Miscarriage advice?

[badfurday]

Unfortunately I am going through a miscarriage. Ultrasound in EPU said the baby died at around 7 weeks ( I was 10 weeks). The Sonographer said the baby was at the top of my cervix, so it should pass over night, that was Thursday.

I'm still bleeding a lot and in pain, it comes in waves and is worse when I'm walking around. I don't think I have passed it, I'm imagining it would be quite obvious. My question is, what happens now, I just have to wait it out? Can I request a D&C? I have another scan next Thursday. It seems by now having a D&C it's prolonging the torture and I can't remotely begin to move on. Just after some advice really. I just feel broken.

So sorry you're going through this @badfurday

I'm going through a mc at the moment myself so I completely understand how you feel. The bleeding and pain though it comes and goes in waves, feels like it's never ending. The sadness too I would wait until your next scan and then chat through what options are available to you afterwards. There is still a chance you could pass it naturally without a need for d&c, although I understand Thursday feels like a lifetime away. I have my next scan booked for weds and it feels like I've been waiting for it all year! Hopefully we can both have closure next week and move on from this!

Look after yourself chick. My thoughts are with you - you're not in this alone x

Are you able to ring your EPU? Mine were really supportive and happy for me to choose what option to go with. I was booked in for surgical management on the Monday but ended up passing it at home the day before. It did help me cope knowing there was an end in sight so to speak. Sorry you're both going through this it's awful xx

I am so sorry you are going through this. I had a d&c on friday and was 9 weeks. Have you spoken to your doctor about what's the best option.

Oh God. I don’t have words. I’ve technically been miscarrying since the 17th December. Then I was 8.5 weeks with small bleed and then the horrible scan showed no heartbeat. Had a big (apocalyptic bleed) the following Saturday. Cramps all over Christmas and then generally light bleeding ever since until today when I had huge cramps that had me crying and another big bleed. I’m so fed up now. I’ve been to The EPU this week and as all passing naturally no need for an operation. I have to say that as well as being devastated by the loss the endless bleed is just a daily reminder I don’t need. I think I may have liked the surgical option just to get it over and done with. I’m back to work tomorrow and I’m scared.

Also watch out for the big bleeds. I was passing huge clots (palm sized) for a number of hours, I just had to be over the loo. Apparently this is perfectly normal and you don’t need to worry unless it’s flowing blood. Also the cramps really hurt, take all the drugs you need. Baths helped
