Pregnancy Problems Posted: 10-17-03 00:50am


When I went to the doctor for the first time during this pregnancy I was nine weeks pregnant. My baby looked healthy during the ultrasound. A few days later I started having stomach cramps so I went to my doctor the next day. He did an ultrasound and sent me to the hospital to have another one done that would show a better picture. They could not find a heartbeat, but my baby has grown since then. Is it possible that it is too early in the pregnancy to tell? I have another baby and my pregnancy was very sucessful. How could this one have went wrong? My doctor sugest a dnc, should I have one or wait? Please help!

Dear tonya, you should be able to see a heart beat at 9 weeks on an ultrasound, and if they couldn't then that is not a good sign. It is up to you whether or not you wish to wait another couple of weeks to have another ultrasound to detect your baby's heartbeat. If your baby is not growing or is not alive you will most probably miscarry sometime soon anyway. If you are feeling fine, not bleeding and no cramps, then I would probably give it a chance. It may be ok. Signs of a threatened miscarriage to watch out for are heavy bleeding, blood containing tissue or clots, abdomen pain, and especially lower back pain. Good luck, I hope everything works out ok for you. .::suzy::.
