Was Told That Im Having a Miscarriage Posted: 02-17-06 00:16am
:( hello, I went to my doctor on my
first visit and they told me that my due
date was wrong cause the baby was too
small but the heartbeat was about 105 to
come back for another ultasound in two
weeks. I went back on tuesday and found
out that my baby had no heartbeat and has
not growning since my first visit.They
went to take some test to check the hcg
level.Cause it look like I was going to
have a miscarriage.I went for the blood
test on tuesday and another one today now
they tell me that i'm having a miscarriage
even through i'm not showing any signs of
bleeding or camping.The hcg was very low
and they want to do a d&c.I dont know
what to think as this is my six
pregnancy.I never had a miscarriage
before.Both me and my husband are scared
and worried and under how did this
happern.We dont know what to think.Should
I go ahead with the d&c or get a
second opinion?
Sandy :(

I am so sorry you're going through this.
It's truly one of the worst things you'll
ever have to deal with.
I went in at 12 weeks and they couldn't
find the heartbeat, I was sent to get an
ultrasound and found out the baby hadn't
grown since 8 weeks. They told me I was
miscarrying and that I could let it happen
naturally or have a d&e. I decided
that I couldn't sit around waiting to lose
my baby so I scheduled the d&e.
Unfortunately my appointment wasn't for a
week later. That was the worst week of my
life. In total my baby had been dead for
5 weeks and I never experienced any
cramping or bleeding and I still had signs
of being pregnant. The night before my
d&e I started spotting. I know this
is a really hard time for you but I
recommend the d&c. I went in and they
gave me something that made me sleep. I
remember being wheeled to the surgery room
and then I woke up in a recovery room
feeling like it was 1 minute later. I
went home and slept all day and I didn't
remember any of the surgery. I didn't
have any cramping or bleeding after either
(though I think this might be rare). The
first few weeks following my miscarriage
were horrible. At first I held it all in
but then I found that talking about it
made me feel better. Things are going to
be tough for a while but you'll get
through this. I am so sorry for your
loss. Please feel free to pm me. :hugs:

this is a lot of what I went through. I
was suppose to be 13w 3d and he was
measured as 8w 6d. So I carried him
around for 5 weeks dead also.
It definitely gets easier. Cry as much as
you need to!

Honestly the d&c would be the best way
to go because of the chance of infection

i agree. That's the way I went. If your
baby has been in there for 5 weeks and
still hasn't extracted it self out, then
that would definitely be the best route..
Good luck!
