"Treatment and management of missed miscarriage"

I discovered in September at nearly 12 weeks pregnant I had had a missed miscarriage. it took almost 6 weeks for me to receive a D&C as miscarriage wasn't coming away on its own and due to previous pregnancy trauma could not take the tablets to pass the tissue.

6 weeks I had to wait for surgical management while carrying my dead baby and in agonising pain as my body was trying to miscarry but it just wouldn't come. When I finally received the surgical management my allocated nurse was 7 months pregnant, only adding to my trauma. I am now nearing what should have been my due date and only now feel ready to share my horrific experience.

I really feel the NHS need to have a look at their policies and duty of care surrounding miscarriage management. I was made to feel like an inconvenience during one of the hardest times in my life and then had a big baby bump flaunted in my face by my allocated nurse while in for the surgery I had waited an agonising amount of time for. It was a horrible experience made worse by the disregard of my situation when in for treatment.
