Miscarriage options

So sorry for your loss. I went through a missed miscarriage last year, I opted for medical management (the pills) which failed twice, it dragged on for months and I ended up having a d&c which was nowhere near as scary as it sounded. I wish I’d opted for that first so I didn’t have to have it all dragged on for months

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a D&C and it wasn’t as traumatic as I expected. I was 14 weeks gestation and I remember afterwards a feeling of grief and relief that I could start to heal. The bleeding afterwards I can only compare to after birth bleeding - like an exceptionally heavy period but without the pain xx

Im so sorry you are going through this - sending you all the love and strength. I had a missed miscarriage last year and i went for the vacuum option. It’s not one I would choose again if i am ever unfortunate enough to end up in the same position. For me it was a lot worse than labour.

@Cesca I’m so sorry to hear. I was leaning for vacuum as I didn’t want to be put under. I have an 8 month old baby and I’m terrified of doing D&C and going under. Thanks for commenting. I really need to weigh my options

@Alicia i think it depends on your pain threshold- they do numb you with local anaesthetic but it was nowhere near enough for me.

So sorry for your loss. For me I have had many miscarriages and ‘letting it happen’ for me was the best option. As it naturally happens, and it’s all done within a matter of an hour. The pill was horrific, like induced labour. For me what the body does naturally is best. ❤️💚

@Jade i am so sorry you’ve had to go through this many times being my first it’s been so hard emotionally to just wait and let nature take its course. Thank you for your comment. 🙏🏻

So sorry you are going through this 😔 I had a missed miscarriage in 2020. I was given 3 options, nature, medication or surgery. Initially I said nature as I just wasn't ready for anything else. After over 2 weeks, my body just was not processing it at all so I then opted straight for surgery as I then just needed closure. For me, medication was dragging it out and potentially ended up in surgery anyway if it didn't work. I'd give yourself some time to make the right decision for you. Sending love 💕

I also opted for full general for the procedure as I just couldn't be awake and aware of what was happening. But a very personal choice. I felt very emotional going down to theatre but had no complications. The mental healing took some time, but physically, this was the right route for me and it went OK x

Quick update: Recently went through a traumatizing miscarriage & I send hugs to all those mommas who have been in a similar situation. I was told a few weeks back during my initial ultrasound that there was no baby seen but to not jump into any conclusions. I went through blood work and numerous ultrasounds and it was confirmed that unfortunately there was no baby. I was then given my options and opted for natural miscarriage. After wks of waiting & crying daily just waiting for it to happen. On 4th of July I ended up in the ER with heavy bleeding. To the point were I lost so much blood I needed a blood transfusion and after going through pretty much labor after being given a pill to induce contractions and cervix dilation I was then rushed for an emergency D&C. I know everyone’s story is different but I regret not choosing D&C initially. Going through practically labor to end up in surgery and leaving the hospital empty handed has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.

@Alicia sending you lots of love ❤️

@Alicia how many weeks were you?
