Missed miscarriage at 19 weeks

[cheekymummy89]

Hi everyone, so yesterday I attended my 20 week scan and was given the devastating news that our babies heartbeat has stopped. There was no obvious reasons as to why this happens and I have been offered an investigation if we would like to know. I now have the hard few days coming up where I will need to attend hospital and deliver our beautiful little angel. Has anyone ever been through this that could offer us any advice. This is not my first child this is baby number 4, all three previous healthy pregnancies.

Hiya,

I’m so so sorry for your loss, I had two healthy pregnancies and had a late miscarriage with my third at 17 weeks, we decided to go ahead with the investigation but to be honest didn’t really help us, I wasn’t prepared for all the stuff after, post Morton’s, funerals etc. I can totally relate to everything that you’re saying,sending big hugs xx more than happy to chat and help you and know what you are going through xx

I’m so sorry, we found out our first baby’s heart had stopped beating at a similar stage last June. Happy to give any advice or answer any questions you may have. Thinking of you x

Sending all my love to you. I haven’t been in your situation but I’m currently 17 weeks and I’m very anxious.

I just want you to know that my love, thoughts and prayers are with you. Sending strength xxx

@cheekymummy89 I am so sorry for your loss, I had a late MMC at 16 wks with twins last July. I tried to take it a hurdle at a time, e.g. the birth, then the cremation and then the investigation. Hopefully you will have access to a bereavement midwife. I was recommended to read a book called "saying goodbye" which I find really helpful. It gives advice on each day after loss and also helped me to validate some of the things I was feeling. Just do what you feel you want/need to at this time. Xx
