    Our baby has died

    We went for our 12 week scan today and right away I could tell something was wrong - there was a blob instead of the disco dancing baby I remember from my previous 12 week pg scans.

    Despite pg symptoms continuing and an enlarging tummy (and uterus) the baby died around 7 weeks.

    Now I have to have a d & c.

    This baby wasn't originally planned, and DH & I viewed it initially as a disaster, but now I am sad - had got used to the idea, and was actually quite excited. We had told a few people too - now we have to tell them the bad news.

    Oh Sally, that is sad news and I know just how you feel except my symptoms had disappeared just before the ultrasound. I hope all goes well with your operation and recovery.

    The girls on BB are so supportive and please pop in to the TTC after miscarriage and loss forum whenever you are ready.

    Thanks everyone. I am going for my D & C tomorrow. Still feel shocked. I didn't expect to feel this sad. DH has agreed we will ttc after AF comes. This pg had been a shock, but the idea grew on us.
