Miscarriage & D&C

Hello ladies,
I'm sad to be joining this group again. I had an MC at 8 weeks in July, but it wasn't a surprise as there had been bleeding since week 5. But this time I was at 14 weeks, 3 days from the 14 week appointment and had one quick spotting, followed by brown spotting, and the OB seemed not too concerned, but then bleeding really started and we ended up at the ER. They could see the baby, but no movement or heartbeat. the OB confirmed it at our appointment the next day. They determined the baby measured at 9 w 4 days, which would have been just after the first ultrasound where everything looked strong and normal. I had a D& C yesterday, as the dr suggested because of how far I was.
We're just devastated at this point. Last time was almost a little easier because things had been iffy from the start. This time things had been going really well, and we'd told everyone just a couple weeks before, thinking we were safe. I'm dreading going back to work and having to deal with the questions.
Anyway, thanks for listening.

Re: Miscarriage & D&C
With my first loss, my doctor pushed for a d&c due to the blood loss risks, I had to have one with the second because my body wouldn't miscarry naturally, and I was done waiting. I hope you are physically feeling well today, and I am sorry you feel devastated, which is understandable, I was too.
