Trigger warning - mmc

[Milamight]

I'm not sure why I'm writing this but I am utterly devastated and shocked. I went for my scan at nearly 14 weeks. Had an earlier scan a couple of weeks ago and all fine. Yesterday, I was told my baby has no heartbeat and has died, they cant say when
. I am just in shock and so is my husband. I feel awful that I just had no idea. I still feel pregnant and I just feel so empty. I have to go back today and discuss whats next. It sounds awful but I just want it to be gone now. I kept waking up all night thinking it was a dream. We desperately want a baby and my husband has already spoken about trying again but I feel we are going to be so scared after this. Please give me some hope of subsequent pregnancies and tell me it will get better. 🙏 I feel so lost 😞

It will get better, I promise. This happened to me October 2020 and was the hardest thing I've ever been through. It's such a shock when you find out and my heart goes out to you. In October 2022 I had a baby girl who is nearly 8 months old. I found the first I'd say 20 weeks of the new pregnancy tricky and didn't quite believe it would all be ok but it was.
Sending you love

Should say Oct 2021 I had my new girl

I am so sorry. It’s truly a horrible and devastating experience. I lost a baby after seeing a good heartbeat and all looking fine on scans prior. Heart stopped inexplicably at 11.1 weeks when I had a MMC.

I know right now it feels so awful, but I just wanted to say I got pregnant with my beautiful rainbow daughter a few weeks later. She is now 4 years old.

You are going through the hardest part right now, but things will get better.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's incredibly hard.
I found out I'd miscarried about a month ago when I should've been 10 weeks, I was preparing to tell family the good news and instead was telling them about this loss instead.
The range of emotions is wild and you'll likely still have enough pregnancy hormones to test positive for a few weeks which also means you may have ongoing pregnancy symptoms which is a complete kick in the teeth.

I'd been bleeding for a week and actually felt a sense of relief when it was confirmed, at least I knew what I was dealing with. For the first week, I was kind of numb, reeling at how hard it had been to get the NHS to confirm what was going on, I actually got a private scan in the end as I couldn't cope with the waiting. Then I was just heartbroken for a few weeks. Currently I'm struggling to imagine actually having kids and questioning if I even want them but I'm sure that's just a protective mechanism. It's hard when people say I'll soon be pregnant again because a) that's not guaranteed, b) that just means I could miscarry again and c) it won't be a happy pregnancy, I won't get that again, it will be nervy and stressful. I've mourned that too, the happy, excitement of my first pregnancy even though I was cautious and knew bad things can happen.

Take care of yourself, be gentle and give yourself all the time you need.

(Sorry for the essay)

Thank you for the messages and I'm so sorry you had to go through this too. I'm really struggling and just feel so empty 😞 xxx

I'm so sorry. This happened to me in October last year at 19 weeks. It's such a horrible shock. I thought nothing could ever solve the hurt but time has been a great healer.

The good news is, I was pregnant again by February. Currently 17+3 with a little boy and everything is looking good.

I'm so sorry. I found the Worst Girl Gang Ever really good, they have an Instagram account and support groups on Facebook.
