Hi everyone,
Have posted my progress on forum under 1st trimester - basically i have been having a lot of brown discharge since 5 weeks & 2 episodes of fresh bleeding 5 days apart. Lower abdo pains becoming slightly more frequent (enough to make me stop what i am doing & rub my tum or sit down for a while but they never last longer than 5-10 seconds). Scan at 6+3 showed egg & no baby & i am awaiting an 8 wk scan booked for next thursday.
My partner & i have prepared ourselves for the worse & fear our baby is already lost.
What i'd like to ask is what options were others in similar situations given please? I kinda know i have choice of D&C or wait for natural miscarraige, any idea how long natural may take? Did anyone return to work/normal life whilst waiting for it to happen? Will i know if/when i actually loose the baby?
Sorry if i seem pessimistic (?sp - apologies) but i feel if i set myself up for the worse news then it can only get better eh! Also feel stronger if i know my options as the epu were very unhelpful at the last scan & i don't want to get home & feel alone without any help once they have washed their hands of us (my GP is not much good either).
Thank you in advance to everyone out there, i have found this site a huge help already xxx
