On 1/10/18 we went for our 12 week dating scan where we found out that our baby was measuring at 9 weeks with no heartbeat which meant that I had had a missed miscarriage. At the time I didn’t really understand it. I didn’t know what was going to happen but I chose to let nature take its course as I wanted to bury the baby with a rose bush. On the 9th of October I started getting contractions that got got closer and closer every time. It started at about 1am and by about 7/8am I was about to give up and go to the hospital to get help. These pains were proper contractions, it hurt as much as when you are in labour but at about 8:30 am while I was mid contraction I felt a pop in my stomach and I knew that was it. I went to the toilet and passed everything at that point. When I wiped the baby was on the tissue which I was so glad about. I wanted to see my baby and I did. The pain decreased immediately and I was so glad that I went through with the choice of having a natural miscarriage. I strongly suggest to anybody who is going through this that they naturally pass the baby. Even though the pain got unbearable I would go through it all again in a heartbeat so that I could have the closure of seeing my baby. Please feel free to ask me anything! I just wanted to share my experience so that anybody who is going through it knows what is going to happen x

Hi there OP,

We hope you don't mind but we're going to move this over to the pregnancy loss boards now, we think you'll get a lot more support there.

So sorry for your loss Flowers
