Waiting to miscarry. Again. :( Help?

Question

Got pregnant in March, dates look like we conceived 13 days after a miscarriage at 5+2.

At 5 weeks we saw sac & yolk sac, at 7+1 we saw baby, right on track with heart rate of 152.  On Thursday, which would have been 9+1 we saw baby, measuring 8+2, with no more heartbeat.  We were told that the baby had passed and we could schedule d&c, use the pills to induce the miscarriage or wait 2-4  weeks to see if I miscarry naturally.  We chose option 3 for now, my midwife recommended as the healthiest/most natural.

Has anyone been through this? I'm devastated and so angry.  Being pregnant, with all the symptoms and knowing the baby is dead is just cruel.

How long did you wait to miscarry?

Do you know of anything I can do or eat that might help start the process?  I had one spot of red blood yesterday and some mild cramps but nothing since.  I can't even explain how I feel.  I cut 5 inches off my hair (myself). I'm losing it. :(

Answer

found out today I MC am having D&C Thursday 5-28-15 😰😤😢😭😡🙏🏿

Answer

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I lost my 4th child on December 23rd, 2014 at 11 weeks. I went to the ER bc I was spotting and we learned that the baby had no heartbeat. I chose to let my body do what it was supposed to do. I miscarried and passed the baby and everything the next day (Christmas Eve). I think you made the right decision to let you body do what it naturally will do. Just be sure that you don't go anywhere for too long since it can happen at anytime. I passed large blood clots and a lot of blood. Be sure you drink plenty of water when it happens and make sure you rest. Be sure to follow up with your dr afterwards also. It was the most difficult thing I have ever delt with but I'm glad I was able to be at home instead of some hospital.

RIP Baby T

Answer

I miscarried a week ago.  The week before I had an ultrasound heard heartbeat and saw baby.  The next week I out of no where came bright red blood when I wiped and then came cramps and within 12 hrs I passed everything naturally.  I'm still spotting over a week later.  I would have been 10 weeks today. I'm so sorry for your loss and know you're not alone.

Answer

So sorry to all of you dealing with miscarriages.  It's just horrible :(

I'm also waiting to miscarry after just finding out Tuesday that there was no fetal heartbeat at 7 weeks.  Nothing at my follow up ultrasound on Friday either.  They're going to do one more on Tuesday after the holiday just to be 100% sure, but it looks pretty bleak at this point.

My husband and I have a trip booked to Paris, leaving next Saturday, and clearly it's the last thing on my mind right now.  I don't want to rush into any decisions about how to handle things because of the trip , and on the other hand, I'm horrified at the thought of miscarrying on the plane or overseas.

This limbo is the worst. No symptoms of miscarriage at all, and still feel very much pregnant. Aghhh

Answer

I had a miscarriage last October. I found out at 9 weeks that there was no heart beat and the baby hadn't grown past 6/7 weeks.

Once I found out about the miscarriage, it took a week for the actual miscarriage to start. I elected to go natural, because a D&C has potential complications that can cause infertility. I know it's rare, but that's still too much for me.

I ended up going to the hospital due to the pain, and they gave me Misoprostol.  I never had to take it though, as the next morning I passed everything and the bleeding slowed down and the pain was gone.

I'm very sorry this is happening to you :(.
