Pregnancy Info HOME

good morning my husband and i we're haveing some problem's with the doctor's and the hospital. we went to hospital the other day for pain and blood in my urine. while i was there the doctor's told me that i had an empty sac and i had a misscarriage and the pregnancy was in my tube well by now they wanted to have the D/C done we did not agree to it. so the let us go home said it was possiable that i hade a urine infection so they gave me the med's to help the the infection. ant they wanted to operate on me to take out what they think was a optopice pregnancy. i also declined that so they sent me home this all happend on 5/17/6 so the next day i went to my doctor and he told me the same thing since there was no heart beat then there was a good chance that i already had a misscarriage and i had a biopsy done so they could see were the pregnancy is. i was still haveing the same pain went back to the same hospital had another ultrasound done and this time they found a baby but no heart beat now keep in mind this is all in 24 hour's i don't know what to think i think there wrong about my baby. and @ how many week should i hear i heartbeat. should i truest my doctor because they were wrong the first time. is possiable that i do i have a healthy pregnancy and my date's and there date's is off. the ultrasound show's me being 5 weeks but my number's say i should be about 6 weeks and 5 days. please help me i realy want my baby. if any one was the answer to my problem plese fell free to e-mail me @ bananaleaky@hotmail.com

It is very normal not to hear a heartbeat until after 6 weeks. I wouldn't worry. I'm not sure why your doctor would have worried either, unless he thinks you should be further along then you are measuring.

hi guys guess what today i went to the doctor and guess what happend? i've got a heartbeat i'm so happy that i did not have the D/C or that shot. see only good could make that choice and not a doctor and it also maybe a multiple birth...... HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

thats pretty early to check for a heartbeat. your doc would need to be a good sonographer. if youre exactly five weeks Id wait a week and a half.

how lucky I found this forum. yesterday it was our first appointment with my doctor. my first pregnancy, and of course very special like every baby. 6 w 1 d. and 8 mm. but unfortunately no heartbeat on ultrasound. the doctor was so sure while telling us I should have a D&C in 4-5 days. I have no cramping/bleeding or something negative. I arranged another appointment with an other doctor just to be sure. Pray for mine and for yours.

Please advise?????????????? I am so upset. just I mentioned above (how lucky I found this forum. yesterday it was our first appointment with my doctor. my first pregnancy, and of course very special like every baby. 6 w 1 d. and 8 mm. but unfortunately no heartbeat on ultrasound. the doctor was so sure while telling us I should have a D&C in 4-5 days.

Devrims--I am very sorry that your doctor gave you bad news! Honestly, I would wait it out and go see another doctor. There are so many stories on here of ladies in the same boat as you and then everything turns out ok! Sometimes doctors are wrong! I will keep you in my prayers! Best of luck to you! Please let me know how you are doing!

hey devrims listen listen to me good i hope it's not to late dont let those doctors touch you there not god give your body some time to produce a fetal pole please because they we're worg about me i was 6 weeks and 5 day and they did not see any thing they we're ready to have me done a D&C i told them no because was not passing any tissue i was spotting and crampy i gave my body time and 7 days later i had i baby and a heart beat give your body time doctor's are not god. good luck and i'll be praying for you. and did say now i' 14 weeks and 1 day

I also agree, I have never picked up a heart beat till 7 weeks and I have 3 kids. Pls don't stress, I really wouldn't have expected to see one at 5 weeks, I'm sure all will be fine, good luck

Devrims--Any word yet? I hope you are doing ok!

Dear Friends, thank you very much for your replies. On thursday I had cramps and some brownish spotting. And I lost 2 kilos in three day's time. And on friday I visited another doctor. He examined me. Then examined baby with ultrasound. He said to me "you see Devrim, that's his heart beating" of course I began crying. I thougt world has stopped. Because of my eye drops I saw nothing, then the doctor increased the volume, and the heratbeats of my little baby was all over the room. I was happier than the day of possitive hpt. I did not tell this to my husband till the night. At nigt he came from work I hugged him and whispered to him so "today I heard the most beautiful song of my life and of course I couldn't help crying. At first he couldn't understand what I meant then he asked the song. And I said that pit-pit-pit-pit-pit-pit.... that's the heartbeat of our baby... he was so happy and shocked.... And the doctor told me that sometimes it's better to listen the voice our inside than the doctor. I made so. Thanks to the mesages here I could have heard the voice deep inside me... I wish good luck for all of you....

