Missed miscarriage

UK 🇬🇧- Been told that we’ve had a missed miscarriage today after going to a private scan. Should have been 10 weeks but the pregnancy stopped at around 6. I’ve had no signs of this whatsoever. We’ve been booked into the hospital on Monday. Any idea what to expect in terms of how long recovery will be?
