NO FETAL HB FOUND AT 11 Weeks but detected at 7 weeks - HELP!!

[mom_of_a_boy]

This is my second pregnancy (first one was smooth sailing), and I am a little afraid (again) for this particular pregnancy.  It seems like this baby is making us worry more than not!  I went in for my routine check up at 11 weeks 0 days and the doctor could not find a heartbeat using the Doppler.  So, she tried transabdominally on the Ultrasound and still no luck.  The baby is measuring right on, so if it did indeed die, it died very recently.  No signs whatsoever of miscarriage (no cramps, no spotting, etc.) I am scheduled for another u/s (which I will demand transvaginally this time) in one week.  The last u/s I had, the baby had a strong heartbeat (at about 7 weeks).  Has anyone had this issue this late and still had the baby survive?  VERY worried.  (The first worry came at week 5 when the u/s said I had an empty sac and possibly molar pregnancy.  We spent two weeks in utter turmoil, but when we saw only one healthy baby and a heartbeat at 7 weeks, we were instantly relieved and had stopped my worrying, until now.).  I love my doctor and she will not do a D&C (which I am happy about) until it is completely necessary.  She would rather me wait it out and if I miscarry, then I do it naturally.  PLEASE HELP!!!

We did another u/s last Tuesday and confirmed no growth and no heartbeat.  Thursday I was induced at almost 13 weeks and had a miscarriage that day.  We named him/her Alex, as we did not know the sex yet.  I lost too much blood and had to be taken to the hospital.  All is well and I am recovering.  Sad times.  Pray for our next pregnancy (our doctor told us to try again after 1 more cycle).  She is truly the most amazing doctor and I feel so blessed to have had her at a time like this.  I couldn't imagine having my previous doctor during this time.  She stayed at her office with me overtime (2 hours) until I had to be in the hospital.  A good doctor that share your values is worth a million.

So sorry to hear your news. My condolences to you and the father. Grief affects everyone differently, so go easy on yourself.

A doctor like that is extremely rare, keep hold of her.

Best wishes for your next pregnancy xx
