2nd scan today and so scared..

**angelicdragon** · November 29th, 2010, 09:26 AM

The last few pregnancies I have had we started off with a heartbeat and then it all stopped when I saw my OB. So here we are at 7w5d and see him this afternoon at 3pm. I am 99% sure he will start eh scan and say as usual, I am sorry but there is no heartbeat.
I know this time I measured for dates which is better than last time and my betas did go up just not doubling... I just don't know how to shake this feeling.
I am sure that if that is what he says I will cope coz we always do. I would rather m/c naturally this time instead of a rushed D&C.
All my friends and family would understand except for DHs family.
His mum and dad (that's if mum has even told dad!) will tell us to make sure it doesn't happen again and I just KNOW I will get the "get your tubes done" lecture from MIL.

I don't know how I feel really. If there was a 100% guarantee that a next pregnancy would carry to term then I would go with it but all I get is that each pg will most likely end in yet another m/c at my age... then I get told of stories of women my age and older having a baby quite healthy and normal and all natural.

Just needed to vent and let off my thoughts where people would understand.

Not looking good.

At 6w1d I measured exactly 6 wks but now at 7w5d I only measure 6w5d. The baby has grown a bit more than the sac did so the sac now measures not in ratio to baby which is not good. The h/b is supposed to be around 160-180 but is only 117. So it's not looking at all good, almost exactly the same as with the twins back in March. And yes we should be having twins this time as well as there are two clear sacs, but he said one sac is empty. he did abdominal scan not internal. Not sure if that makes any difference? The fact my nausea is not as bad as it was last week is also not a good sign , he said it could mean my hormone levels are already decreasing. I have to go back next Monday morning to see if there is any change.
I think I need all the prayers I can get

I have added the scan pics to my FB photo album. Please contact me for FB details
