MMC and flying

Couldn’t scroll past this without commenting, I don’t have any advice on the flying, but I also went for a private scan today which confirmed no heartbeat so I’m thinking of you xx

Thinking of you 💕💕💕

So sorry to hear 💜If you’re able to maybe go for a private scan tomorrow? That way you will have answers and can decide if you still want to fly

They can’t get me in tomorrow for an NHS scan. Just after peoples experiences or thoughts really. So torn xx

I'm really sorry you're going through this. If it was me I would postpone the flight to see the NHS team to see if there's anything they can do or maybe the private scan missed something. I'm in need of a holiday myself not having been away for 4 years now so totally get the need for a break. But I would be too worried the whole trip if I didn't get that reassurance from the NHS. I know it's last minute to try and rearrange flights but I'd personally look into it. Thinking of you ❤️

So sorry to hear you’re experiencing this. I unfortunately had a missed miscarriage last year. I also had a early scan where I should have been 8 weeks. There was no heartbeat and measured at only 5 weeks. I was so fortunate to have availability at the early pregnancy unit near me quickly, but my experience was that the NHS would only do 2 scans (at least a week apart) before diagnosing a missed miscarriage (was told some doctors may not sign off until a 3rd scan is done if there’s any uncertainty). They also didn’t want to accept the private scan as the first scan. I had 2 scans over 2 weeks at the hospital before I was given my options on medical intervention. My body didn’t naturally miscarry but everyone’s body will be different. I think it more depends on your mental health and if you will be able to enjoy your time away as not knowing can be tough. For me, having to have a week in between to confirm felt like the longest time ever. Sending hugs your way ❤️

I’ve got a little one and I know he is so excited so think that will get me through to be honest but completely get what you are saying. The early pregnancy team said to me it normally is what the private scans say and didnt mention doing more than one scan so not sure. 😩

You’ve just got to do what feels right for you and your family x I think personally I would still go, but there is absolutely no right or wrong answer! Mine didn’t tell me all of that until I was there having the first scan but it’s understandable to be 100% certain there is no change between the scans

I’m sorry this has happened to you. I had a missed miscarriage last year just before I was due to go on holiday. Scan at 9+4 showed baby stopped growing at 6+2 and no heartbeat. I still went on holiday (although it was a driving through Europe holiday rather than flying) but all I wanted to do was leave the country with my little family and escape everything that had happened. Luckily I was fitted in for surgery 3 days before we were leaving so the worst of it was over but I was still bleeding and cramping while we were away. But I’m so glad I went, just being in a bubble with my partner and little boy for a week was exactly what I needed x

Personally I'd still go. It took the nhs just under 2 weeks to book me in for a scan after my mcc which was annoying but I knew I'd lost them (i experienced bleeding) and no one could stop it from happening just confirm what I already knew x

I’m just sending love to you and @Beth O’Connor. It’s so so hard. I would probably go on the holiday and get away from it all. But as others have said, there’s no right or wrong here, whatever is best for you xx

I’m So sorry you are going through this sending u love 💕 personally I would go away especially flying as you could bleed really bad and end up in hospital over there , who would look after your little one If this was to happen will your insurance cover this ? Just a few things to think about hunni xx

Thank you all. Luckily we are going with my mom and dad and after asking a few people. Friends in the profession included I think we will go xxx

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. But I feel you should still go and try to enjoy as best as you can, you can have a scan as soon as back and see what’s what, I wish you the best and ultimately do what’s best for you and your family xx
