Pregnancy Info HOME

I've been reading all of your posts and I'm happy for a lot of you and my prayers go out to everyone else. Consider you're babies little miracles, of course, and never take for granted a smile or a coo or a stinky diaper. I miscarried 8/3/05 two days before I was supposed to have my first doctor's visit and ultrasound. I guesstimated that I was approximately 11 weeks but I may have been less - I'm not really sure when my last mp was but I was really looking forward to having this baby because I knew this was going to be my girl. I have two babies already (two sons) both c-section babies and I have to wonder if maybe that could play a part in my miscarrying. The doctor told me he wanted to wait a week to see if I'd pass the fetus instead of doing a DNC right a away so we waited a week. I haven't passed anything just a lot of cramping and bleeding. Tomorrow I'm scheduled for an DNC at 9am and I guess the reality will set in then. Do they give you another ultrasound to be sure before doing the DNC? How early is too early for them to be unable to detect a heartbeat? Would they have heard it at 11 weeks? Has anyone ever continued to have a menstrual cycle during a pregnancy? Anyway, I'm having so much bleeding and cramping now I know that there is no miracle in store for me. I guess I was just hopeful. My fiancee and I will continue to try though...I just wish I didn't have to go through this. I don't wish this on any woman....take care all.
