When i m/c I saw spotting a few days before and my symptoms vanished, I hadn't had my u/s yet. Then I woke up one morning and I was bleeding. I called a doctor and she said that bleeding can occur but if it gets worse I may m/c.

A few hours later I saw the baby.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but it really sounds like you are. I know what it's like to pray and pray and hope it'll be ok. And I do pray that it is!! But don't forget you are not alone in this. If you do lose the child, give yourself time to mourn and remember that God may have stopped it from having problems, but you WILL have a healthy baby next time. Have faith!! xoxoxox *prays for you*

Unless it's possible that your dates could be off as much as a couple of weeks then your situation doesn't sound to promising I'm sorry to say.  The repeate ultrasound should be able to tell you 100%.  I had a miscarriage several years ago where I was supposed to 12 weeks but I started spotting bright red, they could not find a heartbeat and the baby measured  9 wks 5 days.  We waited to see what would happen but the baby did not continue to develop nor did my body expell anything on it's own, I ended up having a d & c.  Keep in mind that while it is very difficult to go through a miscarraige...it is a very common occurance.  The average healthy woman will endure 1-2 miscarriages throughout her reproductive life.  So long as there are no underlying factors like genetic problems or illness/disease in the mother, it does not affect your ability to become pregnant again and carry a viable fetus to term.  Most miscarraiges occur due to chromosomal abnormalities meaning nature is eliminating a pregnancy that is most likely not conducive to life.  If you are indeed having a miscarriage, take some time to greive for your loss and to heal physically and emotionally.  You will knwo when you are ready to start trying again.  Good luck and please let us know how your next ultrasound goes.

I am Sorry Hun to write this answer because it one You will not want to hear. I had this happen to me Only a month ago and the baby had no heartbeat was meant to be 10 weeks but measured to be 5 weeks. I ended up starting with light spotting which turned into period like and later into a miscarriage.There is also a type of miscarriage where the baby (blighted ovum) may have died earlier and not have formed but it will normally be noticed by the dates as it has not grown the dates do not match up as well as a Missed Miscarriage. Go to Your doctor and while Your waiting for the tests keep rested and try not to stress. It should also be a threatened abortion were there is a chance of losing the baby but it does not always mean it will happen. Keep your feet elevated Goodluck

Hey there I'm sorry to hear what ur going thru the same thing happened to me in feb 10! Very stressful time for u as u just want to know everthings ok but it's just constant waiting!!  I had no bleeding but the ultasound showed the baby stopped growin at 6wks 6days and they couldn't find a heartbeat! If ur bleeding is quite heavy it cud well be a miscarriage, do u have any cramping or a sore back? I've also heard that sometimes bleeding can happen so I've my fingers crossed for you that everything will be ok!! If ur symptoms persist go to ur doctor, in the mean time I'll say a little prayer for you as I know how awful a time it is for you!! Xx
