Miscarriage started on Christmas morning. Are you fucking kidding me?

I've known for a few days that the baby had died at 8 weeks so it wasn't totally unexpected. But fuck me the timing couldn't be worse. I should be 12 weeks so it didn't seem like the tissue would pass by itself and I was booked in for medical management next week. It's just started by itself, on Christmas fucking morning. You couldn't make it up. As if it isn't shitty enough.

I can't tell anyone but my DH, who is being wonderful. I needed to tell someone else. Thanks to whoever reads this.

Oh you poor soul. I've been through two MMC though both in hospital.

Sorry for your loss. Ime keeping moving will speed things along.
If you are worried about excessive bleeding ring a medic for advice mind...
Once I passed an intact foetus the bleeding and pain more or less stopped.. Be prepared is what I am saying.

So sorry for your loss ❤️

So sorry for your loss especially today x

AuntieEntity · 25/12/2022 11:03

I used to say that my cervix knew how to ruin a party - I had a miscarriage on my birthday and at Christmas, so I empathise completely. Be kind to yourself today today OP.

I've been bleeding since Monday on and off various colours. I knew in my head it was mc. I then developed a water infection, doctor wouldn't see me. 111 pissed me about. Chemist wouldn't prescribe as I hadn't been officially told it was mc. Eventually got told to go to the hospital last night. Was there 7 til 9. They give me some anti biotics as I do have ecoli in my water (had give a sample to doctors on wed!). Double whammy. I've just recovered from strep too.

Trying to make the most of it. Timing is awful. Hope you're okay OP and enjoy your day with your loved ones. Xx

I’m so sorry for your loss.

fenellavonspurtz · 25/12/2022 11:16

Oh that is so cruel. Much love to you OP, and to your DH.

Tinsella · 25/12/2022 11:17

I’m so sorry, OP. Life can seem very cruel sometimes.

I had a miscarriage years ago. It started when I was about to board a plane, travelling alone with my toddler. I’d just been to visit family abroad and shared my happy news with them all. It felt like the shittiest timing ever.

I hope your DH looks after you today and you manage a peaceful day ❤️

Newusernameaug · 25/12/2022 11:17

I’m so sorry, sending you a big hug xxx

LoisLane22 · 25/12/2022 11:23

Thanks everyone. Sending love to whoever also needs it for any reason 💐

So sorry xxx

MajesticElephant · 25/12/2022 11:56

Im sorry for your loss. I’m in exactly the same boat as you and mine started just gone midnight. I have told everyone except DC who is too young to know because why should I suffer alone. It’s fucking shit.

Cherry35 · 25/12/2022 12:16

I'm so sorry for your loss. Try to save the embryo for testing.

I'm going through a MC now, 2 MC's in a row and both on Christmas. Can't find a way or reason to celebrate Christmas anymore. Then all doctors are on holiday and have to wait until it's not a Public Holiday to finally see one and hope has availability soon for a D & C.

Take care!

MrsMaudeLebowski · 25/12/2022 12:31

So sorry for you and your DH. I started reading Mumsnet when I had my miscarriage because I found advice and solace here that I couldn't find anywhere else. I found this thread below particularly helpful. Sending you and anyone else going through this love.

Marleyquinn · 25/12/2022 19:09

You are not alone. My baby stopped growing at 7 weeks, we found out yesterday at our early scan which was supposed to be a happy time just before Christmas. She said it was a missed miscarriage, although I fully knew going in there that something was wrong. I was advised to seek medical management on Monday, yet today I started miscarrying naturally. I was supposed to be 10 weeks tomorrow, life seems unfair.

Watermelonsugarbye · 25/12/2022 19:15

I’m so sorry, this happened to me in October, I didn’t make it to my medical management date in time. I did bleed period like bleeding for a few days prior to actually passing anything, my experience was quite painful but as someone has said once it’s passed the pain suddenly goes. Sending ❤️ is so sh*tty and unfair xxx

PutOnAHappyFace · 25/12/2022 19:21

I'm so sorry OP, I hope its bareable for you.

I've had 4 miscarriages and 2 of them on boxing Day. It's just cruel, cruel anyway but on such a memorable day.

Take care of yourself.

Brody77 · 25/12/2022 19:23

Big hug from me, and for everyone going through this, hope you’re not in too much pain and I’m sorry it’s such awful fucking timing when we are supposed to be enjoying everything and all is fun and joy. I had the same happen about three years ago, but had recurrent miscarriages, had had several before so knew what to expect, told my parents and Dh and tried to take it as easy as possible, not so easy to do on Christmas Day. Strength and love to you

rainbowlou · 25/12/2022 19:26

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, today if all days.
I had emergency surgery for an ectopic on my daughters birthday and remember thinking why? Of all the days in the year, why that day.
look after yourself x
