[Original Post]

I am at 20 weeks gestation. At 16 weeks I found out there was no signifigant growth in my baby, my HCG levels were dropping, and the heartrate was dropping. Without really knowing a reason. My husband and I decided to allow a 2 week test injection of steroids/hormones. I go back to the dr tomorrow, but I am very scared that things are not right. I have been here before and carried full term with a baby only the size of about a 5 month old fetus that died prior to birth.

I have been told a couple of things in prep for this visit tomorrow. 1. I can allow things to happen naturally; 2. I can terminate; 3. I can birth; 4. things may just be perfect. Of course, I hope for the 4th option, but in worse case, I do not feel I can terminate.

Has anyone been in these shoes, at this stage, and opted for natural? I am terified but trying to prepare myself. I wish someone could tell me WHY instead of hearing "it's just not meant to be".

Am I alone?

Thank you,
With love to you all,
J

Just to update anyone who is reading this (I really pray for some responses), it's all in a Higher Power's hands now completely. Time will tell what is meant to be. There's no significant change and in fact the numbers are dropping.

Please someone help me here.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. What happened?

....I had an ectopic preg. It was the worst physical and emotional pain I'd ever had.

I hope your news is good!
