Just found out I've lost baby at 7+5 :(

I'm around 7+5 today and I've just found out at a private scan that baby stopped growing at approx 7 weeks :( She said she couldn't see a heartbeat anymore, and the yolk sac looked like it was collapsing. Got a scan at EPU Thursday morning to confirm.

The reason I went for the scan was due to having brownish/pink discharge starting yesterday evening.

I'm devastated, but not shocked. I had a feeling right from when I found out I was pregnant just over 4 weeks ago that something was going to go wrong. I don't know why I felt like that, but I just did. I've had one pregnancy before which was completely fine, no complications, barely even any symptoms, but a totally healthy pregnancy and my daughter is now 7.

It's horrible not knowing why I've lost this baby, and whether it'll happen again next time around. It's felt like so long knowing I was pregnant even though it was only around a month. I tried to do everything right, took the vitamins, started eating better, relaxed a little more...

Has anyone here been pregnant after loss? Some positivity stories if anyone has any? My daughter is from a previous relationship and me and my partner desperately do want a child together. But I'm so put off now this has happened. I'm scared of waiting around all that time for the same thing to happen again. What if I get pregnant and MC again. What if it takes ages to get pregnant? It's draining.

Thank you if you read this far, it means a lot. And any and all stories you can share with me I'll be grateful to hear ♥️

@ChloeN @Essexgalttc @STom2 Thank you so much everyone.

Been to hosp this morning and been given all my options. Chosen medical management and they're going to try and fit me in an appointment this afternoon to get it started. Scared of the pain but I'm hoping it won't be too intense, I know I can take painkillers. Just want to get the process started because the quicker it's started the quicker it'll be over with

@rach971 good luck I’m sure it’ll be fine 💕 don’t worry if it doesn’t happen immediately like they tell you it will, it got me down so much as I thought it hadn’t worked but it did in the end anyway!xx

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a loss at 6 weeks. Like you I had a very healthy 1st pregnancy and she is now 4. We tried again the month after the loss (after first period) and now have a healthy 13 month old. It's really shit and unfortunately sometimes there are no answers. Be kind to yourself and take some time to process this.
