Missed Miscarriage

[SlovesA]

We found out today that our baby died two weeks ago. I should be 8 weeks pregnant but it stopped growing after 6. I have a D&C scheduled for tomorrow and I'm not really sure how I or we are going to feel after. We're still optimistic about the future, and we know that God is with us through all of this...but this just hurts so much.

Has anyone else been through this? Can you tell me what to expect in the next few days?

I have same mental and physical situations like you. I just lost my baby after only 9 weeks pregnancy. And When me and DH knew this, it was next to unbearable situation for us. And as like you I am also so confused that now what to do?

But, now I am just taking my enough care and prepare my self for new pregnancy. This is only the best options for a incomplete mom like us. Every thing will be alright.

I'm right there with you. Last Tuesday went to my 9 week ultrasound only to be told the baby had died at week 6. I was able to avoid D&C with some meds and induced actual miscarriage at home over the weekend. I had my follow up today. Though the weekend was tough, what I'm really struggling with is that I was told that I won't be able to start trying again for 3 cycles. And it may be 2 more months before next cycle begins. I'm feeling sad and frustrated. I know this is all for the health of my and the baby to wait, but I'm feeling so disappointed....

It's funny. I came to this board to write that I'm still not completely over our loss, and I found my first post. So sorry to hear that you two have lost pregnancies as well. A and I lost another in February at 8 weeks after hearing the heartbeat.

The sadness comes and goes. It's been a year since our first loss and 10 months since our second. So far, no luck with conception but we took some time off from actively trying. I think now, we're ready to start again. My Dr. advised that I should lose some weight first so I'm trying to focus on that.

I wish you both God's blessings. I hope there is a child for you both in the near future!

Have a happy new year!
