We have just been for our 20 week scan and found the awful news that we lost our baby around the 15 week mark. We are heartbroken and so confused at the moment. I did not think I would find myself posting here, especially as we had a slight bleed at 14 weeks and had an u/s to be reassured all was okay.

I am booked in for a D&C on Wednesday, but wanted to know if we are able to ask for the babies remains so is nothing left after this procedure? My sister also lost 2 angel babies, one at 17 weeks and 1 at 15 weeks - but she gave birth to both and was able to bury them. As this is my first pregnancy I think I would find going into labour too traumatic - but also want to know what to expect from the D&C - and if we are able to take the remains?

Any advice would be of great comfort. Thanks
