Oh Rosie I'm so sorry to hear what happened

I didn't have to make the decision you have because I miscarried during the early hours so by the time I got to the hospital for my scan I already knew what the result would be. I think my pregnancy had ended around 4 weeks before I miscarried, but then it all happened naturally quite quickly. I thought the sonographer was an absolute cow for saying 'the good news is your womb is empty' - not good news for me, considering that 24 hours earlier i hadn't even known I might miscarry.

But, she meant good news in that I could go home now, and didn't need any further treatment.

I don't know anyone who's needed treatment, so can't comment on that.

Fingers crossed for you, I hope 2010 is a better year.

I'm so sorry Rosie. I have no experience of a D&C but my friend had one and said she preferred it to miscarrying naturally (she has lost four babies). I miscarried naturally and it was pretty horrendous. Glad you have someone looking after you.

I am so sorry to hear your news today. As I mentioned before on this thread I had a missed miscarriage in april- found out at 12 week scan that baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks. I had an ERPC (a d&C) 2 days later. The op was fine, it was just emotionally that is was hard. If you would like to PM me please do.

Big hugs xx

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

I too have lost a child. At my 12 week scan they discovered the baby had died at 8 wks 4 days. I had no pain or bleeding so it was a complete and utter shock. Nothing can prepare you for that news. I had a D&C the following day.

I struggled to come to terms with my loss and although I returned to work after a couple of weeks, it was so hard. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be pregnant colleagues or people showing off their newborns. There were many occasions where I would have to rush off to the toilets to cry.

Some weeks later I discovered the Miscarriage Association. They have a helpline which you can ring if you would like to talk to someone. They can also send you leaflets or suggest books you can read which may give you some comfort or help you to come to terms with your loss. It may take months or years - just allow yourself as much time as you need. The MA really helped me and put me in touch with a local woman who had a similar experience.

My loss was 12 years ago and I now have a healthy son and daughter whom I absolutely adore. I'll never know why my first child died, whether it was a boy or a girl, but I still think about him/her, especially at key times such as the expected due date.

I wish you well and hope that 2010 brings you some joy.
