Hi all, just wanted to say thank you. I have only posted once (in the 1st trimester section) but have been reading a lot of your posts in this sec over the last few days and it has really helped me come to terms with things.
I would have been 13wks this week but started bleeding sunday and despite all the assurances from friends, family and doctors, I knew something was wrong. Had a private scan Tues which confirmed my fears that I had mc. Went to hospital today to have it confirmed again but felt so much better as the lady how scanned me was a little older and said that statistically, in every family of 2 healthy children there will be 2 mc's and that years ago you wouldn't have done a test until 12wks as they wouldn't have shown anything until then and if in those 3 months you had a period it was just put down to a late period and never really thought of as a baby that had been lost. It just made me feel better as my lo had been lost long since and just have the sac left which is still growing.
Obviously we are devastated but we saw a lovely dr who said it seemed unlikely that i will fully mc naturally and to do a d&c (i think that's what she called it anyway) so will go in on fri for that and then after 8weeks she says we can try again.
I guess I knew a long time ago that it wasn't right (I posted my concerns then) but kept hoping would be ok. Partner is going away with work next wk and I was so worried about being in house alone for a week and brooding over it that we've decided I'll go too so now have a nice holiday in spain to look forward to and guess the 8 wks will fly by after that! Also, my sister is going to try for a baby in the new year so there's every chance that we'll be baby budies if my 2nd try goes ok (and this time I will def not get so excited). Just trying to look on the positive side at the moment and hope everyone else in the same situation can do the same too ...
to you all Lizzie x
