I went in for an ultrasound today. I expected to be between 12-13 months pregnant. Baby measured around 8 weeks and no heartbeat could be found. (I had no idea baby wasn't doing well - I didn't experience any of the typical symptoms of a miscarriage). I read that baby shrinks at the same rate of growth once it dies so I'm thinking that it probably died around 10 weeks. This means that I haven't miscarried on my own for roughly 2-3 weeks. I'm thinking I'll probably opt for a D & C, I'm hoping to see my doctor on June 24 to figure out what to do. I'm wondering if any others have had a similar experience? How did you decide whether to wait and see if it came naturally or to have surgery? How long from the time of baby's probable death to the time you miscarried (surgery or natural)? Also what kind of advice did you receive about how soon after to start trying to get pregnant again? Thanks.
