Questions & Answers

So glad to hear. Did you have a transvaginal u/s done?

I'm soooo glad to hear that you got to see the heartbeat!!! I've been following you and was so sad and confused to hear your problems and the dr. thinking so quickly to schedule a d&c. Seriously so happy for you!

Just two days ago (last Friday) my doc was absolutely and positive sure the pregnancy is not viable. She wanted me to do the D&C this Wednesday. She made me do series of blood tests today to prepare for the D&C. Over the weekend, however, I did a lot of research and since I don't have bleeding and cramping, in fact I don't have any miscarriage symptoms I decided to Wait! I told her today that I am not going through with the D&C Then she did the u/s and saw the little flicker ...And agreed to put the D&C on hold! Even if she didn't I would have done it. It's my body and my decision ....I just hope that little flicker turns into a healthy heartbeat. The next u/s is very important ...

Yes...I JUST experienced this, when I was supposed to be 7 weeks, and got my first my ultrasound, the sonographer couldn't really see the baby that well, then immediately started talking miscarriage talk, UNTIL she use the vaginal tool. Then she was able to get a better look. She found a heartbeat and measured it at 160 bpm but she said the baby measured at 5w5....which I thought was WAY OFF. So I am scheduled to go back in another week to see the baby's growth and progress.

So please don't get discouraged, and DON'T let them convince you to get a D&C until they are absolutely, positively SURE that the baby isn't alive- get a second opinion even.

Maybe be that's why it took the doc soooo long to see what's going on. I hoping is because of the uterus and not some other problems

Hope everything turn out good. Also with that type of uterus it's hard to get the right measurements and to see what's going on in there.

Yes, the next u/s is scheduled in two days. Doc wanted me to do D&C but now it has been put on hold. Phew!
Thanks Luckymommy :) xx

When the heart first starts going it's not that fast I'm guessing since your baby is a little behind the heart just started, it's good that the doctor saw it. Did they schedule another ultrasound for a week or two ahead? With a uterus like that it's very hard to see and get good pics of baby. You should stop stressing and worrying yourself so much, it's extremely bad for a pregnancy and especially on your little one.
