I had a regular doctors appointment yesterday and I mentioned to him that I had spotted a bit the night before. He told me that its normal but he did a mini ultrasound anyhow. He said he didnt see anything which I thought meant anything bad but he said he didnt see anything at all and booked me for an emergancy ultrasound. I spent the next 4 hours waiting and crying having no idea what was going on. I finally went for the ultrasound where I was told that the baby stopped progressing about a week or so ago and it sems to be shrinking(?) Then I was told I would be miscarring in hopefully a couple days. Thats it!!!! no other details , no words of what i can expect, no telling me what i can/should do. I phoned later that day and the doctor told me that if I dont MC in about a week to call him or if i am bleeding really heavily to call him. Yesterday was the worst day of my life.. i cant even begin to explain how I feel. As horrible as this sounds though I dont want my dead baby inside of me for over a week. I feel that I cant really begin my healing. I phoned to ask what I can do, can i take something to induce it. The doctors office said I should wait for it to happen naturally but they would get back to me. its been 3 hours and no call. :cry:
 
with all that i forgot my question... is there anythign I can do to speed up the process?
 
I'm so sorry for your loss :hug:

Dr's can be so clinical and cold sometimes they forget that they're dealing with a person and not a symptom. Phone them back & pester them til they do more to help you
take care
 
Do they have an early pregnancy unit over there? if so ring and pester them for some more support
 
I was given misoprostal to induce my mc.. but my dr did give me that option.. because my body wasnt going to do it naturally.. i can understand about not wanting the baby inside you.. it's terrible. :hug: Im sorry for your loss.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. I would advise going to the docs or hospital and refuse to leave without some help. Surely you have a choice?? XX
 
Oh hun, I'm so sorry. You have enough to deal with as it is, why can't these doctors see that!

I can totally relate to how you feel, I deliverd baby but not the placenta and they left me waiting most of the day waiting for it to happen naturally before doing a D&C, if I had more strength at the time I would have insisted they do the D&C straight away.

I would contact your doctor again and explain how you feel and if you do not want to go through this naturally insist that they do something, if you don't get any joy then try the practice manager or early pregnancy unit as lozzy21 suggested.

I hope this works out the way you want it to hun. As hard as it is to be strong right now hun, don't let them fob you off, you must do what you want / need to do.

Take care of yourself x
