Currently miscarrying- what do I do?

[NeitherNowtNorSummat01]

Really sorry, this is a horrible question. Went for a scan yesterday to find out I had miscarried. I’m 11 weeks. I opted for the surgical option, and am booked in for Friday. Because I was booked in, I didn’t read the information leaflets about natural miscarriage.
So I’m currently lying in bed with severe cramping and have passed several large clots and a lot of blood.
My question is, if I pass the foetus, what do I do with it?
On the information given in the hospital, we talked through options for disposing of ‘pregnancy tissue’ and was offered bringing it home in a box to arrange my own blessing and cremation. Should I be doing this myself?

Hi. Sorry you're going through this . Do you have some good pain relief such as cocodamol? I have almost completed (I think) a medically managed miscarriage.
My miscarriage was at a much earlier stage than yours. I passed the yolk sac but had trouble identifying the embryo! After examination, I flushed down the loo.
If I had had an identifiable foetus, I would have liked to bury it.
I think a lot of women dispose of it themselves but hopefully someone will come along to advise you better.
Just didn't want to leave you unanswered.

Hi @NeitherNowtNorSummat01 I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. I started miscarrying two weeks ago at 9 weeks pregnant. The hospital (eventually) gave me some leaflets, and in one of them it said that if you want to you can put it in a sealed box and bring it in to the hospital for testing. However they did also say that often testing does not always explain why the miscarriage happened but can exclude some causes which would need futher treatment or investigations.

I should imagine that if you wanted the hospital to perform the cremation, you could take it in and ask for that to happen. I actually would ring them or ask your partner to ring them and see what they offer, as it's probably different in different hospitals.

Wishing you lots of strength x

Thank you both for your replies.
I went in today for my medically managed miscarriage. I told them I thought I’d passed it so they gave me a scan. I was right, I had passed the sac and embryo (though I couldn’t identify it at the time- it wasn’t on a pad).
In hindsight, I think I’m glad I didn’t see it. I don’t think I could have coped with that!
Anyway, turns out, a lot of the other pregnancy related tissue was still there so had the surgery anyway. Double whammy.
As it happens, I woke up from the anaesthetic sobbing my heart out! Very strange and surreal experience.
