Missed miscarriage

[Armdjm]

Hello, I am just looking for any advice (preferably from NHS experience) as I know no one who has gone through this to ask.

I am 9 1/2 weeks pregnant, had a private scan yesterday which confirmed heart stopped at 6+4. I had a gut feeling (hence the scan) I can’t explain why as I still have all my symptoms.

I rang my local unit and went today for a scan who again confirmed the same as the private scan but are making us go back in 14 days for a re scan before I can have any medical management.

it just feels cruel and I have so many worries.
Will it happen naturally when it stopped so long ago?
can I end up with an infection with it just left there?
Will the NHS offer surgical management over tablets?

I just feel tortured

thank you to anyone who has read this!

Hello everyone! Original poster here. I lost my log in for mumsnet and have just made a new one so searched this thread to see any updates!

My little girl following my MMC is now 7 months old in a couple of days.

it is so lovely to see all of the happy stories that have followed all of our really hard times!

@Armck aww, that's amazing. I was wondering how you were getting on. I'm delighted to hear that all is well!

Hi all,
update from me. After MMC back in March 2025 I’m happy to announce that my little boy arrived safely by elective csection due to prev csection and being breech early January weighing a whopping 9lb 15oz.

still trying to tackle nights and recovering from surgery but both doing well.

Congratulations on your little one, that's lovely news!

My rainbow baby is 5 months now - I can't believe how fast it goes!

@Sunshine8537 that's amazing to hear. Congratulations 💙

@InvisibleDragon those five months have flown by!

Congratulations! <3 This is so great to hear.
I'm now nearly 32 weeks pregnant after a MMC in Jul 24 and a TFMR in Jul 23. Hoping to meet my rainbow baby in April <3

My little girl was born Jan 15th, on her due date! I still can’t quite believe she’s mine. My surgery for my second MMC was Jan 20th last year.

I can’t believe how quickly time is going already and she’s only a month old! Feeling very lucky and blessed even through the sleep deprivation 😅

@Confusedmermaid1 that's amazing. Congratulations!

Congratulations @Confusedmermaid1 !! That's lovely news!

Congratulations all 🥹 it’s so heartwarming hearing the happy stories from us all following then horrible MMC we all experienced. My little one is almost 3 months old and it’s mind blowing how it’s flown by!! Time is such a thief 🥹

Hope those ladies still pregnant are getting on ok!!
