I lost my baby

9 Replies

Up until last week I was happily 8 weeks pregnant with little symptoms of nausea. Cut through today my life has turned upside down. Last week I had severe acidity, vomiting couldn't keep even water down to the point I was dehydrated and admitted in hospital on drips. The next day they did a scan and found the baby's heartbeat had slowed. The vomiting nausea continued and when they did the scan again in five days they could find no heartbeat at all. Just like that I lost my baby in my womb. The Doctor has asked me to wait for two weeks to see if it passes naturally or else I will be given tablets. Any chance we could have the heartbeat when they scan again in two weeks. I'm having all the pregnancy symptoms. This is killing me ripping me apart not knowing why

I’m sorry Hun, I’ve just had the same. I had a private scan yesterday at 10w4d to only find out the baby stopped growing at 9w. I’m having surgical management of miscarriage tomorrow morning 😢I don’t want to keep your hopes up but I don’t think you’ll have a heartbeat in 2 weeks, the dr told you to wait and see if you miscarry naturally or you need tablets (it’s a very painful process, you should consider surgical management like me)

You’re not alone ❤️

It is awful I had 3mmc, 2 blighted found at 12w and 9w and another pregnancy baby stopped at 9w mc at 12w. Usually they’re are sure and the 2w is just to be extra cautious. I’m really sorry your going through this take care of yourself x

Hi I'm soo sorry to hear that you are going through this. It is absolutely horrible. Make sure if you are going to wait to see if it passes naturally have pain killers available as the pain is absolutely horrible. My thoughts are with you. I miscarried at 10 weeks during my first pregnancy and i completely understand how devastating it it,

So sorry for your loss.

Usually when a babies heartbeat is slowing down especially that early on it’s not a good sign.

I’ve had 5 early miscarriages (between 6-8wks)

and 1 still birth at 26 weeks.

All of my miscarriages happened naturally except one where I had to have the tablet to get rid of the left over pregnancy tissue.

Some of my miscarriages were painful some where not and some I bled a lot whilst others I didn’t.

But the tablet one hurt a bit it was like serious period cramps and it still didn’t get rid of everything I was told to do surgical management but I refused it and just waited for my body to pass it naturally.

Please take time to process it all, mourn your pregnancy/baby, talk to someone you can trust and get as much rest as you can.

There is hope and never give up hope, i have a 9 month old healthy baby after all 6 losses.

If you want to talk feel free to inbox me xx

My sister went through what she was told was a miscarriage, although this was bleeding during early pregnancy so not exactly the same as you. They could only see the gestational sack and no heartbeat at all. She was told to go back in two weeks. She went on a little staycation to mourn their loss. When she went back to her appointment they found the baby. She didn’t have an easy pregnancy and baby was 8 weeks premature. But she’s now a happy and healthy 1 year old that’s absolutely thriving. A friend of mine also went through similar to her. I know the circumstances are not identical because you had previously found a heartbeat, but I just wanted to put a good news story in the mix of all the other comments. But like the other ladies have said, don’t lose hope. When the time is right you will have your baby. Best of luck.
