am a bit of a wreck. I feel that things are progressing, bleeding lightly with cramps and so don't know that I can last until the appointment.
