MMC AT 10w5d, D&C scheduled

I had my first prenatal appointment today, and we experienced the worst possible outcome. The ultrasound showed no heartbeat and development had stopped at 7w, I should be 10w5d. I’ve had no bleeding or cramps, and will be having a D&C on Tuesday. We’re devastated. I had a chemical pregnancy in august/September but got pregnant right after in October. These have been my first ever pregnancies, and I’m just heartbroken. Can anyone share positive stories of pregnancy after MMC? I could use some hope right about now💫😞🌈

I'm so sorry you're going through this. 🙁I've had 3 MMC since May 2021. All stopped developing in the 6th week and I'd find out whenever my first ultrasound was scheduled. I'm now 32 weeks with #4 and everything is healthy and great.Don't lose hope. It's really easy to fall into the pit of feeling like things won't get better and you won't get your rainbow, but you will. Grieve as long as you need, and when you're ready, I hope you keep trying 💕🌈

I've had two MMCs and two D&Cs. It can be so devastating; I know how you feel. After my first (MMC at 10 weeks), my doctor asked for me to have at least one cycle, although he preferred two, and then we had the green light to try. We waited after the D&C and first period, and then tried, and got pregnant right away. My son is now 2 and I'm so happy we have him. Had my second MMC at 9 weeks, but was more prepared this time, as we were having ultrasounds since week 6 and the writing was on the wall (growth not as productive as it should be, dates not measuring up). It took us 5 months and now I'm 33 weeks with a baby girl. You are in an awful place right now but there is light ahead.

I’m sorry! I had a 9 week MMC in August had a D&C two days later than 5 weeks later I ovulated & became pregnant right away. I am now 12.5 weeks along! Very healthy. I hope you have a healthy new journey ahead. I know your feelings and it’s awful. Take it day by day.
