Hi, i'm new here and would really love to get some answers and support, i just keep crying n dont no wat to do with myself,  
when i first did the pregnancy test that confirmed i where pregnant, i added the dates up and it said 9-10weeks gone, after visiting the midwife, ect.. i started having quite strong pains (not like period pains) .. so i took my self to the hospital, (better to be safe than sorry) .. i had a scan with the vaginal wand.. she was confused about the dates i'd told her because the scan showed i'm only 6weeks, she looked around my womb for 5-10mins and couldn't discover a heartbeat.. she asked me to come back a week later. i returned on friday 4th feb, another scan with the vaginal wand.. after only a few seconds of her inserting it, she said '' it doesn't look good '' , she said the sack has grown but the fetal hasn't and still there was no heartbeat, the nurse handed me a '' missed miscarriage '' booklet , at this point i'm thinking ( she obviously thinks it's dead ), she offered me 2 options, i can come back in a week and try again, or have an operation as my body has not physically removed the (miscarridge) itself. Not wanting to believe it's dead, i took the option of coming back on friday 11th feb. I have no pains, Normal coloured Discharge, and no bleeding what so ever. Me and my partner hope its a miricle baby, but i dont want to get my hopes up, to be even more distraught on friday. I'm scared about accepting the operation, because i keep thinking i haven't given the baby time to grow, but i know i can't keep waiting week after week for something that isn't coming. I have thought of something which i think may have happened, i think my dates i calculated where correct, i think i may actually be 9-10weeks, but maybe the baby died at 6 weeks and hasn't grown since? , please can somebody give me advice

Please see my comment on your other post.  Don't feel guilty, you did not do this, you had every right to feel the way you did and every right to feel the way you do.  It is your miscarriage and nobody else's, nobody can tell you how you "should" feel.  Get your rest and get back your normal tone (pregnancy hormones really spill over and make you almost feel crazy after a miscarriage).  Take care.

i am new here and having a hard time. i just lost my baby at 10 weeks. found out on Dec g 2010 that my baby was no longer alive. i have so much guilt over not being happy because that would have been baby 7 and it was a very unexpected pregnancy. it took until the 26th to pass everything. i do not know how to deal with this. i feel it is my fault and i don't deserve to grieve because i did not want to be pregnant. i have never been through this and feel like so many people think because i never held this child i should be over it. r they right and me wrong. could really use some support from people who have been there. i feel so alone and confused.

I share each and everyone's grief on this board. If you have gone through or are going through a MC, you are all in my thoughts.

Have been married for 10 years and have been TTC for 5 years. We have been seeing a fertility specialist for the past 9 months and the problem was with my husband.  With a few antibiotics and vitamins the doctor managed to increase his sperm quality.  I fell pregnant 2 months ago on our 10 year anniversary.  We were over the moon by the news.  Our first scan was at 6w2d and there were a little heartbeat.  It was such an amazing experience and one that I will probably never forget in my whole life.  The second scan last week Wednesday at 9w2d was probably the worst experience of my life.  I had a transvaginal scan and the first thing that popped on the monitor was a beautiful little baby. It looked perfect. My husband and I were super excited seeing the little one. The Doctor soon trashed our excitement with his worried face and when I looked back at the monitor I realised that the little mini us had no heartbeat.  When the doctor measured the fetus it was two days ahead of schedule.  I had my hopes up for a split second when the Doctor said he is sorry but the baby must have died a few hours before.  Words cannot describe how I felt.

He scheduled another appointment for Friday to see if there were any changes but I already knew by Thursday that my baby is no longer alive seeing that ALL my pregnancy symptoms have vanished.  All of a sudden I miss having morning sickness and tender breasts.  

I have to go back today for them to insert the pills to soften up the cervix and tomorrow they will do the D&C.  I am so scared and emotional and have no idea what to expect. In my home country my doctor always educates his patients on what the body is going through no matter what the illness.  Here where we live now its different.  It is also very hard to go through this MC without the support of our family.  

Good luck to you all with the healing process.  I trust that soon we can share our beautiful pregnancy stories and have little baby talks for hours on end.
