I went for my scan today only to get the devastating news that there was no heart beat, We knew before the doctor said it because it looked exactly the same as it did 2 weeks ago.
I am in my 13th week and was told that it only measured 11 weeks and they couldn't find a heart beat. They called it a missed or silent miscarrage. I am going through so many emotions right now I don't know what to think or what to do!
2 weeks ago I had a threatened MC with cramping and bleeding when I had a scan the baby's heart was beating, it must have died shortly after the scan, but the cramping and bleeding stopped and pregnancy symptoms continued.
I've opted to let nature take it's course but i'm worried now that it might take some time and I could get an infection.
I don't think it has fully sunk in as I still had pregnancy symtoms over the last 2 weeks, my boobs are still tender and i'm sure the bump got bigger! Having said that a few things/signs are starting to make more sence now.
We are both devastated, This is one of the most heart wrenching things I've gone through.
Hi there, so sorry to hear your news, it is truly devastating, I have been going through it for over two weeks now and it has been the hardest two weeks of my life.
If you have opted to let it happen naturally I understand it can take 5 or 6 weeks from what i was told (but obviously for some it happens much more quickly) I opted for medical management but in hindsight I may have been better opting for the surgical as I am still bleeding and have pains.
Do you have good family/friends to support you? the people on this forum have been so brilliant, my hubby has been a rock and my friends and family have been great but it helps a lot to talk to ladies who are going through or have gone through this as only they can truly understand how traumatic it all is.
Sending you big and if you need to talk please feel free to pm me.
