We Got a Heart Beat!!!!!! Posted: 08-08-07 17:21pm
The Drs assistant told me yesterday that I
had a "missed abortion" aka a miscarriage
where everything still stays inside.
Anyway, they said they wanted me to go get
an ultrasound to make sure. So I went
assuming I had already lost the baby and
right there on the screen was my babies
heartbeat! I saw it!
I am almost 6 weeks and the heart beat was
104, and the u/s doc said that the beating
was really consistent and strong which is
what they like to see!
Finally I can relax a little.

what led them to believe you miscarried?
Did you bleed with cramping??

i'm still wondering *why* they told you
that... i would have been ripped!
i did have one, the reason they knew was
because i was supposed to be 13 weeks and
when they measured my uterus (just by
feeling) it wasn't even close to what it
should have been.
had you already had an u/s and not seen
anything?

Sorry to repost the old post again I don't
know what happened, I was using an Apple
computer and I never use them.
Anyway, I have already had one miscarriage
so they were watching me really close. The
Dr was doing very early u/s and initially
found nothing, and then one week later
found only a sac but my HCG was really
high at like 14000 so the Dr thought she
should have seen more than just a sac at
that point plus I could have sworn I was 6
weeks at that time but she said it looked
more like 5 weeks. So she sent me to get
an official u/s with a nice u/s machine.
When the Dr did the u/s on me she just
stole the machine from the u/s tech and
had about 5 minutes before the u/s tech
needed the machine back.
Both her assistant and the person
scheduling the u/s said the Dr wanted an
official u/s because they wanted to
confirm a "missed abortion"
So we went planning on bad news and we saw
a heart beat!!!!

Oh yeah and I also had spotting for the
first week and half after finding out I
was pregnant.
