Today I went for my 12 week scan and was given the awful news that the baby’s heart had stopped at 8 weeks and 2 days. I should have been 12 weeks exactly.
To say I’m devastated doesn’t even begin to cover it. This baby would have been our second and was so wanted. Our daughter is 6 and we had to wait a couple of years due to a medical issue, so to finally get that positive test and get all excited, only to be told during the scan that the baby has died… it’s just awful.
Everything I read online seems to say that tissue usually starts to pass within a couple of days but could take up to 3 weeks. Yet here I am, 4 weeks later, with morning sickness and sore boobs. It was such a shock and I’ve cried so much this afternoon.
I just want it to be over, but the staff at the hospital seemed to be encouraging me to wait and let it happen naturally. I’ve asked for an appointment for medication to speed it up, so I should be picking it up on Wednesday.
Has anyone else had a missed miscarriage which didn’t pass for 4+ weeks? Is this common? How was the pain when it finally happened?
