Missed misscarriage - please help advice needed

[Kop22]

Hi all
Really need some help and advice,
At my 12 week scan I was diagnosed with a missed misscarriage it happened around 8.5 weeks - the hospital aren’t helping and just sent me away. Apparently I have to wait another two weeks? Please please any advice I’m literally broken!

They have sent you away for what?

When I had a MMC, I had to come back for a second scan and then talk about a plan.

As it's been a few weeks, the pregnancy will probably pass on its own. At 8 weeks, it's not huge and it's not massively painful. They will tell you to take over the counter painkillers, monitor the bleeding and rest.

If they need to intervene, again it's not very far along so they will give you some suppositories to help you pass the pregnancy.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Really sorry you're going through this. I had a mmc last year. Discovered it hadnt grown past 5 weeks at a private scan at 8 weeks. Had nhs scan at 9 weeks to confirm. I was told to wait for it to pass at home and come back in 2 weeks. I bled quite heavily for a month in total after the 9 week scan, half way through I went to the hospital and said it was incomplete meaning the sac hadnt passed. It eventually passed after a month and the bleeding stopped pretty much immediately after. I felt awful flushing the sac but as a coping mechanism I had to tell myself that it wasnt a real baby at that stage and I was more annoyed that I had already told my family and had a brilliant reaction video.

I decided to give my body a month off before trying again and got pregnant in the following cycle (currently 38 weeks). It was difficult when trying again as all the excitement I had at first was replaced with worry until I saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks. I had scans every 2 weeks privately until 20 weeks as I was so worried.

Wishing you all the best and the strength to get through it, especially in these times of isolation. I found talking it though with my husband and sister really helpful so hopefully you have people you can discuss with on the phone.
