Early loss

[Hannah280]

I'm on day 1 of a miscarriage, I thought I was 7 weeks but went for a scan yesterday as I'd been spotting brown / pink for a week and only measured 5 weeks. Today I've been bleeding heavily and had period cramps so I know what's happening, it's just the waiting is killing me. I'm feeling so down.
I don't have anyone to talk to apart from my husband. My sister had a baby last weekend so I can't speak to her or my mum cos I don't want to ruin this time for them.
I'm supposed to be going away on Tuesday with family but I don't want to be there and things get worse and I have to tell them, what do I do?
Sorry for the rambling but I just needed to get it all out.

I think you'll be physical fine to go away - emotionally it's your call.

At this stage a miscarriage is likely to be like a particularly nasty period. Mine was anyway. I remember thinking how odd it was that I was out with the kids at the fucking fam while literally losing my baby. A friend had a similar experience commenting that nothing stops - you're in total turmoil but physically able to carry on so you just do.

I’m so sorry. I wouldn’t go, I miscarried at the same stage and it took a couple of days to pass the sac. At which point I almost fainted and generally felt so rotten that my husband took me to the hospital.

@Hannah280 I’m so sorry! This feeling is horrible, but it does get easier day by day. I remember waiting for mine to come and when it did I had the worse pain, my husband had to call 111. I don’t blame you for not wanting to go away, I’m sure your family will completely understand as well x
