I am so lost....

HI,

I went for my NT scan last wednesday, all had been good, a dating scan at 7 weeks showed everything healthy & good heartbeat, but at the ultrasound we were told our baby had stopped growing at 10weeks5days. We were devastated. They are saying it was from a neural tube defect. I had a D&C on friday morning, and have never felt so empty and lost. Physically i have had minimal bleeding & no cramping but as of yesterday my boobs are killing me with these surges of pain, i know it's all hormones doing there thing......
My ob started me on 5mg Folic acid tablets & i see him for a follow up on thursday.
I can barely stop crying and just am so, so lost. I know it will get better in time but at the moment i just can't see that far ahead. Thanks for listening, just had to write it down, as at times it still feels so surreal that this has actually happened. Hugs to all xx
