What will happen ?

[Fidgety31]

I had slight brown spotting and bleeding all week . Went for a private scan and was told it was a blood clot in my womb. But that was ok.
He baby looked normal but had no visible heartbeat .
9 days ago I had a vagina scan and saw the heartbeat and baby measured 7 weeks.
Yesterday baby measured 7+2 and no heartbeat on an abdominal scan.

I have to go to hospital on Monday to discuss next steps. What will happen? What will they do?
My body doesn’t seem to be miscarrying by itself so I don’t know what I am meant to do? I’ve never experienced this before

Hi, I am so sorry you are going through this. I think they will go over what is best for you on Monday whether it would be waiting for your body to naturally miscarry or some medical intervention, afraid I do not have any knowledge of the other options but I didn’t want to read your post and not respond. Sending you big hugs xx

Hi @Fidgety31

I'm so sorry you're having to experience this. It is such a heartbreaking time. 

As @K0013 said they will talk you through the options which usually include:

• watchful waiting- wait to miscarry normally. Most places allow you up to 4 weeks with interval scanning unless there are signs of infection.
• medical management- involves either taking an oral pill under the tongue or the nurses place a vaginal pessary. This then usually initiates the miscarriage (same stuff as used for labour induction). But it can fail in 10-15% cases (did for me despite 2 doses). I think for 7 week pregnancy you should be allowed to go home after taking the pills. Occasionally (usually if pregnancy was over 9.5 weeks they like you to stay in hospital- not very glamorous involves going to toilet in bed pans! But they do it if they think there may be complications).
• surgical management - can be done under general (put you to sleep) or local anaesthetic (you're awake but can't feel anything). This is where they will go in and remove everything & usually scan to make sure they've gotten it all out at the end. I ended up needing this in the end- had it under general and it was really not too bad. Bad period type cramps for an hour after procedure and then just a light period really.

Hope that helps & hope this process is as easy as it can be for you both physically & emotionally.

Thank you for the information.
I can’t think straight at the moment because Its all just too soon and raw.
My bleeding is getting worse so maybe it will miscarry naturally after all.
I’m totally gutted to be honest and can’t understand why this is happening

I miscarried alone at 8 weeks. Scan showed no hb . I went to work, hoovered as normal, started having timeable contractions, the urge to push and passed a tiny perfect foetus in its sac. Bleeding subsided straight away, pains went and I felt better.Didn't contact anyone.
The chance to say hello /goodbye was so much better than my first pregnancy that ended in a d&c. Depends what you feel up to managing. If medical management sounds easier for you then go for it. Personal choice and yours to make.

I’m alone too which is making me very sad.
It was a rocky long distance relationship and I’ve asked him to come to me but he hasn’t.
So I have that upset as well as the miscarriage.
I don’t know how much more I can cope with.
