My world went into a spin when I was told at my 12 week scan that there was no heartbeat and that I was having a silent miscarriage. I’d never even heard of a silent miscarriage. I was pregnant with my third child and I was thrilled as I'd always felt we would have three children. The doctor suggested I go home and let nature take it's course and come back after the weekend if it hadn't happened naturally.

I was in shock.
