Recovery of non-surgical TFMR compared to non-surgical missed miscarriage

I’m 13 weeks and have been told my baby has chromosomal abnormalities that are not compatible with continuing the pregnancy so I will soon be facing a TFMR. I want to deliver the baby rather than surgery. I have previously had a missed miscarriages, including one at 9 weeks, and used the medication approach. It was a very physically traumatic experience (I had 2 doses of the tablets), with lots of blood loss, and it took a very long time to recover.

Does anyone have experience of both a non-surgical TFMR and a non-surgical MMC who can advise on how they differ or compare with recovery?

I send my love to everyone who reads this who has ever experienced this situation. It’s heartbreaking 💔

Hiya firstly I'm so sorry you're part of this group, secondly I've had a non surgical TFMR at 16 weeks I gave birth to my little boy. I won't lie it was my worst labour (2 living children) but I'm so glad I pushed through to be able to hold him and spend time with him, we even had a funeral. Recovery time was quicker than my MMC surgery as I bled after and was in pain for about 2 weeks. With the TFMR I was back to normal within days physically. It is different for everyone however I found non surgical better recovering then surgical x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
