Probable missed miscarriage

[evelynj]

Hi all

I found myself unexpectedly pg with no 3 just over a month ago. As we weren't trying & it had been a stressful time I wasn't sure of my dates but thought I was 9-11 weeks as hadn't had a period for a while. I had my booking in app yest & mw said I was measuring 7 weeks but couldn't find a heartbeat :(

She said the sac was a good shape & to come back on Thursday for another scan to see if there's any growth. I think there's a very slim possibility that I'm only 7 weeks but don't really think so.

I had thought that things were ok as I'm still feeling really sick-haven't had any bleeding. Mw said I would still feel sick & sore as all the hormones are still there.

I was knackered last night & had an early night but have now woken & can't get it out of my head. I'm back to the stage of stressing & constantly going to the toilet to check if I'm bleeding. Would like to try & stay positive but my head isn't cooperating.

It feels so unfair that I still feel ill if I'm no longer really pregnant.

Any tips for getting through the next 5 days greatly appreciated. Think I'll be ok when the children are keeping me busy but work & evenings not so much....

So sorry to hear that There's a pregnancy loss / miscarriage board here which I found really helpful when I had a MMC. The wait till Thursday will be hard, but at least at that point you'll know. My only advice really is to be very, very kind to yourself. It's a huge shock. Try not to jump to conclusions though, just keep yourself going till Thursday.

Thanks Vashta-found it particularly hard wakening in the night, will just try to keep busy til Thurs.

It is a really tough time and the waiting is just awful. If the worst does happen, it's worth going onto the miscarriage board for more advice.

Hi Evelyn, I just wanted to comment to say that I'm sorry to hear your news. Please dont feel alone, although I know how hard that is. Somehow us women do find the strength to get through the tough times, and hopefully before you know it, it will be Thursday. I'll be thinking of you, and if you feel up to it, please do let us know how you get on
