MMC

I had a MMC at 15 weeks back in June.. I didn't even let my OB go through my options & said right away i wanted the D&C.. personally, I just wanted it over and done with.. it was already traumatic knowing I was carrying around my dead baby.. in no way did I want to go through bleeding and cramping for weeks/months - adding to the trauma.. My D&C went smoothly and I had no cramping after and very light spotting. Personally, if you're wanting to try again sooner rather than later, then I think the D&C would be better, because miscarriages can last a long time Hope you make the decision thats best for you & take your time healing ❤️

Hi hun, firstly I’m really sorry. And yes I’ve been through this too. I was actually 38 so very similar to you.mine stopped growing at 7+2 and we were totally blindsided at a private scan. It was a tricky situation as we got sent to hospital to confirm and look at next steps and the hospital thought they saw a tiny fetal pole so we then had to wait 2 weeks for a rescan. It all dragged on for us which I don’t think is the norm but went on for about a month by the time I had treatment.i was very against a d & c as I was petrified but when it came to it,I just wanted the pregnancy out of my body as quickly as possible,knowing that my baby had died 😢 so I completely changed my mind and chose the d & c. I’m so glad I did. It was simple and done very quickly. The physical recovery was very quick and I left hospital the same day. Emotionally it obviously has been a long journey. But surgery was 100% the best option for me. After my mmc last May,I fell pregnant again in November and…

Unfortunately had a chemical pregnancy but I fell pregnant again very quickly and I’m now 30+4 with my double rainbow baby girl 🩷 she’s perfectly healthy and due less than a fortnight after my 40th birthday! 🤣 I understand what a tough time this is for you right now so sending lots of love,look after yourself x

@Sarah thank you so much for sharing your story and congratulations on your double rainbow. She will make it all worth every second ❤️ Maybe the D&C would be better then, we’re supposed to be going on holiday on 12th October so just want it over before then 😞

@Michelle thank you ❤️

I had a MMC in April and opted for the medical management as I wanted to be at home for it rather than surgery. Thought it all went okay and then in July had to have a D&C as it was incomplete, I found the whole experience with medicine traumatic and genuinely wouldn't recommend it to anyone. My D&C was as nice as a horrible thing can be, the Drs and nurses were very sensitive to what I was going through and the whole thing went smoothly. Had very little pain afterwards and little spotting at all. D&C sounds scary but you're put to sleep and it honestly is the option I would recommend x

So sorry your going through it. It’s devastating. I had a MMC at 11 weeks and opted for a D&C. I started cramping the night before and was in so much pain I’m glad the D&C was quick and I was home a few hours later. Xx

Really sorry for what you went through. I also had a MMC and at the time I opted for medication. I personally would not recommend this and looking back wish I just did the surgery. Medication was so painful to the point I passed out. I had to be admitted into hospital for 2 days when they said you can come in the morning and leave later on once passed but anything can happen. I hope you come to a decision for what is best for you, and you will get pregnant again once you’ve healed xx sending you well wishes and all the best - happy for you to inbox me if you want to know anything else x

I had a missed miscarriage last year, it also dragged on as the nhs couldn’t take the word of the private scan place so had to wait a few weeks then I opted for medical management which didn’t work, did it again a month later that failed too. In the end went for d&c and that went as smoothly as it could and I wish I had gone for that in the first place!

I had a MMC last April and found out at a private scan. It was twins one was 10+2 and the other was 8+3. The early pregnancy unit wouldn’t see me it is frustrating to have to wait. At the time the hospital told me they leave you to pass naturally first. Within a couple of days the bleeding started however mine was big heavy clumps so I had to go in and ended up having surgery.

I had missed miscarriage at 17 weeks and unfortunately they don’t do surgical management at this stage in Scotland so I had to be induced and give birth . I would opt for surgical management if you can .
