Missed Miscarriage happening right now

[Pennyblossom12]

Hi,
I'm just looking to talk with someone who has been or is going through the same experience as me. On Tuesday I had some pink blood when I wiped so I want my local early pregnancy unit who were great and got me in for a scan straight away. I went with my husband, I was supposed to be about 9 weeks and this point but the doctor couldn't find a heartbeat and another doctor confirmed this. The baby has stopped growing at 7 weeks and 5 days. This is my first pregnancy. They explained to me what a missed miscarriage is and what my options were. I decided to go for the natural option and let my body do what it has to do. At the moment I'm just waiting knowing that I have a dead baby inside of me and I'm scared about the actual miscarriage. I keep crying and then I feel ok. My family and close friends have all been great but none of them have experienced this so it's hard for them to really know what I'm feeling like right now.

We want to have a baby so badly but I know that I never want to go through this again. Is anyone going through similar or has been through similar experiences? Thanks x

Not sure if anyone wants to hear this but if it helps just one person going through a missed miscarriage then it's worth sharing. So my miscarriage started naturally on Sunday night. My cramps were getting worse and closer together and I felt the need to sit on the toilet. After this the bleeding began. I took both paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain as it was slightly worse than I was expecting. I didn't get much sleep that night as the cramps were frequent. I sat on the toilet and felt something pass, I chose not to look. The cramps were still bad on the Monday but I found a hot bath and painkillers really helped. Again on the Monday I sat on the toilet as felt the need to and felt something else pass but didn't look. I was round at my Mum's as I didn't want to be alone. The cramps have stopped now and I'm still bleeding but now it's more like a heavy period. Today I'm occupying myself with cleaning the house top to bottom. I was so scared of the miscarriage starting but I got through the worst of it. My husband and I are trying to stay positive for the future and he has said I seem more like myself now. I think the worst part was the waiting for it all to happen, now it's happening I feel like I can start to move on xx
