No heartbeat

I'm supposed to be 10+1 today. Had a private scan at 8 weeks as i was having some spotting and EPU couldn't see me until the weekend. All was fine with the scan bean was measuring right and had a heartbeat. Scanned with EPU at 8+5 once again everything was fine and had a heartbeat. Felt relieved, this past weekend after a week of really strong symtpoms all of them went overnight apart from breast tenderness. Everyone i spoke to said it's normal, the placenta is taking over. However i started to worry again so booked another scan today. They couldn't find a heartbeat and bean was only measuring 9+1. Going to EPU tomorrow and praying it's a mistake. This isn't fair, just over a week ago everything was fine.

Hi, it hasn't been good today. I'd be lying if i said that I'm not finding it hard to accept. Thank you for replying x

It is truly the most horrible thing. I had seen a heartbeat the week before my baby died and it was so upsetting. I was at a private scan when I found out so I can really empathise. I am thinking of you . Take good care of yourself x

So sorry you're going through this. I can understand how you feel after attending the EPAU last week due to spotting and being told their was no heartbeat at 10 weeks. I'd had a private scan at 8 weeks and seen a heartbeat but baby had stopped developing a couple of days after.
It really is the saddest thing. Be kind to yourself and cry if you need to cry. They say time is a great healer, I really hope that's true xx

I pray god takes me tomorrow when they take my baby. Even though i know praying doesn't work anyway.

I’m so sorry that this is happening to you hopeful. It happens to so many of us and is very upsetting. In time you will come to accept that this little bean was not compatible with life for whatever reason and this is nature’s way of preventing further hurt at a later stage.

There isn’t always a clear reason why this happens but the majority of women who have miscarriages do go on to have a successful pregnancy. That will not make you feel any better for today and the time you need to grieve for the loss of this little one but may give you some hope to hold on to.
