Missed Miscarriage.. What happens next?

Hi ll80,

I'm so sorry for your loss :hugs: It is so devastating finding out that your pregnancy that you thought was going along normally is over

I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks, our bub had died a few weeks previously. I opted for a D&C as well. I had my DD to consider - I was worried about my ability to care for her while I had a natural m/c, and did not want to wait for what might have been weeks for it to happen, afraid to leave the house in case it happened while I was out somewhere.

Physically it was no problem at all - into hospital first thing in the morning and out again a couple of hours later. They only gave me a light general anaesthetic, so had no side effects except for being a bit sleepy that day - but that could have been due to getting no sleep that night because of the emotional stress

Emotionally, I am still dealing with it. It happened in October and it has been a hard road since then, but I think I am starting to come out the other end now. It is very much a step forward, two steps backward process though

Wishing you all the very best xx

Very similar here, I had the D and C done immediately for the same reasons.
I'm really sorry for what your going through, it's absolutely horrible to experience this. I felt so incredibly betrayed by my body for not showing me that something was wrong.
There are plenty of us here who have come through the other side of miscarriage, talk, cry and vent all you need to hun :hugs:
