I went through the same thing last may. No fetal pull no heart beat no growth I went home to let it happen natural but couldn't wait I knew there was something wrong so I called back and had a DNC within a few days there was nothing else I could do but the DNC was not bad it was easy and just got it over with so I could focus on healing my body and mind! Its very hard going through something like that but good things will happen I'm currently 26 weeks with a healthy baby! Good luck and try to relax
Im so confused idk if I can go thru with the DNC. Because I'm afraid of it happing while at work while I had a few days off next week is why I considered it. But I honestly and so confused and hurting so badly. And listening to your stories is helping me so much. With out you guys I would be so lost. The way you guys are helping me and each other is more than I can ever express.
Yes I'm going to call for a second opinion tomorrow with a completely different group. The numbers are going up but she said not enough and no growth on the ultrasound. I just keep feeling like what if. I know they are over confirming as the doctor says. But I kept asking so it won't grow to a baby??? She keeps saying no.
I had a misscarage last year and the hcg levels can sometimes stay the same in a normal pregnancy but they shouldn't go down. Yours have not gone down so there is still a chance the baby is fine. I would not have a dnc. You are not far enough along to make it medically necessary. It would be better for your body to take the pills or to do it naturally. I would get a second opinion.
I'm so sorry :( this happened to me last February. My baby never developed. As hard as it is, it happens 1 in 4 pregnancies, it isn't anything you did wrong. I decided not to get a D&C and ended up in ER getting one anyway, so listen to your docs. I got pregnant 6 weeks after my D&C and am expecting a little girl in March. Hubby and I still talk about our baby that didn't make it, you don't forget or love them any less, but with time it does get easier...thinking positive thoughts for you today
