im waiting for my natural miscarriage

[Truman]

Hi Shon. I was not quite so far along as you but we are similar age I'm 40. I am still coming to terms with my loss. I woke up on Friday feeling "unwell" bit of tummy ache and red blood when I wiped (sorry tmi) we went to A&E doc was brilliant but said he thought I was m/c they sent me for emergency scan and after both external & internal they told us there was no heart beat and that the baby had died approx 9wks (would have been 12wks today).

Today we went to Bridlington with my partner and son. I was a nice day and I felt we needed to take lil bean with us. Anyway I haven't had any symptoms to speak of before now but the bleed has started. I don't know what I want to say but I am so sad words are just not enough. This would have been my partners 1st baby and after taking care of us for 11 years I don't know what to say to console him, (I know he is being strong for me), ourchildren love him dearly and he would have made a brilliant father. I'm sorry for waffling and sorry for you loss, for everyones losses. Take care and remember this happens for a reason and although I have never been a great believer I am sure this is all part of Gods great plan. Our babies were too perfect for this world and God has room for our angels.

Shon, so sorry to hear about your baby - I dont know if a 13 week baby will be the same experience as me, (8 week 5 day baby) but I'm thinking it will probably be a lot bigger, and with more blood. Mine might have been just a little bigger than a quail egg, and smaller than a normal egg. so the pain was bearable, but I did lose lots of blood and was dizzy for a few days. However, I got my energy back on the 3rd and 4th day after it passed, and I was able to do some sporting clays shooting and do some archery for 3 hours... but I was still bleeding like a normal period.

From the time my baby died, it took my body almost 6 weeks to expell it! (and no bleeding or cramps til the day before it came out) So I had to wait a long time...

Hi there-
I'm new to this forum and really have found it therapeutic and helpful. I found out at 8W that there was no heartbeat and decided to wait for a natural m/c.
I'm now at 9W and still waiting.
I have twinges in my pelvis and cramping but no spotting yet. I've been trying to read everything I can to find out how long I'll have to wait and found a very good article on "expectant management" and see that most will complete in two to three weeks.

Just search this phrase "Outcome of expectant management of spontaneous first trimester miscarriage: observational study"

This helped me, so I hope it helps others with the wait.

bumping this older thread because 3 weeks along I'm still waiting to miscarry my baby.

I started spotting on 3rd feb which was on and off for a couple of days - had scan on 5th Feb (10 weeks) which confirmed baby had stopped growing after previous scan at 8+4. opted for natural miscarriage - had bleeding with some small clots for a week - more than normal period but pain not too bad - scan 2 weeks after the one that confirmed miscarriage showed that pregnancy sac and embryo were still there, although sac was smaller and had collapsed. Still waiting for any more bleeding - had some crampy like pain a couple of days ago on and off but nothing too serious. Just want to speed it up now but they said there was nothing I could do....

Hi Kelly, I'm miscarrying at the moment a mmc at 9-10 weeks... I started bleeding 4 days ago that started as very light spotting but gradually got worse and worse... I have had some small clots and one or two larger ones but waiting to pass the worst of it... the cramps have just started to get worse... I had a scan two weeks ago at 7-8 weeks which showed an empty sac measuring only 6 weeks... another scan yesterday showed the sac had decreased in size and was now a blood clot that I would need to pass along with all the other stuff...
I wish you the very best honey, post back to let us know how you are getting on xxx
