I previously had 2 mc one was suddenly active misscarriage where I bled out second was a missed misscarriage which I did not want to believe scanned again 7/8/9 weeks and then had smm

3rd pregnancy was my rainbow baby girl who is now almost 2

Got pregnant again in December 2020

So excited elated over the moon being extra careful got my appointment booked with my gp and early pregnancy unit so they could check if it is a viable pregnancy due to covid my husband want allowed

January went for my first scan I was suppose to be 6 weeks 3 days I haven’t kept any hope due to my previous experience didn’t want to have hope as I just wanted to mentally prepare myself for bad news

I measured at 5+6 and the baby had a strong heart beat just like my girl I was so happy as my baby was going to make it as none of my previous pregnancies had heart beat
Hope built up
They put me scans every 2 weeks (still cautious)

Second scan was 8+3 baby measured at 7+6 and string heart beat again over the moon built hope excitement plans everything came into play this is the point you think your now in the 1% what could possibly happen I’m going to be ok

This scan was on a Friday

Me and my husband were due to celebrate our anniversary in the Tuesday so I thought what better way to gift him then take him for a private ultrasound so he could see his baby

My husband is a very hands on dad absolutely amazing father to our almost 2 years old does everything for her

Went to the appointment I am suppose to be 9 weeks according to my dates and the lady had me drink lots of fluid and she starting scanning and she stopped and said empty your bladder I need a closer look with a internal scan which I found very shocking and weird as my friend had her 9 week scan as an ultrasound she went for internal and she stayed quiet measuring I could see the big screen im use to seeing this I can’t see what I’m looking for immediately I say to her “you’re scaring me “ she turned around and said “ I’m sorry there is no heart beat “

My heart sank into my stomach I couldn’t believe it how Isit possible that Friday there was a heartbeat and Tuesday it’s gone completely vanished

Turned into the worst day ever of my life

I cried sobbed went straight to the hospital they confirmed the same news and gave me my options which I again went for the surgical management as the medical way was only going to cause more trauma

I don’t know of anyone having experienced this

Was it caused by stress? by something I did? can anyone give me any insight to why I haven’t found many articles as to why this happens or many people that it has happened to so please shed some light if you have or any explanation or just your experience

Thank you

Hi there everyone,
We're so very sorry to hear about the loss of your little ones. Sadly so many of us know the pain of going from hope and anticipation to such deep sadness.
We wanted to just flag this link on here and of course to the wonderful Tommy's.
It's good that you have somewhere like this to express yourselves - sisterhood is wonderful really.
