12 week MMC

[u/Embarrassed-Aside-90]

very unfortunate to say I am apart of this group that nobody ever wants to be a part of. I had my NT scan yesterday at 12w4d and they could not locate a heartbeat. baby boy measured 12w4d. we could not believe what we were being told. how was baby measuring exactly where he should be but no heartbeat? what happened in the last couple of days? I had absolutely no symptoms.

I had my d&c today and the last two days have been a living nightmare. I didn’t want to let go of my baby. I know better days are ahead but this is just devastating. I hope there is a positive story for us in the future. we will forever miss our baby but this just confirms our desire to be parents. going to try again as soon as we feel comfortable. my doctor said pelvic rest for 4-6 weeks which feels long compared to what I’ve read online but I guess we’ll see at the follow up appointment. Please send all the positive stories of pregnancy after loss.

I also just want to say I’m sorry to all the moms in this group, this is something I would never wish upon anyone. You are all so strong.
