Nearly two weeks ago we learned that our baby no longer had a heartbeat and had stopped growing at 6.5 weeks (we were in the 9th week of pregnancy). I would rather miscarry naturally than have a D&C and my husband is supportive of this wish. But the wait is getting difficult and I'm not sure what to do. I've read that the natural process can take from two to six weeks. An additional complication: we have a vacation planned at the end of this week (it was going to be a "last hurrah" for just the two of us) and I am worried about miscarrying then... away from home and my regular doctors, not to mention long flights to-and-from. My husband said this morning, "Maybe your body will just reabsorb things and the MC won't be bad..." I've been looking for info about this online, but not finding anything to support that idea. Thankfully, my emotional state is improving-- all I could do at first was cry everyday-- and I am feeling strong in that respect. But I'm increasingly concerned about "practical matters." Does anyone have shared experience, information, or advice?
