Expectant miscarriage

I’m/was 8W but I was told on Tuesday that there is no longer a heartbeat and the embryo is half the size it was a week and a half ago. The hospital gave me the option of waiting naturally, taking a pill or having a medical procedure. I decided to wait naturally but book myself in to take a pill of if it doesn’t happen by Monday. I haven’t got any pain or bleeding yet. Just feel like I’m in limbo. This is my first miscarriage. Any advice?

Just take it day by day having a missed miscarriage is awful I’m so sorry for your loss have plenty of rest and just grieve your way x

The waiting is the worst part 😪 thats what mine was i was supposed to be 10 weeks but baby stopped growing at 8wks 2 days... gave it 2 weeks after... and it started 1 week later... it was worth the wait... I've heard so many things about the pills... prayers your body does it natural. It takes time... prayers for you! 🙏

Im so sorry for your loss. Those are the hardest words to hear, that little one in heart has stopped. Let yourself grieve in your own way, and just know that little felt nothing but love. I was in a similar situation, and chose the wait and go naturally, but after a week of waiting with no sign of things happening my mental health couldn't cope any longer and I opted for the surgical procedure. If you feel that you need to change and go with a different process, speak with your health care provider and ask their advice. There's no right or wrong way, it's what you feel comfortable with.

I'm so sorry it's truly the worst. I've been through it 3 times.

So sorry you are going through this. It is an awful situation to come to terms with then you have further difficult decisions to make. Be sure to talk about it to anyone you’re comfortable sharing these feelings with and know you’re not alone as there will always be someone here who will be willing to listen. Sending love to you.
