Another missed miscarriage

[Zizi123]

I am not sure why I am posting, maybe just to acknowledge that I was pregnant and carried a baby for a while. I’ve had a very tough couple of weeks. First my brother then my mum got admitted to hospital where they still are. I went for my 12 week scan on Monday to be told the baby was measuring 11 weeks and had some problems. So I had an appointment with a specialist this morning to find out the heartbeat had stopped. I’ve had 2 MMCs before I had my son so I always go in expecting the worst. Although part of me thought I’m due a bit of good luck but it wasn’t to be.

@Zizi123 sorry for your loss. Here if you would like to talk 🙏💐❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words

I’m going medical management this time. I asked what to bring on the day of the misoprostol and the nurse said an overnight bag with enough for 2 nights. Surely that’s excessive?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a medical miscarriage at the hospital this week. I was admitted on Wednesday morning and discharged from the hospital last night.

I'd definitely pack an overnight bag as the hospital has advised you. I'm glad I did with the amount of time I was in there, so me and DH had a spare change of clothes, snacks and fizzy drinks etc. I was especially glad we had taken more drinks as the nurses were caught up for quite a while with an emergency. I didn't expect to be in there so long but I ended up doing rounds of misoprostol every 3-4 hours. The main pregnancy had passed within about 5 hours but I continued to lose more pregnancy tissue after that, so they wanted to make sure it had mostly passed before sending me home. They really looked after me though and were happy to give me stronger pain meds when the codeine and suppository was no longer enough.

Again, I'm so sorry you're going through this OP x

Thanks. I’m getting nowhere with the misoprostol, it’s been 32 hours now and only bleeding and minimal clots so I’m going for surgery in the morning. Last year when I had my son I was 3cm dilated for 8 hours before having a section so I’m guessing it may be related.

So sorry for your loss too and I hope you and your husband are doing ok.

I’m so sorry. I’ve also had 3 MMCs and they were all terrible. I hope the surgery went as well as it could have and that you’re healing up ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, yes it was straightforward. The staff were lovely but the emotional support was very lacking and I was woken at 3am to sign a form for the burial of the remains.

Thank you, I'm glad the surgery was as straight forward as it could be for you and hope you're now getting plenty of rest. That's bad they woke you up to sign the consent forms, I'm sorry you had to go through that on top of everything else.

Thank you ❤️ we're doing as okay as we can at the moment. Yesterday was the worst day when hubby had to go back to work. I guess because I had no distractions I spent the entire day in tears spiralling. I've had a slightly better day today though and forced myself to get out of the house for a bit. I just feel so bad for DH aswell. He's dealing with the loss and then is having to support me whilst I'm a mess on top of that. Hopefully none of us have to go through this again x

Yes I think it is the aftermath which is the worst and too much time to think about it. I’m very lucky to have my 16 month old son. He is just such a great distraction. This was my last pregnancy and I hope you go on to have a happy healthy one soon x
