I'm sorry hun I had a missed miscarriage after the loss of a month old baby. I know its not easy but you can't blame yourself. You didn't do anything wrong. Something just didn't add up right in conception. A lot of women go through this & down the road have beautiful healthy babies. I wish you the best of luck!. Hugs*

Thanks for all the support, procedure couldnt be done today because the hospital ward was full, have to go back to the hospital on Monday. I just want it to be over if I indeed had this missed miscarriage. I feel so sad, depressed, frustrated, angry and hurt all at the same time. I'm so irritated with everybody telling me to be strong

I am sorry for your loss. Please dont blame yourself.  Its not your fault.   No one knows why these things happen.  Its ok to be strong but its ok to also cry.  Perhaps let your husband know how much you need his support right now. Its so devastating what ur experiencing

Had my doctor visit yesterday and the worst has been realised I had a missed miscarriage, the sack is not raptures so I go into hospital for them to do the procedure to rapture the sack. I'm being strong for my family but deep down I am so scared. In addition to that my husband and I are not on very good terms right now and somehow I think I blame because of the stress I have been under for the past month or so

I'm seeing my doctor today and I'm praying that its just a matter of miscalculation on everyone behalf and that my baby is just fine. Don't think I can go through another miscarriage

Are you sure that you conceived when you did? I went by my last period and I was off because I ovulated almost 2 weeks late.

I'm 9 weeks as well. I didn't HEAR a heart beat yet but they saw it. Try not to stress yourself out as hard as that might be. Be positive. You'll hear that heart beat on the next ultrasound!

Thanks for the support I was tracking so I know my first day of my last period, also when I would have conceived I'm concerned because the size of the baby hasn't changed a week later after the 1st ultrasounds I'm so distraught

You count gestation from the first day of your last period, so you're 9 weeks. Don't worry if you can't find a heartbeat yet, sometimes they can't find it until 12 weeks or later, depending where the baby and the placenta are. Congrats!!

I hate doctors work us up by mentioning miscarriage.   They should know for a fact.  Hopefully you know ur menstrual cycle and when u had sex.  I would start doing the math to see how far along u r.  If ur 7 weeks there is a possibility the heart hasn't started beating yet.  If ur 9 weeks then there should be some concern.

I had a miscarriage before at 13 weeks in 2012, didn't hear that heartbeat until the very day I had the miscarriage. I'm scared so I made an emergency appointment to see my doctor because the lab technician said what's I have is a missed miscarriage

Are u counting 7weeks because thats when u conceived? Do u know ur first day of ur last period?

The babies heart starts beating 21 days after conception.   Thats why docters like to see the heart beat at 6 weeks.

What did your doctor recommend?. Perhaps wait a few weeks more sometimes you can't see the heartbeat right away.
