What do I need?

Hey ladies,
We found out yesterday our baby had never developed. We should have been 8 weeks almost 9. We are taking cytotec this weekend to help the miscarriage progress. We are completely devastated and I cannot stop crying.
My question is, what would be helpful to have around when we go through this? We have a heating pad and our doctor gave us zofran to help with the possible nausea. Is there anything that would help with the pain? Or anything that has helped you ladies?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm so sorry for your loss, it's devasting I know, I'm just about come to the end of my miscarriage (I'm still bleeding over a week later), was supposed to be 9+6 and scan showed 5+5, there was a hb but I miscarried the following day so something was obviously wrong. I took paracetamol for the pain, it wasn't too bad though, like having bad period cramps. Have lots of pads handy as you do get through a lot.
There' not a huge amount you can do to prepare physically, being mentally prepared is the hard part.
I hope this helps a little and that the process isn't too bad for you x
