8 week scan and no heart beat

I’m numb. I’ve opted to wait and miscarry naturally. The dr said the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks 2 days.

How long does it take for it to start. I have to go back in two weeks for a follow up.

It’s been the best 8 weeks it’s just so sad it has ended in such disappointment. Xx

Hi hun so sorry for ur loss it's so hard.i lost twins at 6 week and 12week. Then a little boy at 20 week. So I feel your pain I'm sure it won't take to long for nature to start working but just ask at ur nxt appt if nothing has happened.

I am so sorry for your loss, i don’t think there’s a time frame for how long it can take to start. I waited 2.5 weeks tried medical management twice and then had surgery. Please message me if you need to talk or want to ask anything. Allow yourself to grieve though xx

Oh Hun I'm really sorry to read this. It's just so heartbreaking. I've just been through a missed miscarriage unfortunately nothing had started for me after 3 weeks so we opted for medical management. I hope that it happens quickly for you and isn't too distressing. Big hugs xxxx

Hi. I am terribly sorry to hear this. I have had 3 losses and I know how tragic and sad it is to lose a precious baby. I trust everything goes smoothly as well as it can for you. Equip yourself with strong painkillers, a hot water bottle and seek support from close family to help you through such a painful time. You need a lot of tlc. Please PM me if you have any questions and I will be only too glad to help. Thinking of you so much and sending you a hug.xo

Sorry, no one should have to go through this.

I opted for natural both times. One of the things that worried me was when it started, where would I be, how quickly would it progress...

I went to see my acupuncture lady to see if there was anything to assist and she used some points which I believe speeded the process up.

So sorry to hear this, thinking of you xxx
