Jenny, i can't add to this, it's too close to home, but wanted to send some ((hugs))

Jenny, Think positive I had this 30 years ago at 14 weeks pregnant. Told to have bed rest at home. If no bleeding to go to bed for a couple of days then if no further bleeding to get up. This is duly did on and off for 2 weeks. I was then told Junior had died in the womb. To get up carry on as normal would all come away on its own. No Dand C offered. Result 6 months later one healthy young man weighing 7llbs 4ozs. Just had has just had his 29th birthday Sue

Sorry, I've no answer either hun. But my heart goes out to you and yours...!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be thinking of and praying for you all!! Laura.

hI jENNY, i HAVE HAD 3 MISCARRIAGES, THE FIRST TWO WERE AT 9 AND 11 WEEKS. tHERE WAS NO HEART BEAT AND I HAD TO GO FOR A D AND C ON BOTH OCCASIONS AS THE BABY HAD HAD A HEARTBEAT BUT DIEd. I lost a twin at 17 weeks also. i am suprised your D in L hasnt been advised to have a d and c All my love to you all, Caz xxxx

Dunno what to say , my OH had 2 miscarriages whilst we were in the forces and both times it appears it was different symptoms , if that makes sense , I have to admit though that the help and advice given to her indoors by the forces was great , and thank god we still have 3 brill kids and 4 even briller grandkids Twizzle

no answers - just hugs!! xx

Aww Jenny l really don't know if this is the norm or not, l was lucky enough not to have had a miscarriage - it does seem abit extreme, but thats me. Does she have to go abroad next week, could she delay it because of the risk, stay here and be near family and friends. This is so sad, wish l could suggest something to help. Take care and hugs to your friend. jude sarf wales xx

Forgot to add, they have been trying for a baby for 3 years now. She only has around one 'period a year' Not sure what it is now called. could someone enlighten me please? Jenny.

Oh! Jenny-that is awful-bless her - hope the docs got it wrong - miricle's do happen XX

A member of my family is pregnant with their first baby and has had all the signs of a miscarriage. Because she was unsure of her 'date' the Dr warned of a possible miscarriage or Etopic pregnancy. She was in some pain and had other signs. Her GP sent her home and arranged a scan the next day. Scan has shown that it is not Ectopic but the baby is no longer 'in the womb' she has been told to just wait for 'nature to take it's course' How do you help a 23 year old get through this weekend? She is due to go abroard on Monday and the Dr, has told her to go, as it will all be over by then. I have had 6 miscarriages over the years and each one has been different. i only had to go into hospital twice. I am worried that she will not recognise if she needs to go to hospital or not. Is this the 'norm' nowadays? Jenny.
