I went to the emergengy room yesterday
like I siad I was, it took six long hours,
for them to do what they had to do. Then
the doc finally came out and told me that
I had a miscarriage. I didn't even want
to go to the hospital but my boyfriend
made me because he was worried about me
and the baby. I was just having light
spot bleeding, nothing serious. I didn't
cry but my boyfriend squaled like a baby!
I am suppose to be 9 wks but the doctor
said the fetus was only 8 wks and they
could not detect a heartbeat. I asked him
when can they detect a heartbeat and he
said 3-4 wks and I was thinking bs. When
I found out that I was pregnant I went
baby crazy and I search the internet for
any thing and everything there is to know
about pregnancy and every baby site says
that a heartbeat can not be detected until
the 10-12 wks. For one, the doctor
wasn't even an obgyn he was some er doctor
and he acted as though he had no idea what
was going on. He said that it appears
that I had a miscarriage, like he wasn't
all a matter of fact. He said that the
hospital likes to let nature take it's
course when it comes to miscarriages but
it doesn't happen by next week they will
do a d&c. I am in denial right now.
I just keep hoping that he was wrong, like
maybe I miscalculated a week and maybe it
is too early to hear a heartbeat. I mean
this can not be real, this can not be it.
It took me and my boyfriend six years to
conceive, what am I suppose to do now?
Right now as I type this, I am just fine,
I mean all I am doing is spot bleeding, no
cramps, nothing! My first prenatal visit
is this thursday, with a real obgyn, the
er doctor told me to keep that appoinment
with her. So I could get a second
opinion, if I wanted it. What do you guys
think? Did I have a miscarriage? Do you
think I should get a second opinion? I
don't think I can go through that again.
I guess my boyfriend and I are going to
keep trying. Well we never use any form
of birth control any way. So his motto is
if it happens it happens and if it don't
then it just don't. What is meant to
happen will happen! I am just driving my
self crazy, praying that the obgyn tells
me on thursday that my baby is okay.
Please any one respond back I really need
the support! Thanks!

Im kinda confused cause I thought that if
they suspected you of having a misscarrage
they would do an ultrasound to see if
something is wrong. Im not really sure
what to say but I would call your obgyn
and schedule an emergency appt. For
monday.

Yes the doctor did a belly ulrasound and a
vaginal ultrasound, plus blood tests. He
said that the blood tests were normal and
that they can see the baby and measure it
in the ultra sounds and every thing is
normal except that they can not hear a
heart beat, so they persumme it's dead but
I don't think I am far enough along to
beable to hear the heart beat. He said
that my body will expell the fetus during
a spontaneous miscarriage in the next week
or so. I just don't know what to think!

I had my first u/s at like 7 weeks and
they saw a heartbeat then. They can get a
heartbeat a lot earlier on u/s. It's the
doppler that they usually can't hear it
until like 10 weeks or so. I guess just
call your ob in the morning and i'm sure
they'll bring you in asap.

Well idont think he would tell u u m/c if
u didnt..And normally u can hear a
heartbeat by then I think. .But u never
know, sometimes it is harder.. I didnt
think doctors just let the baby stay in u
. .I thought they automatically did
something because your body, if it doesnt
know the baby is not alive, would still be
running its course to nurish the baby
right? I dont know. Ive just never heard
it like this. Its confusing..

My babe had a heartbeat at six weeks. It
was really strong.
I dont think that they would have told u
that u m/c
d either if they didn't know for sure but
u should def. Go back to ur doc. And get
a 2nd oppion, you wouldn't wanna have a
d&c and then have it turn out that the
baby wasnt dead, it was just in an awkward
(??) position so they couldn't hear the
heartbeat....
