10 weeks, fetus 10 weeks but no heartbeat

[VONZ]

I went for my first u/s when I was 10 weeks & 5 days. The midwife verified the size & development of fetus also 10 weeks & 5 days, however we could not trace a heartbeat. Also had a transvaginal u/s with the same result. This means that the fetus died that day or night previously. This is all too much for me to comprehend. The gyno confirmed diagnosis. Since 3 days I no longer feel pregnant & am now waiting to miscarry. I am overwhelmed with emotions & tried to continue working, however could not so therefore I am at home with my daugther (2 y/o) How long will it take to Miscarry? I want to let nature take its course, however I have an appt at the gyno on Thurs (2 weeks after no hb traced) to discuss D&C etc. Has anyone been in the same situation????

Thank you so much. I am 42 andafter 20 years of marriage thought that I would never have children. I became pregnant and we were over the moon. I went for my 12 week ultrasound yesterday and the baby had no heartbeat and was measured at 9 weeks. My husband and I are absolutely devestated as this may have been our only chance to have a baby. I am scheduled for a D&C next week but am hoping to miscarry naturally before then.

It is so nice to hear that others have been in this situation and have worked through it.

I am glad my story can help you. Each day I get better. Each day it gets a little easier to talk about. I know as soon as the doc says we can try again we will.  Thats what keeps me going. I now know that I can get pregnant and that was my fear at first that I wouldn't even be able to get pregnant but now that I have we will work very hard to get pregnant again and pray for a better outcome this time. I am so sorry for your lose and pray that you get pregnant again and have a better outcome as well. I was so heart broken. I trried reading some poems from other mothers but it was too heard to read some of them. I feel your pain and hope everything works out for you.

I also had a m/c on jan 28th I have had 2 healthy babys b4 this and thought this would never happen to me, I am still shocked that it did. On reading the stories of every brave woman who has been willing to put her story on here has eased my pain some how. you also have helped with this so I pray the Lord showers His blessings on your life and pray for your future baby much love lou x

I am so sorry for your lose. I too had a miscarriage on 1/25/11 and I burst into tears when I was told there was no heart beat. My husband I have been trying for almost a year and to finally get pregnant was so exciting. I had a bad feeling and just so happens I had an appt that afternoon. I asked if I could have an ultrasound to ease my nerves only to find out the heart beat had stopped with the last 24 hours. I was almost 10 weeks so I had a D&C 1/28/2011.  I was scared since I had never had any kind of surgery before. But it wasn't all that bad. I had alot of cramping for a few days but here I am a week later and im just barely spotting. I have continued working so I could stay busy. I find my self sitting at home thinking about everything. I will have results from my doctor in a few weeks. I praying they can tell me what went wrong. I understand how upsetting this can be as I was crushed but I am ready for the doctor to release me to have intercourse so we can try again. I know one day I will have a healthy baby. I have prayed every day that things will work out and I have faith that they will and im praying the same for you.


To all of you who have suffered from losing a baby in any way, you have all of my sympathy. I now know how hard that is and pray all of you have a better out come in the future. I am truly sorry for everything you have been through.

Hi all

I havnt been feeling well for the last few days not morning sickness but a strange sickness and had some spotting on wednesday (dark brown blood), phoned the midwife and was told to go to eraly pregnancy clinic.  I had already gone there at 5 weeks and was told i was having twins then again at 7 weeks to be told there was only one heart beat.  so this morning i went to have the u/s and knew someting was up when i was told could not see a clear picture and would i mind having an internal scan, and still no heart beat, colleuge came in and confirmed no heart beat and looks like it had stopped groing at 8.5 weeks, i just brust into tears,and have been cyring all morning.  I have a 2.5yrs old and had no problems with him, but suffered with seizuers after him, and it took me a year and a half to get pregnant as i have irregualr periods.  I am booked in on wednesday to remove the pregnancy as i feel like i can put some clousure on it rather than wait 2/3 weeks for nature to take its course.  I am lost, confused................and just feel empty.
