Missed Miscarriage

I was 11 weeks on Monday and had a bit of spotting yesterday so went for a scan and there was no heartbeat. The baby was only measuring 6 weeks and so it seems that i have had a missed miscarriage.

I have a question for those that have had this, did you still have all your pregnancy symptoms?? I just find it strange that i got ms from weeks 6 till now and had the sore boobs etc too. I was also still getting pos HPTs last week?? Is this normal in this situation??

Thanks

Hi Laura,

Firstly im so sorry to hear that you are going through this.

my second miscarrige was a missed miscarriage, i went for a scan at almost 11wks, ( i was starting to show, had ms, boobs were sore, pos poas test), and baby had died at 6wks.

so yes you can still have all the symptoms, i choose to have a dnc and actually had it done the very next day.

if you need to chat just pm me

{{{hugs}}}

nothing different to add, just wanted to give you big cyber

(((hugs))) Kicker. I too have gone through this and chose to have a D&C the same week. With any luck your pg symptoms will go quickly after that and give you a chance to heal. Really sorry. We'll miss you in the May Mummies.

Aww hun im so sorry

Sorry to hear the mc was so physically difficult, that's really rough. Hope you can go home soon.

Hi Kicker, I am so sorry about your loss. I have just gone thru the same thing. I started bleeding on Wed afternoon at work (5th Nov) and was taken straight to hosp - they then sent me home because I was 'stable'. Thursday morning we got an urgent appointment for a scan and found out that the baby had died at 8 weeks (I thought I was nearly 12 weeks) I was not able to get an appointment for a D&C until Sat morn and I thought I would have miscarried naturally but I didn't and on Sat morn I had the D&C. Like you I find it hard to understand why my body took so long to register that the baby was no longer alive, the ms had stopped but all the other syptoms, sore breasts, tiredness, cravings I still had all these.
It's a very tough time and I hope that you are coping okay.
All the best, Jo xx

Kicker I think you got crap nurses. They treated you with nowhere near the care and respect you deserve.

Not all nursing staff are like that. When I was in Chch Womens earlier this year for MC we were really impressed with the staff. Except for a couple of people (the cold, blunt woman who did my ultrasound and the orderly who spent ages telling me about his great parenting techniques until finally asking what I was there for) the doctors and nurses we saw were all consistently caring, respectful and fantastic.

We felt really looked after and it was very healing. Those nurses you saw have made an already awful experience much harder. If you have the energy I think it would be worth letting the hosp know, if not making a proper complaint.

Hi Goldy,

Sorry to hear that you are going through this too. All my bleeding has stopped but it did take a couple of weeks and we still havent done the deed as the hospital suggested waiting until two weeks after it had stopped.

I have to agree that it was quite painful too, i guess it is like the early stages of labour in that your cervix needs to dilate.

I hope that your bleeding stops again, but i think it is normal to stop/start a few times as long as its not excessive.

I hope you get back to normality in the physical sense soon.
