Found out yesterday that I have had a missed miscarriage & don't seem to be coping well.

Found out at 12 week scan. Was very very nervous before scan, almost as if I had a sixth sense all would not be well, but had no reason to suspect this as had lots of strong pregnancy symptoms - infact more so than with my two healthy pregnancies.
Poor DP wasn't expecting this at all though. It would have been our first child together & he was looking forward to seeing it on the scan.

As soon as she started the ultrasound, we could both see there was nothing there, just a big empty sack. She then did an internal scan which revealed that baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks 6 days but my body had not realised so the sack had continued to develop & measured correct for 12 weeks, which was probably why I had started to notice a bump.

Going in for d&c, or whatever it is now called, tomorrow, but not doing well at all today. I keep crying, then calming, then crying again. I feel sick & empty.

Back from my break & it definitely did me good to get away, but I had my moments, and getting back has been hard as my calender was still showing that week, my pregnancy tests were still in my drawer & all the bits from the midwife were still in my room. Had myself a bit of a cry. Thought I was doing so much better & then I come home & take 4 steps back.
