Would appreciate hearing people's experiences as I really don't know what to do.
Started to bleed a little on Monday - was 9weeks. Had a scan at EPAU yesterday, confirmed no heartbeat, was told it was a missed miscarriage, baby died at 8 weeks. Staff were lovely and spent lots of time talking to me about my options and decided to try to let nature take its course.
So I'm at home, bleeding a bit but not heavily yet, aching tummy but not desperately painful. But I have no clue what to do about work. DP insisted I took today off but I feel a bit fraudulent as very little is happening yet. OTOH my huge fear is being at work when the heavy bleeding starts. Am fairly calm at the moment but aware that the reality of this hasn't properly hit me yet.
What's normal in these circumstances? Did you take days/weeks off? And what do you tell work? I'd really rather nobody at work knew about the mmc but not sure how I get round that. So far I've just said I'm ill, no details.
TIA
