My sadness :(

So after all I've been through with this pregnancy yesterday it was confirmed baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks 2 days so just after my last scan sad
I woke up yesterday and noticed a little bit of blood on my knickers, sorry tmi so I rang my doctors and got an appointment and also rang my scan place to see if I could bring my scan forward but unfortunately they couldn't so I rang all the scan places in the city to see if I could get an appointment and managed to get one at the private hospital.
Feeling very sad but really from the first scan where dates didn't add up it was a bit of a sign that things weren't going well I was just trying to stay positive.
Overnight I started bleeding more and have been in a lot of pain. I go back to my doctor today and yesterday they mentioned giving me some medication to help my body to get rid of everything but then the scan tech mentioned I may need a D&C. Does anyone have any advice on either of the methods to help a miscarriage?
Thankyou to all that have helped me with advice and support over my short pregnancy I've really appreciated your support.
My girls are devastated but understand baby wasn't strong enough to grow.

I'm so sorry for your loss sad

I would try and let the process happen naturally if you can bear it. I have had both natural miscarriages and a D & C and found I recovered back to my normal cycle a lot faster after having let the process happen naturally.

But it is a horrible thing and the medication the doctor is talking about will help your uterus contract and speed the process up.

Take time to look after yourself, and your family.

Everybodies thoughts will be with you.

I'm so sorry that this is happening to you.

I wish i could say something that would make everything better.

Sending you a hug.

Wish i could help you more.

I am so sorry things are turning out the way the are. I had my fingers crossed all was going to be ok wit your baby.
I have had 2 M/C in the last 12 months. One in September at 10 weeks which happened naturally over a period of 3 weeks and I also miscarried at 8 weeks last week and chose to have a D/C this time. They also sent the embryo off for tests. It has been a lot less messy and the bleeding is very light, still had a couple days of bad pain/contractions but it was easier this time after the D/C. However there is always the risk of getting an infection or damage to your uterus from the D/C. I don't know which would be better for you but just weigh up the risks and what which one will be best for you at this time.

Thankyou sweeties for your lovely messages.
I'm in tears now why is this happening to me. I know so many women go through this and I'm in so much sadness for their loss as well as it is unfair when all you want is a baby. I feel so fortunate to have my 4 beautiful kids but so sad for this loss. Oh and I had one comment from the scan tech which was at least you have other children. Yeah I know I do but it was still a new pregnancy which was so much wanted and loved.
We will be trying again once my body recovers. Do any of you ladies know if medication is used or a D&C if the recovery time is longer before you can TTC again?
I will speak to my doctor today and see what they think of trying to miscarry naturally.
Thankyou ladies smile xxxx

I'm so sorry. I have been reading your posts but have not replied before. I have had both a natural and a d&c. And really to me it totally depends on you. For me I had my first at 10wks and bub was measuring at very close to that. I chose to have a d&c as I had no signs of miscarriage (no bleeding, cramping). And also I couldn't stand the thought of passing my bub and seeing it. I bled very lightly for a few days then got AF around 3wks later My other was at around 6wks and was natural. I bled heavily for a week with lots of clots (sorry tmi but better to know). It's going to be hard either way you choose but I would choose natural at the early stage again if it happened to me.

Bigs hugs to you at this awful time.

I recovered really quickly physically and we tried again both times after I got AF back. I waited one cycle to get things back on track but my OB told me I didn't have to wait longer than that.

Oh babes! I'm so sorry.. this isn't fair!

I don't know about the meds or D&C as my 3 mc's have all been natural.. my cycle went back to normal and 2 months after my 2nd mc, we conceived DD!

I wish I could give you a big hug! I'm so sorry, ill be thinking of you are your family Xx

oh no sad im so sorry, my heart breaks for you. after all you have been through recently this is so unfair.

if i was there id make you a nice cuppa and draw a bath and give you a great big hug. strength and love to you and your family 'babes'.

lean on your girls, they sound like very loving sensitive girls and what strength and compassion they possess to understand such a sad event in the way they do.

as far as D+cs and medications i cant help, but dont let any doctors push you into any one decision that your not sure about, think about it and do what you feel is best for you not only physicaly but emotionally too.

I have no advice but just want to say i'm so very very sorry xx

Aww hun..sorry for your loss *GBH* xo
