Had a D&C today

[Apple103]

I cant find my previous threads to update. I went for the first scan at 8wk and no heartbeat but hcg levels rising. Then a week later which was yesterday the doctor confirmed that I'm having a MMC. So this morning I had the d&c procedure to remove everything. It will be sent off to the lab to be examined and in a week we will discuss what happened.

To say we are devastated is putting it mildly . We struggled with conceiving my ds1 and only after traumatic fertility treatment were we successful. So this time around and after two years of trying we were ecstatic that we managed to do this on our own. But it was not meant to be..

Just feel numb, trying to keep busy. My dh took time of week as we need time to process this. Sorry just rambling.

I had this with my first baby. Went for first scan at 12 weeks and there was no heartbeat.

We had just got used to the fact that we were going to be a mummy and daddy.

I was utterly shattered.

I am sorry you are going through this😔

Hi Apple I've been thinking of you and am so sorry that this was the outcome, it's heartbreaking. It feels so cruel to fall pregnant when you didn't think it was going to happen only to have it all taken away from you. I hope you are able to take the time you need xxx

So sorry to read this. It sounds like it's been such a very tough time. Sending a big non-Mumsnetty hug your way. 💐

Thinking of you and sending love.

Thank you all for the comforting and kind words. It's so hard isnt it. The worst feeling going into theatre yesterday was it was the exact same one where my son was delivered and now I was there to do the opposite. Lucky I was asleep for the entire thing so felt nothing.

Moomin I tried to reply on my original thread but couldnt find it. How are you holding up. Guess it's still early days for us and it will take time to process. X

Oh Apple that must have been so difficult. I hope you're feeling ok, physically at least? Emotionally I know it's another story. I have good days and bad, sometimes I feel pretty well and other times just exhausted and getting regular migraines which is shitty on top of everything else. Emotionally up and down too. Hope you're doing as ok as you can be xx
