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 miscarried around the same week as you and contemplated whether to opt for natural or DC. Ended up going for DC as advised by gynae and family as it would be painful to wait emotionally and during the miscarriage cramps as well. It may take weeks for it to dispel out of your body. Another reason is because I want to make sure there would be no remnants so I can get pregnant again.
