Am 15 and half wks preg with bub no 4. I had dating scan at 7wks and all was good. I went for a dr appoint today, and she used ultrasound machine and couldnt find a heartbeat and bubs only measured at 10 wks. She believes bub died about 5 wks ago. I have to have a scan at the hospital on Mon. I am shocked and devastated.
There is no history of miscarriage and with 3 healthy kids have never had any cause for concern. Im hanging onto hope that the fact that my bladder was empty (had just done a urine sample), the machine was new and the dr possibly not a fully trained radiographer (is that what they are called?) that she made a mistake. She also saw what she thinks was a fibroid, which was not shown on my 7 wks scan. I havent had any miscarriage syptoms and Im still having nausea (although not as bad as it was) and tender breasts. I am so confused and so upset that this has happened!
Am I just fooling myself into hoping that the Dr has got it wrong? The wait is torture (until I can have another scan).
Ohh sweetie No words can describe what you must be feeling now, just remain positive and wait for Monday. But, that said, prepare yourself best you can for the worst as well. I'm sure the ladies here will look after you no matter what happens.
hugs, this is a horrible thing to have to go through. i know the waiting is horrible and i only had to wait for about 10 mins between scans when they told me.
I really hope for your sake that as you said it was a big mistake,
just please please be kind to yourself
I hope everything is ok
I'm so sorry for the scary news at your scan. My experience was similar--I went in for a routine appointment at 9 1/2 weeks, and the baby only measured at 6 1/2 with no heartbeat. It had never crossed my mind that this might happen to me, there's no history of miscarriage in my mother's family going back 3 generations. It was a horrible shock for me, too. Sending kind thoughts and prayers your way.
Hi to all you lovely ladies that replied to my thread all those months ago. I didnt receive notification at the time, so I didnt realise that there were any replies, sorry!!
I just wanted to let you all know, sadly we did lose our baby. It was such a hard time. We waited for my body to naturaly go through the process, but by the time I should have been 20 wks, there was still no signs of anything changing, so I went in and had a d&c. It was such an awful thing to have to do, and it has taken lots of time, but finally I am feeling stronger and I can now talk to our kids about our precious angel, without tears welling up in my eyes.
We did start trying again, for another, but have stopped again, as financially and physically (I get terrible back/shoulder and neck pain) we can't really afford it at the moment. Hopefully in the not too distant future, we may be in a better place to try again.
Michelle - sorry about the loss of your angel.... hoping the time to ttc is not too far away. How did your kids cope with the news about their angel sibling?
