![]() Grace: So sorry you have to go through this. You don't just move on either! Nearly three months on and I still shed a tear for the loss of my baby. They don't give you a D&C or tablet straight away because you need time to process what had happened. I am really sorry for everyone who went through this. A friend of mine was sent home and had to wait a week to start bleeding and was in terrible pain. I understood it wasn't happening and I wanted to be over with it, so I could cry and then heal. For me it would have been too painful to go home and wait. I didn't even go home as I had been fasting. I’m so sorry! For me, I decided it was best to have the D&C straight away, I asked for it and it happened – twice. Lavinia: Once there's no heartbeat, there's no heartbeat. They will check you very thoroughly on the day to be sure. I know it is heartbreaking, but the D&C is the best way to me. I was not allowed a D&C and eventually suffered through a 10 day miscarriage. Melinda: It happened to me, and the heartbeat never came back. The experience is much worse with the tablets than with D&C, I think. Go For The D&Cĭenisa: Unfortunately there is the risk that the tablets won’t work. I was given a tablet so I didn’t have a D&C. They did an internal scan, but unfortunately there was still no heartbeat. ![]() I went to my 12-week scan, but the baby was only measuring nine weeks with no heartbeat. They thought it was just spotting, but I lost the baby at home that night.Ĭlare: I’m so sorry you are going through this horrible experience. I just started bleeding while the baby still had a heartbeat. I took tablets for my first, but my second was different. It’s a very traumatic experience and the hospital will offer counselling as well.Īleksandra: I refused a D&C. But unfortunately the baby’s heartbeat had stopped and was measuring smaller than my dates. ![]() On my third one I had morning sickness every second day and no signs of a miscarriage. Lulu: I have had three miscarriages, but never had a D&C. I went through this last year a bit earlier in pregnancy than you and had terrible morning sickness throughout the whole thing – even when I had been told there was no hope. They did do another scan before the operation, but unfortunately no miracles.Īisling: They will scan you again as this is protocol on initial diagnosis. I had to wait a week for my D&C which I found very tough to deal with. Natasha: They will do another scan before the D&C to make sure.Īmanda: I had a similar experience. We were devastated as I still had pregnancy symptoms including weight gain. They did an internal scan also and it was the same. I went for my 12-week scan and my twins had no heartbeat. It takes a while for your pregnancy hormones to wear off so you still feel pregnant.Īmanda: I had a similar experience in January 2017. I was told it can take up to eight weeks for your placenta and sac to be naturally expelled by the body, so I guess not everybody gets a bleed. It’s such a shock and very hard to accept. Orla: A silent scan, which is what you've had, is also called a missed miscarriage. I only had morning sickness up to then! I have to go into the hospital this week for a Dilatation and Curettage (D&C), but what I'm wondering is, has this ever happened to anyone else and when they have gone back to the hospital has there been a heartbeat?" A Silent Shock I've had no reason to think there was anything wrong. I went in last week for my 12-week scan and was told my baby was only measuring eight weeks approximately and had no heartbeat. We posted her question on Facebook, and this is what the rest of our readers had to say: Like every mum would, she wanted to know if there is even a little ray of hope that the baby’s heartbeat will return. This happened to one of our readers recently.
