We found out last week at a 9 week scan that the baby was measuring 6+2 with no heartbeat. Due to be rescanned tomorrow to confirm the MMC and hear my options and I’d like to have some prewarning what they might be. Its been the worst week of my life waiting and wondering if it will happen naturally and Ive had a few period type pains but no spotting whatsoever. I need this to be over ASAP and cant continue to wait and dont want the tablets. Am I most likely to be offered a MVA or D&C? The MVA sounds less invasive somehow am I correct? What type ofsedation or pain relief can I expect to be offered? I’ve never had a general anaesthesia and the thought scares me so much. I also have chronic sinusitis and my phlegm and nasal passages have been partucularly bad this past week so if I have to be incubated I’m worried about the additonal risks of respitory infection or difficulties. I dont however want to go through extreme pain being awake. Will twilight sedation maybe be a safer option maybe with local anaesthesia too? Will I even get a say in any of this? My head is spinning with it all and I’m so afraid!
