THE DOCTOR SAYS I HAVE A MISCARRIAGE BUT IM NOT SURE??

[TRINAMOUA]

WELL IM NOT SURE WHEN I HAD MY LAST PERIOD BUT I WENT IN FOR AN ULTRASOUND AND THEY COULN'T FIND A HEARTBEAT AND THEY MEASURE MY BABY AND SAID ITS IN THE 6 WEEK SO BY THAT THEIR GUESSING I HAVE A MISCARRIAGE..IM BLEEDING A LITTLE AND CRAMPING IT COMES AND GOES!!
I TOLD THE DOCTORS THAT AND THEY SAID IT NORMAL BUT I DONT KNOW WHY THEY WOULD THEN COME BACK AND TELL ME I MIGHT HAVE AN MISCARRIAGE!!

Hi!
MOST of the time we can see a fetal heart beat by 6 weeks.  If they could see a fetal pole and there was no heart beat, that is definitely not normal.  If they could not see a fetal pole or a heart beat, it could be that you are too early, and those things will develop within a week or so.  The bleeding and cramping are not good signs unfortunately.
If you were my patient, I would do a quantitative HCG level and then repeat it in 48 hours. If the level is rising normally ( it should approximately double every 48 hours) then I would repeat an ultrasound in 5-7 days. IF the level was not rising, or falling, I would discuss three options with you ( this means a miscarriage)
1> Let nature take its course
2>take medication to help speed up the miscarriage
3>a d&c to get it over and done with soonest
There are pros and cons to all of the above.
I hope you are just too early!
Good luck!
Dr B

i am currently 9 weeks pregnant and started bleeding yesterday early afternoon i havent really had any pain??? can you tell me if im likely to be having a miacarrage?

[jamjap]

i wouldn't worry too much about the bleeding i was told it was natural but i would get it checked by a scan i started bleeding around the same time but got pain after the 1st few hours of bleeding and sadly it was ectopic, hope u and baby r ok

hello,
  oh please don't strees



please don't strees.if there is no pain don't strees.the main reason i think to have a miscary is the strees and worries.the bleeding is not a big deal.when we saw blood suddenly bad things come in mind.but take it easy.and take a rest as much u can and make ur mind free.i thought for me the main reason i loose my last baby because of the strees.when i saw blood suddenly i was strees a lot!!!take a rest!!!!! god is there everything will be fine!!

you should have blood work to see where your hcg levels are at.

OK first stop stressing stressing will make you more likely to micsarege second if they couldnt find the heartbeat you may have already lost the baby but continue taking care of urself and visit the doctor weekly instead of just routine cheks so u can tell if you are still pregnat i hope you have not lost your chil but if so i am verry orry and i am here if u want to talk good luck
