TMFR at 18 weeks

[123whatsmyusername]

Due to severe complications with the baby, DH and I have made the heart-breaking decision to end the pregnancy. I’m terrified of what it will involve and how we’ll cope afterwards. One thing that’s worrying me is that a good friend of mine has a due date the day after ours should be.
Does anybody have any words of wisdom or advice at all?

It's so so hard but you will get through it. I had to tmfr at 26 weeks in October, and it was unbelievably difficult. They will give you a pill and then about 3 days later you go back to be induced. They do this by pills inserted in your cervix (doesn't hurt) You then go into labour, took me 4 pills to properly start. Take all the drugs, it can't hurt your precious baby of course. I was really unsure if I wanted to see her after, but my DH and I were so glad we did. Ask if they can take little hand and foot prints - we look at them every day. Here if you need to ask any more questions and I'm so sorry that you are going through this x

@123whatsmyusername how did you cope afterwards?
