    Sorry for your loss.
    I'd keep the films.

    A blighted ovum is basically where conception has occurred, there was an implant of the fertilised egg but the baby didn't develop.

    It can also be called a "chemical pregnancy". It is nothing you did, it is just an accident and no reason to fear that subsequent pregnancies will not be successful.

    Sweetie I still have the films from a miscarriage I had 10 years ago. I will never throw them out. It's not weird. My mother looked after them for me for years because I couldn't look at them until after my other children were born

    I'm so sorry for your loss, it's so unfair

    I don't think it's weird LP. I wish I had mine. My Ob said that about me too, but on my scan there is a real baby. it's not a sac, or a group of cells.......
    You keep em if you need.

    I ahve all my films from all my scans.. I don't look at the ones of the bubs I lost ( 2 mc) but they are there..

    My first mc was a blighted ovum. I hate the term "abortion" On my reports it says Missed Abortion. It sounds terrible to me..
