Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello everyone. I hope I can offer a little hope to you guys. I've had four children and six early miscarriages. I am now nine weeks pregnant. At 4 wks my hcg was 40. Two days later, it was 138. At 6 wks it was only 3503, and two days later it had only risen to 4500. No heartbeat could be seen at 6 wks 2 days. It looked pretty hopeless. But after a prayerful week, I had another ultrasound, and there was a heartbeat! The nurse was shocked. Since then, my hcg has only creeped up gradually, but I had another ultrasound at 8 wks 2 days and the heartbeat was still there and going strong. The fetus measures too small, and there's some blood behind the placenta, but my doctor says a heartbeat above 100bpm is all he needs to see. Our little peanut's heartbeat is 150bpm. I have a friend who was told she was miscarrying and needed a d&c because she was bleeding and they couldn't find a heartbeat, but when she was actually on the operating table her doctor had a bad feeling about it and did another ultrasound and found a heartbeat! Just don't give up! Doctors are great, but just human. Treat your body as if you are pregnant if you believe you are, and don't let them do a d&c or medications to induce a miscarriage unless absolutely necessary. Remember, miracles do happen! Just wait for yours. God bless you all.
