Missed Miscarriage at 12 week scan

Hello, this was my first pregnancy and I went for my 12 week scan yesterday and discovered my baby was smaller than it should have been and had no heartbeat. I’m utterly devastated. I was told the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. 💔

They told me I have three options with miscarriage management, wait for the tissue to pass naturally, take a pill or have an operation. I have had absolutely no bleeding and no majorly painful cramps at any point in my pregnancy.

At this current time I am too traumatised to go back to hospital, after what happened yesterday so I’m opting to wait for it to happen naturally.

I just wanted to ask on here if anyone had the same experience and opted to wait for it to happen naturally. I’m so sorry to anyone who has also experienced this, yesterday was the worst day of my life.

I think waiting for it to occur naturally is the right choice for me but any advice from anyone who has been through it would be greatly received. ❤️
