Unfortunately the statistics have caught up with me. I had a 10 week scan this morning and the baby died at 8 weeks. I always knew that she had a miserable chance of survival, but I honestly thought I'd be one of the lucky ones. It wasn't to be.

I’m so sorry.
Regarding the way forward, I would personally be inclined to take the drugs. The longer it goes on, imo, the harder it becomes mentally. Waiting turned into medical management for me.

I’m so sorry this happened to me around that time too. There is a miscarriage thread on here which really helped me.

I had my booking in appointment tomorrow and my midwife said decaf is fine. There is a bit of caffeine in them, but I think you’d have to have quite a few to get over the limit!

So sorry I had a missed miscarriage, baby had died at nearly 8 weeks but I didn’t find out until my 12 week scan (was actually 13 weeks) so it had been a good 5 weeks. The brain is an incredible thing and that night I started bleeding, apparently it’s quite common once you find out for things to start happening within a few hours-days.
It was really light at first but I bled for I think 7-10 days (this was a few years ago) and baby finally came.
It’s completely up to you what path you choose, I hope you have some support irl xx

Thank you, that's good to hear. I actually read the pamphlet they gave me then immediately deleted that portion of my post as I'd decided to go naturally. So this is useful information

This morning I felt pregnant, on the way home I ripped off my seasick bands and I just don't feel pregnant anymore I'm hoping my brain starts to kick into gear! Good luck everyone

Getting your nails done is okay, colouring your hair is okay, drinking coffee is okay, especially if you only have 1 or 2 a day. I recommend you book Expecting better by Emily Oster, I found it the most helpful when everyone around me was scaring me about every little thing. And congratssss

After my gender reveal was ruined last week by my boss, I've come in today after a week off and my lovely work pals decorated my desk with boy banners, boy balloons and boy gifts

I have mixed feelings about my baby’s gender being out there already .. I wanted to keep it a surprise. Hubby let it slip to his family by accident on Friday and my mum drove me up to hospital last night and I accidentally said ‘I have felt him move today at least’ so I went and ruined that for myself

At what point do I contact the gp? Currently 4 weeks so still super early and I don’t want to jump the gun on things and jinx it!

It depends on how you do it in your area. In my council area in Scotland, we don't contact the GP at all. We fill in a form online for the council areas midwife NHS team and they contact us. I found out at 7 weeks and got a call at 8 weeks but they didn't see me for an online call until maybe week 10. I've never had any contact with my GP yet. But I don't know if that's specific to my area or not. To be honest, even my online call was just going through my details and I didn't really speak to anyone properly and get checked until my 12 week scan.

I contacted my Gp at 6 weeks (when I found out!) and they referred me to the midwives and I heard back from them saying they would contact me to arrange a booking appt between 8-10 weeks, then I got a letter at 8 weeks for my 12wk scan, booking appt at 8+4. Xx

Okay thank you, I think I’ll hold off for a week or so then!
 
Hahahahaha I know it's shocking on us females, it really is ! I am struggling to do food shopping in general, everything just makes me want to vomit !

I hope you can like gravy again because it is beautiful stuff! Haha

I had a friend who could smell the cold air on her husband when he'd come back in from walking the dog in the morning... So weird!
That's me ! The cold air literally makes me gag ! Eyes watering and everything.

I recognise you from the TTC thread! Congratulations. I just filled out the self referral form on the midwife page for my area. No need to go through GP

How do people sleep on these wards honestly

Several people snoring away loudly and I managed about 30mins before being woke up by loud talking.
