Saw Baby's Heartbeat, But No Sign of Growing???
Posted: 05-25-05 06:29am

Hi,
i just wondered if anyone out there has any idea about my scans, i've had 3 so far due to bleeding and each time the fetus is there with its heart beating and everything looks ok, but they have told me that it it hasn't grown in the last 6 days and that I will miscarry.... Is that definate, does anyone else have similar happenings? I'm around 6 weeks acording to the 1st scan thanks for your time :)

If a heartbeat is seen the chances of miscarrying go down pretty low. I've never been in your situation but I have been in a similar one. I don't think that they can predict with 100% accuracy that you will miscarry. I had pretty bad bleeding off and on for the first trimester. My dr and I were convinced that I was going to miscarry...I now have a happy and healthy little boy.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for that, I did think maybe the heartbeat was a good sign even though they said possible enevitable miscarriage... I'm just really confused, being pregnant is sooo scary!! :)

I am more than happy to answer questions!! It was these kinds of boards that got me through my pregnancy!!


Wanabamom--around 6 weeks I had light spotting (a week before I learned I was pregnant)
at 7wks 3 days (the day I found out I was pregnant) I spotted all day.
At 9wks I had bright red bleeding that lasted for 2 days (very heavy with clots)
at 12wks 6days..I was lying on the couch watching a movie and stood up to go to the bathroom...When I got up blood was running down my leg. It was bright red with lots of clots it lasted for about 4 days.

At around 14wks...All bleeding stopped and baby was fine :)

all of my bleeding was unexplained. I had u/s after u/s and they could find nothing at all wrong.

Sorry if it's a little graphic.
