So I went in for my first appointment and ultrasound today, was supposed to be 9 weeks but found out I had lost the baby around about 8weeks. I have had no bleeding or cramping, am still feeling nauseous, and all the pregnancy symptoms, so it came as a shock. Even though I also had a feeling something was wrong, I dismissed it as anxiety. They gave me the usual wait and see options vs D&C, I’m leaning towards the 2nd because I want to heal and move on, plus I’m still having pregnancy symptoms and am miserable, but I am naturally having some seconds thoughts.

This was my first pregnancy and I was excited, so I’m also struggling with the loss. Any words of encouragement or advice from those who have been there?

If you went the D&C route how did it go, and how long before your cycle returned to normal?
