I learnt today that I'd had a MMC. I should have been 12weeks and baby was 8+4 and had no heart beat.

I sad and angry and terrified of the bleeding starting. Just posting for support really, I'm broken.

Sending you lots of hugs ❤️❤️❤️ it's so heartbreaking when they tell you Sad I had two mmc and then went on to have my daughter at the third try... So I'm sending lots of positive thoughts to you for the future. Of course, that doesn't help you at the moment...all I can share from my experience is that I turned my focus towards healing myself physically and emotionally...Let yourself grieve...take each day as it comes and I promise you it will get better ❤️

I'm so sorry, it's truly horrible, however you are not alone. x

Thanks, I hate how many people this has happened too!

I'm going back to the hospital now and dreading every minute.

Wishing you all the best @Skybooks

I've actually this morning just started to have what looks like another early mc, so I'm joining you on the emotional roller coaster... Xx

Karryk I'm so sorry you are joining me. I've had my medication from hospital and it seems so cruel that I'm still playing a waiting game. I feel like I just want to start bleeding but also like i don't want it to be over.

Biggest hugs ❤️ I had spotting yesterday and period like bleeding from this morning so no time to really do anything but sit it out. Are you able to be at home until the weekend? I was working from home today which has helped...comforting to be inside and cocooned away. How do you feel physically? I'm knackered - ready for bed and it's not even half nine.

I took paracetamol just as the cramps started and that seemed to help. My first two mc I had an erpc so this is the first time I'm dealing with the bleeding. Not sure what to expect - it's like a normal period so far 😕

I know what you mean. You want it to be over so you can move on but at the same time that means it's over. Time does help. Be gentle with yourself, that's the main thing I've learned..and if you have close friends you can tell, that can help too xxx

I'm off work, due to the nature of my job I can't work at the moment. It is DS birthday on Friday so need to be lovely for that.

The treatment is working and I've had the most horrific evening. I can't go to bed as I'm worried about bleeding and flooding whilst asleep.

I hope this doesn't feel so bad for you. I feel very empty (physically and emotionally) and pretty lost right now.

I saw a good friend earlier, it waz nice to break out of the bubble for 30 mins. Take care of yourself.

@Skybooks I’m so very sorry to hear this has happened to you.

Just wanted to share my experience. We suffered a MMC back in June at 10+3 (baby died at 9+3) I opted for a D&C in the end. It was my second consecutive miscarriage. It was an absolutely awful time but a supportive partner and good friends got me through it.

I’m now 15+3 weeks and everything is going well so far.

Lots of TLC for you Flowers

Hi skybooks
I am so sorry for what you are going through. Reading your story is all to familiar to me, I too had my 12 week scan last Monday and found that my baby had stopped growing at 8w6d. Devastated can’t even begin to explain how we are feeling. This is our fourth pregnancy loss but It’s just as painful as our first. Rest up and take care of yourself. X
