Missed miscarriage at 9 weeks - what to expect? (opting to wait and mc naturally)

[TheBlonde]

Had some bleeding so got scanned at EPU today only to find it's a missed miscarriage

I've opted to wait and mc naturally but wondering now how awful it will be and how long it will take
I'm booked in for a follow up scan in 2 weeks to check it's all gone

Can anyone tell me what to expect?

Hi ladylush, I am doing much better thanks

I have a form from my GP to get my TSH checked. They are adamant that if it was ok 6 mths ago it must be still ok now.

Glad you are much better Bit at your gp though. My TSH went from 1.8 to 3.8 in a matter of weeks. According to research I read, the latter is not conducive to a viable pregnancy. Ideal range is below 2. Also when you fall pregnant again (if you are ttc) you need to get TFT regularly throughout first trimester as the demands on the thyroid are greatest then (baby has no thyroid function of it's own until 11 weeks apparently). Your gp may be right but it will be coincidentally rather than logically. Not everyone's TSH remains stable and pregnancy can send it haywire.

Hi,

Can anyone advise me, I went for my 12 week scan 2 weeks ago today to find there was no baby just the sack etc, I have opted for the natural way, so far I have had what I would decribe has a period and period pains and small amount a clots, today I have woken with no blood but still period pains, I am assuming its not all over yet or is it?? can anyone help? if there is no baby to pass just the sack do you still have contrations and a lot of bleeding.

thanks

inpatients - you may be best to start a new thread

sorry for your loss
it may not be over yet if you are still getting pains
what follow up has the hospital suggested? do you have a rescan booked?

Hello my daughter had a miscarriage at week 9 . Only found out 3 days later . She has not got a good relationship with her mum and I’ve always coped by the invisible wall... she wanted to show me the scan but I couldn’t . How do I help her when so upset . She just started work and with her partner and cultural issues we excepted her partner but I wanted her to focus on work get engaged married and then kids . Have no one to turn too

Only upset because I felt powerless and thou gave her big cuddle I don’t understand the feelings and I feel she needs her mother who we can’t turn too

I'm so sorry to hear this, especially given the difficult family situation. For me the feelings were grief. The same as you would feel losing anyone you care about. The only difference is that I never met my baby in person. Unfortunately this may not be the best time to try building bridges between your daughter and her mother but your daughter will find comfort in others around her so try not to feel bad about the fact her mother is not there to support her. It is out of your control unfortunately. A close friend of mine is estranged from her Mum and has found other support networks to actually be better as their relationship was so difficult. By all means broach the subject if you think it might be helpful but let your daughter guide you on it.
I hope that helps in some way.
