here is some info that I found on your diagnosis, but nothing saying that it is the cause for the low heart rate. You might have something called placenta previa that is causing the baby to detach from the uterine wall. Kit and let me know how you are doing and you and your baby are in my prayers

Thanks for your prayers. I think we need them. I have had a really bad day today and can't even keep water down. I have never been sick so many times in my life so I am going to see my doctor a day early and go tomorrow. I will keep you informed.

I'm sorry to hear about this.....Hope you start feeling better!

Hi lichelock

i'm in my 9th week and about 2 weeks ago had severe cramps and bleeding...But at the emergency room they confirmed that the embryo was still attached and my cervics was closed...Since then i've been at home lying around and taking it easy. I also have a ovarian cyst but apparently it doesn't cause any problems for my pregnancy ...The cyst is due to an overstimulation of hormones. The doctor prescribed me utrogestan...It's a progresterone medicine that stops cramping and helps against miscarriages.

Even if the umbiblical cord is coming loose, it can reaffirm its attachment by your staying calm, lying down a lot and sleeping specifically on your left side..Apparently this position helps the embryo breathe better and thus take up more oxygen and thus breathe stronger and have a stronger heart beat!

In the first trimester we have a high level of progresterone and this also makes the embryo sleep more and thus have a slower heartbeat...Any way at 7 weeks, the little one is still muniscule (mine was only 12 mm at 7 weeks) and nature knows what its doing (i hope;-))

in terms of throwing up...I'm not throwing up but can't stomach water!! I'm seeing my specialist tomorrow...And getting a 3rd u/s so hopefully he'll give me advice for the heartburn and nausea...

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you two because I know how it feels to worry and not know if everything is fine...

I had the cysts while pregnant...But they didn't do any harm to me...I don't want to say "yes they have nothing to do with it" but I know I shoulnd't, cause that could be wrong. Good luck hun!!
