Dear anonymous

I had a similar experience, only I was diagnosed with a twin pregnancy of which one was a vanishing twin, I lost this baby and it was totally absorbed by my body by the time next sonar it showed only one baby.

Though I have no personal experience of this, I have read of this phenomenom and know it to be true. Try to think of it as good in the way that the body is protecting you from experiencing the even more traumatising effect of giving birth to an 'imperfect' child. The body is an amazing place and works overtime in ways that are strange and mysterious to us. Another positive for you is that it may not be difficult to get pregnant again relatively quickly after going through this experience. Age is a large factor in this type of 'miscarriage' though so I would stay in close contact with your medical support.

I'm really sorry to hear of this! this is my story http://www.minti.com/parenting-advice/9115/Blighted-Ovum-My-miscarriage/ and I hope it helps to show you are not alone. This was the first of my 2 early pregnancy loss's and it can be quiet a confusing, hurtful time, do you have ppl around who can support you? I strongly suggest some grief counselling, and Blue-ravens group has been a tremendous help and thoroughly reccomend that as well.

Plz take care. xxxx.

Yes it's common, and I'm sorry that you have lost your baby. I have a group called cherubs you can find alot of support there.

It's mostly common in multiple pregnancy but it is not unheard of.  I'd have to go and do some research on this as my knowledge on this type of miscarriage is limited. Talk your doctor or health clinician and seek some counselling has this is a traumatic loss for you. Feel free to to drop me a line and talk. Anything you say is confidential including on cherubs. It's private so no one other than members will read and respond.

Remember you are not alone, there are people who understand your pain, hurt and confusion. I myself have lost 3 pregnancy (12wks, 19wks, 7 wks) so I understand. I have written some advice called mind of miscarriage and I also have written my story and other advice on cherubs.

Let me know privately if you wish join cherubs and I'll get you invited straight away.

there has been a few members on here who have had a very similar experience.

basicly there was a baby, for some unknown reason it died and now your body is reabsorbing it all. a girlfriend of mine went thro similar this year and last year as well.

I also went thro similar 3 years ago.

my sugestion is to see your gp and get things checked again, blood levels and take it easy. if you do miscarry see a councilor to deal with the grief.

Sorry to hear about this.  All I can say is dont stress out.  I have never heard of this before but definately get a second opinion.  It all sounds strange to me.  Wait until your next tests and good luck.  Sorry I was not much help :)
