11wk m/c, what to expect?

[toomanyshoes]

I really don't want another D&C for many reasons, I just find them so cold and invasive, I have no one to take me then pick me up.

So what can I expect from a natural m/c if the fetus died at around 11wks?

What are my options with what comes out?

Sorry to sound so morbid but at this point I just need practical info/help.

I am so sorry that your angel couldn't stay!

hunni, when I miscarried at 13wks I needed a D&C due to retained placenta, sometimes it's just unavoidable. So sorry you are going through this, I'm here for you if you need to talk xxxx.

I'm so sorry darl

At 9 weeks I passed a few golf ball sized clots along with lots of smaller ones. I bled heavily for at least a week, then it slowly tapered off over another week. I ended up with an infection about a week after it all stopped too. My baby had passed some time before this though.

I hope all goes as well as can be expected

I Pm,d you honey...

I found out at 9 weeks that my baby had passed at 6 weeks and i opted for a D&C....i have heard both sides...for me personally i didnt want to wait any longer. I have heard good stories about passing naturally as well as some very painful ones and alot of bleeding over weeks. I think it just depends on the circumstances. I think it can sometimes take a while for everything to come out. I think the bigger and older the baby is i think the more you will experience and maybe bigger clots etc.

Can no one take some time of work like a partner or family member or friend if you decide to go for the D&C..?

I am thinking of you and i hope you can find you're answer. Im sorry for you're loss

Nope no one to take me at all, we live on the central coast, closet family is my mum in Sydney but 1, she doesn't know 2, I dont like asking her for anything and 3, I don't want the "its for the best" speech. I really don't want to ask AH either (a..hole).

I've done a couple of 9wk m/c at home so I'll wait and see what happens over the next 24-48 hrs.

Thanks again.

[Melbournemumma]

I'm so sorry

I have no experience. Monitor yourself and go to the hospital if needs be.

Again I'm really so very sorry that this has happened.

Hey Hun,
I had one at almost 12 weeks actually there was no sign of my body m/c & like you I didn't want a d&c so I opted for taking some tablets called ru486. I was at the point I just wanted it over with, it had been weeks of up n down & waiting so I went through the Marie Stopes Clinic.
They told me I'd have cramping like AF and m/c clots etc, thinking it wouldn't be too bad that's the road I went down.
It was really painful for me, I had vomiting & the runs and severe cramping for 8hrs (sorry if this is tmi or too graphic but I'd assume I would have been in just as much pain m/c naturally).
If it happened again I'd get the d&c. Everyone is different & you may not go through the same experience but I just wanted to give you mine and send you lots of hugs. I know how hard it is.
I can't see what suburb you're in, im on my phone, but if your in Melb perhaps I can go with you.
Hugs hun xxx

When I m/ced at home, I ended up at hospital because of the pain... I don't know what I passed because it happened while I was on the toilet...
Goodluck honey, sorry I couldn't help more... Thinking of you xox

be careful with the bleeding hun, you'll need to call an ambulance if it gets really heavy, best wishes
