I am going through exactly the same thing. Diagnosed with a missed miscarriage today. I had my dating scan 4 weeks ago and was told I was 10 weeks pregnant but that seemed two weeks out by my dates. But everything was healthy.
Last sunday night I started prodcuing some dark brown discharge. This continued over the next few days with minor cramps so I saw my GP Thursday morning who said my cervix was still closed but if the bleeding increased to go to A&E. Last night bleeding was worse so went to hospital where they said the cervix was still closed but there was some clotting so I might be miscarrying.
Had a scan today that showed the baby stopped growing the day after my dating scan. Not given the option of any surgical intervention but instead told to wait for 10 days and see if it comes on its own, and then go back for a check and see where we are.
Having just done some research on missed miscarriages I am dreading being stuck with these cramps and bleeding for the next 10 days. I am in pain and am panicing about work and my own business. I feel vacant and a bit empty. OH is in shock and doesn't want to talk about it anymore tonight. I need someone to talk to.

I was so pleased with myself for having almost no pregnancy symptoms and just carrying on with life as normal, and all that time my baby had died

I had lots of sytptoms eg sickness and i had a blighted ovum(that really surprised me). I was also convincin myself that i felt movement (whick annoyed me as i felt stupid when i found out that there was only a sac

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. It is a horrible, horrible time. Just do what you need to do - sleep, cry, talk, scream - it all helps. I'm thinking of you

I know how you feel about not having many pregnancy symptoms and then finding out that the baby had stopped developing and died. It's awful and I am still very upset and angry and really don't want to go back to work feeling like this. All I want is not to feel this way any more, but not ever forget that we did have a baby, for a short time. My OH is working flat out, overtime in the evenings and all this weekend and all I want to do is have lots of hugs from him and talk about what has happened and how we are both feeling-which will happen eventually when he stops working so hard.
Take care and thinking about you

Me too, I thought cos of my age (39 this year) that I was going to find it really difficult, I was really tired all the time but had no other symptoms and was so pleased and feeling really well and no sickness, now I just think the reason was that my baby just wasnt growing - it is a horrible thought!

Its awful to reflect back on these things-I know as I have been doing it alot recently.
The one thing I am trying to get over is not blaming myself for what happened. I look back and I was working really hard and under a huge amount of presure at work and feeling very stressed, I'm over weight and I'm 38 and certainly not getting any younger. I also know from the IVF that my eggs are of a very poor quality. I'm trying not to beat myself up about it, but struggling.
The one good thing out of this is that i have found others who really understand and can share. I feel like I'm not alone in this any more.

So sorry for your loss

I know, I have found comfort in this forum, it really does help to talk to others going through this awful awful experience. have you got any children? I have a daughter who is 15 this year, had no problems before this and it came as a big shock!

sorry for ur loss take care xxx

No, unfortunately I don't have any children. I didn't meet my OH until I was in my late 20's and he was still at uni so the time wasn't right to settle down. I got pregnant within 6 months of us being married, which resulted in my first miscarrage. The i have been throught 1 cycle of IVF at the beginning of this month-which was unsucessful. And now a natural pregnancy, that again ended in miscarriage. I am going to have further tests now-what about you, are they investigating any further?
