First of all I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your little bub. I know it's no consolation but it is natural to feel upset and scared.

When you go to the hospital, the nurse will probably talk to you and ask you some questions about the miscarriage. They'll be trying to work out whether everything's come away naturally or if it will need a little bit of help. They may need to do an ultrasound to check this. Sometimes they do one on top of your tummy, other times they do an internal one (while this is not comfortable and a bit embarrassing, it doesn't hurt).

If it turns out you need help removing the remains of the pregnancy, they'll book you in for a D&C, which is when they put you under general anaesthetic and remove the remaining tissue that way. Because you're "asleep" this doesn't hurt either.

Gem, be honest with the nurse and answer all their questions because they will be trying to help you.

I hope you heal quickly, both physically and emotionally. You'll get a lot of support from the girls on these boards. Unfortunately, when it comes to miscarriage, you're not alone.

Big hugs for you.
