11 weeks pregnant and TERRIFIED something is wrong!!

Hi,
Just a quick background. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl 9lbs13ounces in May 2008.  Pregnancy was perfect, not a glitch until the actual labour. I had placenta accreta (sorry if that isn't spelled properly) but basically my placenta was stuck to my uterus so i had some heavy bleeding during my csection. I found out in October of this year that we are expecting baby #2.  The first 8 weeks went perfectly but at nine weeks i had a little spotting. I immediately went to the hospital fearing the worst that the baby had died. After doing an internal (cervix was closed), blood work and an ultrasound i recieved great news that the baby actually was alive and i was right on as far as growth.  Baby was moving and there was a perfect little heartbeat.  They wanted me to go back and get my blood checked 48 hours later. When those results came back the doctor called me and told me my hcg (pregnancy hormone) had not increased.  So now i'm back to thinking that this baby isn't going to make it or has died in the meantime. I'm now 11 weeks 4 days and had to go back in today to get more blood taken.  I haven't recieved a call about the results yet but i'm terrified. Has anyone else had similar experience. I guess i don't understand how baby could have looked so fine on the ultrasound but two days later my hormones are not increasing? Ugh i'm terrified and if anyone could help i'd really appreciate it
