Why does a Fetal Heart Stop Beating?
I just found out that I m/c for the second time. This time the baby was 9weeks and fourdays. I'm supposed to be 11 weeks pregnant. I thought everything was find...but Iwas wrong. I'm going in for a D&C tomorrow.
I'm just wondering...will the D&C lessen my chances of having a healthy child?
Why did the heart stop beating when everything else was just fine?
Should I have my OB examine the fetal tissue? She says that it will not really show anything. She says that it is more helpful for us to just have a work-up done for myself and my husband...what will this entail?
Life is a nightmare right now...and I don't know what to do.

I went in for a normal visit w my OB at 10 weeks and no heartbeat. We just heard it the week before nice and strong. To say we are devastated would be an understatement. It's my 2nd pregnancy. The baby is still inside me. Every second of everyday I look at the bump rub it and cry. I look pregnant. I feel pregnant. We want to try again but I don't want to " replace" this baby. I've never experienced such an incredible emotional pain. Why does the heartbeat stop???
I am new to this site and new to being pregnant.. I was 11 weeks yesterday. My husband has a Robertsonian translocation that can cause me to have several miscarriages. My brother in law has the same defect and my sister in law suffered two pregnancy losses where the hearts just stopped. If you have a chance to test the baby I would most def do so.. And if they are found to have trisomy or monosomy 13,14,15,21 or 22.. I would undoubtedly do some DNA testing on yourself and your husband. It would answer many questions.
My 25 year old Daughter is 4 months and 2 weeks pregnant, last night she started to spot a light pink blood, we went to the emergency room and they did two U/S and even though the baby is fully formed, there was no heartbeat. It was curled up as if sleeping, they don't know what happened, and of course-she, her partner, and we her family are truly saddened by this, it was her first pregnancy.
She was classed as a High Risk pregnancy from the very beginning, because she's 50lbs overweight, and has a Thyroid condition called Hashimoto (I have same Thyroid condition) and she was once type 2 diabetic but had lost the weight to eliminate that, but would of been doing the Glucose testing in another 3 weeks.
She will go to her Doctor today, and surgery will be scheduled, that part is just as sad, they'll run tests to see what could of possibly caused this, she had just been to the Doctor 2 weeks ago and the baby's heartbeat was nice and strong, and was moving around in there.
It's hard as a Mom to see her Daughter have to go through this, and I can only imagine what she is feeling right now. I myself have Endometriosis and have had 3 live births, and 8 Miscarriages, so to be into the 2nd trimester and thinking about what color to paint the baby's room, and picking out baby names, as she and her life partner were doing, this is So very sad to witness, and for the first time in all these years of being a Mom (I have a 33 year Daughter, 31 year old son, and this would of been my 2nd grand child) I feel helpless as a Mom because she is so sad.
I say this to all the Women who are going through this, and who have gone through this, No words any of us can say will take away the pain you have felt, or are feeling right now, all I know is-some how, some way..one day, you'll make it through. One Day At A Time. I wish Peace, Love and Light to all of you special women out there, and that you join your local hospitals Grief group to help you through this.
I'm truly sorry for all of your losses. Ms. M Dietrich Chicago, IL

Oh, I'm so very sorry to hear this sweetie. Big hugs as I'm sure this is hard. peace
I am so sad for every ones loss. I found out today 07/09/2013 during my 9th week u/s that the baby stopped growing ( heart beat stopped). This was my first pregnancy. I thought every thing is going fine. All was well at 7th week but for some reason couldn't see the heart beat today at 9th week. I am completely devastated. I told my doctor that I want to wait on this one more week and then do the u/s again. My heart did not agree to do the D&C right away. I have scheduled for an u/s next week 07/16/2013. If I miscarry before 16th then I won't go for u/s. I hope for some miracle to happen and see the heart beat again. Please comment what i did was right or wrong. I am not sure when the heart beat stopped. The last time I saw heart beat was two weeks back. I hope I do not get infaction or any thing by waiting on this one more week. Please post your comments.
My story is no different than you all. I recently had a dr appoint to find out that their is no heartbeat. I was 17 weeks and 2 days and my baby was healthy. I couldn't believe it and then went to a gyn which was a best friend of mine. He sadly told me that the news was true, he sat their looking and trying to tell me what is wrong, but at the end he told me that the baby had no problems his growth his body everything was excellent. Unexplained death, that's hard to hear. We need to know why so maybe it would be easier. I don't know. I am just physically stressed out. I felt his kicks I heard his heartbeat, I saw his body. This is my second miscarriage my first was at 7 weeks so I was sure this one was gonna be o.k. I am going to start again once my period comes I really need to be pregnant again with the first I waited for a couple if years but this time I want to do it faster. I wanted to know if anyone news of anything I can take or eat that can help my pregnancy stick. I only took iron and prenatal vitamin before. Thanks and I wish us all a healthy pregnancy. Baby dust to all.
