No heartbeat at 7 weeks

[faythb3]

I went to my doctor yesterday and according to them I'm 8 weeks today, but when they did the sono there was no heartbeat. Not only is this my first pregnancy but it was also barely my second appointment and the sonographer scared me to death she even said "it looks like there was a baby and now there isn't". I'm sorry but wth?! Now I'm terrified. I have n appointment on Tuesday and the doctor said if there's no heartbeat by then it's not going to be good news. I'm terrified to death my husband and I were so excited I'll just be devastated if there's no heartbeat. He said everything was normal and progressing just fine except for the heartbeat. I'm just so scared and no one who really knows what to tell me. Has anyone else had something similar like this happen?? I just need some hope...

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. My husband and I have suffered two miscarriages in a row, both of them were "missed miscarriages" where my body didn't start to pass anything naturally and the miscarriage was discovered by ultrasound showing arrested growth and no heartbeat. Both ended in d&c procedures and we are currently in a holding pattern waiting for my body to heal so that we can try again.
Your situation unfortunately is not uncommon. One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. It is so hard. It is so exciting to find out that you're pregnant, to start planning and dreaming, and then to find out that things didn't work out after all. It is hard to grieve for the loss of something that was so new and yet loved so much.
I can only wish you peace and send my condolences. Take time to grieve through this process and I hope that you have good luck conceiving again in the near future. Best wishes.

Don't lose faith doctors don't usually set up a sono gram or check for a heartbeat so soon.. why are they putting you through so much stress... I would change doctors offices asap.. they usually either give you prenatal pills and set you up with a next appointment for a couple weeks later..   mostly a month later..

I went through the same. I had two sacs at week 7 but no heartbeat. Doc said to come back in a week and check for the heart beat again. Since he  couldn't find any, I had a d&c done at week 10

I'm afraid that your case looks similar. The heart is formed as early as week 5-6 so by 7 you should be able to see it on an ultrasound.

I'm 7 weeks pregnant now, and a week ago I saw my baby's heart beating already

Anyway it goes, I wish you good luck and please keep us updated!

I'm so sorry sweetie you're going thru that, but I hope that is not something bad and the next time u go, they find a heartbeat, I'll be praying for u, I know how hard it is when something like that happens

Thank you everyone I feel much more hopeful and I thinkthat the doctor is just to eager to hear something. Everything is going to be just fine! :)

I went in to my Dr a week ago I was 16 weeks and now I am 17 weeks. My Dr did not measure me or try to listen to baby. He scheduled me an appointment for another two weeks for my ob visit.  I think it is too early for them to check and be sure. If they think it may be a possibility then they could have informed you and said that it is too early to know for sure. If they are going by your period for due date they may be off. I was 2 weeks farther along by ultrasound than my period. You may not be as far along they think you may not be able to hear the heartbeat.

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I had a doc appt yesterday doc couldn't find a heart beat so she took me into another  room for a ultrasound. She showed me the baby but no movment so she had me get a stat ultrasound done at another office.  The office called me and said they where completely booked and I had to go into another office at 515. I did not wait unit 5:15 to see What was wrong with my Baby so I went to the emergency room and had the ultrasound done there. Baby was fine heard the heart beat. Doc told me sometimes they move to a spot where we can't see or hear the heart beat. I know the feeling not knowing what's wrong with the baby. Dont give up hope if ur really worried i would just go into the emergency room.

Keep faith, this isnt a hope for the beat expect the worst kinda situation. Hope for the best and worry about the worst if it comes! Good luck to you. I didnt have my first appointment until 12 weeks.

I didn't get to hear baby's heartbeat till 15 weeks.... My Dr refused to check before then so I wouldnt worry about it... I had a ultrasound at 5 weeks and there was no heartbeat so maybe your not as far as you think... Don't stress.. I'm 24 weeks now.... I know its hard... But trust your body.... And if this pregnancy isn't viable you can try again... I do wish you the best and I will keep you in my prayers... Good luck mama xoxo

I was 10 weeks when my dr checked amd she told me not to worry we may not hear anything until a little later so dont worry im sure all will be fine!

sorry to hear that must be awful. good luck for Tuesday and I hope all goes well ♡

[SaSa28]

wow thats crazy... my doctor dose not even check for hart beet untill further in to the pregnancy then that. he said in the early couple of month you cant always  hear the hart beet. so maybe in a couple of weeks it will be another story

I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulty, but keep your faith, all is not lost yet. 3 years ago, I suffered a miscarriage. It was devastating. However, one month later I was pregnant again and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. In your case, it could just be that the baby is hiding-- sometimes they do that. Even if things don't end happily just remember that everything happens for a reason and you can always try again. I will be praying that all turns out OK.

I'm sorry that's happening to you.  Try not to stress until you have your appointment Tuesday. You usually can't hear it before now so maybe it was just too faint. I hope so:)
