Q: Miscarriage- letting nature take its course- please help!

Today I was told that my baby did not have a heartbeat after seeing its little flutter only on Wednesday. I feel like I'm going crazy, I keep clutching onto fantasies that they were wrong. The feeling of loss and emptiness is overwhelming and I just want to go back to seeing its little heart flutter.

I've been given so much information of what to do next that my heads in a spin. I'm thinking of letting nature take its course but I'm worried I'm only choosing this option because I want to hold onto my baby. I know that sounds totally crazy and not healthy at all but I'm finding it so hard to let go. Has anyone else experience natural miscarriage? Or have any advice?

I had the d & c done with both my pregnancy losses. I would handle waiting. First time I was 6 wks & no heartbeat. This time I was almost 8 wks. The found a heartbeat, but a week later I just knew something was wrong. Its really only a decision you can make. Regardless how you decide, it's going to be hard. This is the worst feeling ever to lose your child. I opted for the d & c because I just wanted to get it over with & the second time because they were going to test the issue, so maybe we can get some answers as to why this keeps happening.
good luck with your decision. I'm so sorry it's one you have to make

So sorry for your loss. I lost my baby at 6 weeks but didn't find out until I was 12/14 weeks. The baby just wouldn't expel, I would hate for you to go through that for that long. I ended up having a D&C 4 days after finding out. The D&C made no difference to conceiving as I fell the very next month with my now 9yr old son.

Only your head can tell you what to do. My heart goes out to you xx

I miscarried a baby between my Daughter and Son. I was 7 weeks and it happened naturally. It's hard no matter what way you go. you are connected to that baby the moment you find out your pregnant. Keep your head up; I know it's hard trust me. I didn't think I would ever want to get pregnant again after losing my baby, but I found that after the bleeding stopped and my hormone levels went back to normal (took a while for some reason) I started trying again right away because I realized I wanted a baby even more. After three months of trying again we got pregnant again. I was scared out of mind with every ache and pain, but I just had my DS 9 days ago and hes amazing. Please don't give up and if you need to talk to anyone send me a message.

I've also had this happen before. It's extremely devastating. I actually drank heavily for a long period of time because of the one I had back in 2011. I let mine happen naturally and I don't regret it. It gave me time to cope and to say goodbye in the right way but my grief was very bad. :( I'm sorry for your loss.

Im so sorry for your loss. I've had this happen twice myself. Both times, i had gone in for a scan, thinking everything was fine, just to be told it was not. Both times i had to do the surgical option because nothing happened naturally. Even though the baby had died, i never started bleeding or cramping. Some women do better with the surgical option because it's over quick and you can get on with healing and trying again if you want. I don't think i could handle sitting around waiting to start bleeding. I would want it over and done with. I've natural miscarriages too and my bleeding after the surgical was always less than after the natural miscarriage. I know it's hard to go through this, i really feel for you.
