Big news, sad worries

I had to take my fiance to the hospitalfor chronic back pain thatwas severly worsening, and since i hadnt been feeling well myself for some time desided to get checked out while i was there seeing asi have a high risk immune system.
During the blood work they discovered that i ws pregnant, it was the last thing i was expeting to hear. After doing an ultasound and somemore blood work they were able to tell me that i was 6 weeks and 4 (now 6) days pregnant. Unfortunatly thats also when they discovered that the babies heart rate was very low only 48 beats per min and that i had evidence of a second undeveloped pregnancy in my uterus. Ive had two prior miscarridges and i just dont know if i can live through a thrid. I dont fully understand whats going on or how to feel. the doc i saw told me that this is classified as an unviable pregnancy, but she gave me prenatal vitamins and a list of things i cant do. Does this mean theres a chance that things might be ok and i might be able to carry to term?
Im just so freaked out and scared I already love this little baby so much, and i cant help but feel like its somehowmy fault that things are not right.

For 6 weeks.. 48 sound's like a good strong heartbeat... Remember, as the baby get's bigger, the heartbeat will get stronger and faster.... You have a lil' guy so smaller heartbeat...... At 6 weeks, my oldest's was 42..... 2 week's later it was 120..... I'm sure your baby is fine..... I have had a m/c and I know how you feel..... I am sorry you are having to go through this.. Keep us posted.

Oops - I didn't mean to post so quickly. I too have had 2 miscarriages. The only thing that has given me hope is my faith in God. It is only through his strength that I am ready to try again. I will be thinking of you. Let us know how things go.
