I went for an early scan yesterday at 8+5, they didn't say much other than the baby was too small to see a HB, not to stress and to come back for a re scan in 7-10 days. No more words, just sent me home. I knew it wasn't right as I'd always seen things clearly by this stage, and I could also tell by their faces even though they tried to show nothing.
At home I read the report sheet they'd given me. It was devastating. It said the age by dates was 8+5 but by scan 5+6. What's worse is it said multiple pregnancy and listed two babies both 4mm and both with no heartbeats.
I had asked before leaving whether my work would affect anything as I work very busy nightshifts (not knowing there was definitely a problem at that stage) and they said no. However now I've read the info I know it was an mmc.
I'm scared a) that I'll start to miscarry overnight at work
b) if anyone so much as asks 'how are you' that I'll burst into tears.
c) that if I tell them I won't get hired by this company again, and it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I'm working a nightshift tonight (they could never cover my shift at this short notice), any thoughts or advice?
