Awww i'm so sorry for your loss hun I know you must be scared witless but to be honest with you all you can expect is a slightly heavier than normal period and maybe a few cramps my advice to you would be when /if the cramps do set in then just light a few candles and get into a nice warm bath and though it will be hard try to relax this will help if you do get cramps.

Also if you get a lot of clotting during the bleed then phone your gp he will then advice you as to what to do next.

Good luck hun if you need to talk I am here.

Im so sorry you are having to go through this... No one can tell you really what to expect, but I is like a heavy period, some people have cramps and some people dont..
All you can do I s wait and the waiting is the worse bit, just make sure youve got the support there... I didnt I went thru 2 on my own and believe me having someone there you can talk to and tell them how u feel makes the world of difference.. Good luck hun.. Pm me if you need to talk.. I hope your not left waiting too long and its not too painful for u both physically and emotionally... Theres nothing anyone can say that will make it better but were all thinking of you.. Let us how u go on x x

This is probably not what you want to read, have a look at the message any hope, at my last reply........... I just went through a rather traumatic experience. I think there is a wide degree of experiences, but it is good to know what the worse you can expect.

I had my ultrasound when I was 11 1/2 weeks at which time the obgyn told me that they could detect no heartbeat, and that the baby was a 6 week size. He told me that it either had died at that time or I was off on my dates come back in 2 weeks.I was horrified I didn't know what to do, I waited the 2 weeks only to be told I have to come back in 3 days due to there being no available appointiments. Up until today I have had no bleeding I have just a little when I wipe but that is it. I asked about infections and I was told that your body will do all this naturally if the baby has died. I can't believe they would make we wait like this not kowing if I was truly having a baby or just carrying a dead baby

Sorry that you have to go thru all of this, your story and many others sound so familiar to me. I have been pregnant 10- times and have had 8 miscarriages and my 7th pregnancy I was carring twins and one died and the other made it... I can't tell you how sorry I am that u have to wait to see if you are miscarring because I would think all the best things in the world that I was going to carry that baby and then I would loose it. I heard that exact same story with my 8th pregnancy and I also was almost 12 weeks pregnant and after three days I started to bleed just alittle and I started to cramp really bad so I had to have a d&e and d&c so I could recover properlly and try again in 6 weeks.

The best advice I can give someone going through all of this and wanting a baby so bad is... If u really want a baby, do not ever give up trying. Most of my family and friends and even my husband wanted to give up but I said no! I will hold u up in prayers....


Finally a mama

ps. My daughter from my 7th pregnancy has down syndrome and is my lil angel!
