Hi,
I have never done this before, but have been so impressed by everyone's genuine concern & heartfelt advice, so here goes..
I went along for my dating scan last week, no heartbeat was found, just the embryo which they said was 6wks, when I should have been 9 wks by my dates.
I was very traumatised, never having had a miscarriage before & was sent home with skimpy info and told to go back for another scan in 2 wks,which is next thursday which just seems like a bloody long time to wait as the midwife really gave me no hope.
Nothing has physically happened to me,, I still feel very tired and slightly sick in the afternoons. I feel very much in limbo, I am in the middle of major building work, have 3 other children to care for & dp is in london all wk!!
Any advice on what to expect, if i don't bleed spontaneously, will be much appreciated as I am stressed out of my head...

Hi teenagers, it is the most inane things that can trigger grief so I'm not at all surprised you used your ensuite tiles as a means to vent! I remember throwing toilet rolls around our downstairs toilet in an angry/distressed fit just after my 2nd miscarriage. I can't remember what the trigger was but it was something silly. It's normal. How are you today?
