Thursday 20th Aug

Started bleeding. Contacted midwife at hospital & said it was implantation bleeding. Bleeding continued but was told to wait for my scan in 4 days. Felt very anxious & scared.

Monday 24th Aug

Was prepared for the worst. Scan showed no heartbeat in baby. Felt so numb. Did not know how to react. Was told it was a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks. Advised to go home & to let it pass naturally. Surgical treatment unavailable due to Covid. Hospital will contact a week later to see if miscarriage was a success.

Monday 31st Aug

A week later & baby has not passed. By this time I was an emotional wreck. Anxiety at its peak. Scared & unsettled. Nurse Advised medical management treatment at home. She gave pills & advice on what to expect.

Friday 04th Sept
