Hi all

I think I just passed the sac. I am traumatized.
I started bleeding on Wednesday and today it got worse. I felt something fall out today and ran to the bathroom thinking it was a clot, and it looked like the sac, it was heartbreaking. I can't get the image out of my head.

I have to go back to the hospital on Tuesday for another scan even though I know what I saw and that the baby is gone.

I just want to know will I still need a D&C after loosing the sac?

I am so heartbroken too, I went into work all this week even though I was bleeding, I just wanted the distraction. I made a massive mistake on Friday and Im worried Ill be fired to. My manager said there were mitigating and exceptional cicrcumstances and she would talk to me when I got back but for now to get better.

I am so heartbroken and stressed it is so horrible. I can't believe my baby is gone

I am so so sorry for your loss. It’s the most traumatic experience to go through.
For me, once I passed the sac I had some bleeding for a couple of days, but then didn’t need any other intervention as everything had gone. It took me a good 5 weeks for HCG to leave my system though until I got a negative test.

Please try not to worry about work - we are all human, and if your manager knows what you have been going through I’m sure they will be understanding.

I know exactly how you are feeling, and it is the most awful thing I have been through. Sending you lots of love x

Many years ago I had exactly the same thing happen. You won't need medical intervention as long as the whole thing came out. You will need time to process the loss. People around you won't understand, early pregnancy isn't so real to to others as it's not so obvious you were pregnant and they can't understand the connection you already had. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself time to grieve.

Hi,

I am so so sorry!! I had a miscarriage 10 months ago now, so I completely understand the shock and heartbreak. It really is an awful thing to go through.

Once I passed the sac, I bled for a further week or so and then didn't need anything else.

I would try and take some time off work if you can so you can look after yourself. I tried to go back to work but my boss wouldn't let me, which with hindsight was a good thing! You need time to heal and process.

It's still so fresh, but when you're ready, I found the book The Worst Girl Gang Ever really helpful to understand and process how I felt.

Sending you a hug!

I’m so so sorry for your loss. I was around 7 weeks when the sac was passed on 23rd Jan 💔 I already feel a little bit more positive now. I know it hurts more than anything could prepare you for. Normally EPU will want to check you have a negative pregnancy test in a few weeks, as a positive one may indicate tissue remaining.

It helped me to think that in my own way I got to say goodbye 💔
