Miscarriage.. to opt for surgery (D&C) or wait for my body to bleed naturally

I am 11 weeks pregnant but baby growth is slower than expected with no heartbeat and I am diagnosed with missed miscarriage. Gynae advise I can wait for my body to miscarry naturally or opt for D&C. I hope to be able to bleed naturally but not sure when will it happen and how long I can withstand especially since I am coping with very bad morning sickness every single day :( I also thought its quite traumatising to bleed baby out? Should I opt for D&C instead? Anyone with similar experience care to share? Thank you. 🙏🏻

I've had 2 miscarriages and both was natural. To go natural may take sometime for the gestational sac or like yours, fetus, to come out on it's own. My recent miscarriage was last year but I was already bleeding for 3 weeks before it came out naturally when I actually have opted for D&C the day before it came out. It was traumatising and devastating to be honest cos I saw it and I actually picked it up. Thank god I was cleared of any remnants inside. D&C is faster but again, it is really up to you as it is your body. May all goes well for you. Do let your body recover completely at least for 6 months. Take confinement foods and drinks. Take care.
