Cousin pregnant,bleeding,no heartbeat.
Posted: 10-20-07 15:40pm

She went to the er with little bleeding... they did any ultra sound... found the baby but couldn't get a heart beat! They went her home on bed rest... said wait to see if she loses it or it might be high risk! I work in an ER I know we are busy and want the sicker people better and the ones that need a little this or that to fix them and get them out! Well I don't know if they didn't take the time to find the heart beat I wasn't there. But I am scared for her she is 18 years old doing this by herself. I don't know what to tell her I had high risk preg. cause I have A- blood but never thought I might lose my child! She is still bleedin lighty with no cramps. Can someone help me I don't know what to tell her! I am lost and don't want to say anything I am kinda scared too!
Thank you so much
Ashley

How far along is she? I went in with bleeding at 6w 5d and there was no heartbeat. I am now 27 weeks along. The heartbeat just wasn't getting picked up yet and the bleeding was from a polyp on my cervix. Was her ultrasound internal or just the typical ultrasound on the stomach. If she is really early in the pregnancy, an ultrasound on her stomach may not pick up a heartbeat yet.
