Blighted Ovum

It can be very disturbing to be told your baby was a blighted ovum. It simply means that there is tissue and pregnancy fluid in the womb, but no baby. The baby would have been there but it died very early in pregnancy and was reabsorbed by your body. A blighted ovum is normally found between 8 and 11 weeks when you have your first scan. However just because your baby is no longer there, it does not make your loss any easier. You have still lost a baby.

If you need any further information please speak top your doctor. The Miscarriage Association also produces a leaflet on a blighted ovum.

All addresses are on the contacts page.
