I'm so very sorry A miscarriage is such a sad and tough thing to go through. Be easy on yourself and take some physical and emotional rest. After weeks of going through uncertainty and a slowly progressing miscarriage I very much wanted to feel "normal" but rest was what my body needed. I found that talking to people who also have had miscarriages helped. I opted to have a natural miscarriage because things were progressing on their own but I'll be honest and say it was a long 8 week process. It is definitely not like that for everyone though, and I've heard of many shorter timeframe natural miscarriages.
Thinking of you.

I'm so sorry
I found out at 10 weeks that the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. I chose to take the medication to induce labor because I didn't want to wait for it to happen naturally and wanted to avoid a D&C, if possible. It was a long, drawn out process but I was glad it was at home, where I felt more comfortable.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
When we found out our lil baby quit growing, I chose a D&C because I didn't want to deal with the waiting it out phase and seeing the tissue pass when it happened. The procedure was quick (30 minutes total). Please feel free to PM me!

Oh, I'm so sorry
I had a natural miscarriage at 12 weeks and I wish I would have known to have the D&C. I didn't know I was miscarrying until I started bleeding a LOT in a public place and I was ambulanced to an ER. It was a terrible and somewhat traumatizing experience.

I had another ultrasound to confirm and I have a D&C scheduled for tomorrow AM. Ugh, I didn't expect a miscarriage to be so hard. Thank you everyone for the kind words

@HLK208: I am SO sorry. In my experience it was also 10000 times harder than I ever could have imagined. Yours was on the late side too, which makes it worse. So many hugs coming your way.

@HLK208: I am so sorry for your and your family's loss. It's so hard to go through a miscarriage, and even harder when your children understand what's happening as well. I've had 2 D&Cs and 2 natural miscarriages, and I would much prefer the D&C - it helped me to move on faster. Sending you good thoughts that everything goes smoothly tomorrow

Thank you everyone, so much.
It went well. The only hard part was when I woke up, I was pretty out of it from the anesthesia and I asked to see my baby When they said I couldn't, I cried. A lot. Which made me feel like an idiot.
I just need to figure out how to cope from here.
