I had this with my first son, u/s at 6 weeks and no heart beat. Back at 8 weeks and there he was beating away. I have miscarried 4 times and I felt the difference In my body. With Jacob like u said.I still felt pregnant, with the miscarriages I knew something was wrong. I have 2 boys one 5 n one 2 and I am currently 37+5 pregnant with my third a little girl. X
This would be my 4th pregnancy I misscarried 2 times before once at 6 and 9 weeks and I have a 5 year old
I have read of heartbeat not being detected at 6 weeks and being picked up later. Your doctor can deal with the blood disorders am sure. Age is not a big deal though but doctors r just hysterical when pple are over 35. Many pple proceed to have normal kids.
The RH factor is never an issue with first pregnancies.
Has anyone else had the same experience
I am considered high risk due to the two blood disorders and my age my ob said due to baby possibly becoming anemic resulting from antibodies attacking his/her blood and the problems I had my last pregnancy I have to be monitored early in pregnancy trying to keep positive but its hard when my doctor is not sure of a normal pregnancy
It's really too early to look for a heartbeat. If the doctor sees the sac and the baby appears to be growing according to dates, most likely all is ok. A lot of times, even after 8 weeks, docs still can't find a heartbeat. This is why I think getting prenatal care too early really isn't helpful.