Devrims--Oh I am SO happy for you! See, aren't you glad you saw another doctor. Doctors CAN be wrong! Always trust your instinct! Best of luck to you and your healthy little bundle of joy!

Hi. I had some spotting June 27 and 28. Light spotting. June 28th, I took a test and found out I was pregnant! Shocked but happily pregnant! July 3rd I went to the ER with sharp but dull at the same time, if that makes sense, pains in my lower left abdomen. No more spotting since those 2 days. I have had the nausea and all signs of pregnancy. I also had an U/S on July 3rd. I dont know the numbers, but when I go back to the doctor this Wednesday, I will find those out, now seeing how important they are to know. I do know that on the U/S, they were able to find the sac, but no baby. My sac measured 3 mm. I went back 10 days later and my sac was 15mm, but they had to greatly enlarge the view to see what they had found inside my sac. It measured 1mm the radiologist said. no hearbeat of course. That was last Thursday. This week, my doctor has sent me to have blood drawn Tues, Thur and today. I go the 25th for my 3rd U/S and wed to get the results of the bloodwork and U/S. terrified. I dont know what to expect. she said possible blighted ovum, but the radiologist said it was a good sign and to keep in mind that my sac had grown 5 times. but what was inside, was barely registering, and didnt even give a "date" of how far along i was. what does this mean???????????? is it perhaps i am just not far along at all??? that when i was spotting,t hat was when the egg actually implanted??? but that 2nd day i spotted is when i got the positive on my home test. so i am deeply confused. i have not had any cramping, the sharp/dull pains in my lower left have gone away, they dont come around anymore, and i havent bled at all, just the spotting for 2 days and it wasnt bad at all. i just noticed b/c i was looking for my monthly to come.

can someone tell me something?? I have spent hours reading through here, and its been helpful and somewhat reassuring, yet, i didnt see anything about someone having my kind of pains that went away.

aghhh i am confused and sad and tuesday and wednesday are sooo far away.

I am in a similar situation. I went in for my 2nd u/s on monday at 6w3d. We are certain of pg week since it's based on IUI/ovulation day and not LMP. If it was based on LMP I would have been 6w4. So, I was expecting to see the fetal pole and heartbeat but it wasn't there. The getstational sac had grown since my last u/s at 5w3d and there was the addition of the yolk sac but no fetal pole or heartbeat. From what I've read, if you are certain of conception date, it seems I shoudl have seen that by now. I'm so concerned because this is my first pregnancy ever after almost 2 years of trying and fertility treatments. Why can't something go as planned just once. I go back in tomorrow and I'm praying that the little bean has grown and starts beating. The gestational sac was about 18-20mm so the size of that is just right. Is it normal to not see a fetal pole or heartbeat with a sac that size?

hi! i know that i am no help but i just wanna share my experience.On my first pregnancy, doctors detected that on the 8th week there is still an empty sac plus there is no heart beat - got operated. And now im 9th week pregnant and again empty sac and no heart beat.According to the doctors there is nothing wrong with me or my husband... but how can they say there's nothing wrong if i will be operated again next week if there is still no heartbeat

I have healthy 7 yrs old girl. I am pregent and I had u/s at 6 1/2 week. doctor said fetal pole, sac looked ok but no heart beat. Dcotor gave 50/50 chance. I had started spotting for a week or so now. Today 7 1/2 weeks we had another visit and sad news after U/S no heart beat and fetus/sac has shrunk and shifted below with ovel shape... started cramping bad and sked d&c Friday. I am sad and at loss and asking why it happend to me.. my wished and good luck to all who is in same situation
