I had the exact same thing happen to me about two weeks ago. I starting bleeding and u/s confirmed the baby died. I know it is very sad but you can get through it. I cried a lot in the beginning but I am slowly healing in the inside. You are strong and can't won't give what you can't handle.

Unfortunately due to my irregular cycles in.the past where ive had 6 months of a cycle then 2 months without, they.feel the baby.could potentially be less than 9 wks......(im really hoping thats the case)

they have me testing my beta HCG level tomorrow n Saturday,.I guess to see  what level of the.hormome.is.in my system. I read someone they should be increasing almost daily and anything 1,000 or more should be a good sign, so I'm hoping for the best n praying my baby is ok. :(

Unfortunately, the other ladies are most likely right, unless you are not as far along as you thought you were. If you know for sure when you got pregnant, and you're supposed to be 9 weeks and baby is measuring small (depends also, how much smaller its measuring) with no heartbeat, it sounds like it might not be a viable pregnancy, but always get a follow up and always hope for the best but prepare for the worst, good luck hun!

Sounds like a missed miscarriage. I went in at 6w2d and saw a baby and a heartbeat. Went back at 9w1d (on valentines day no less!) And the baby was only measuring 6w4d and no longer had a heartbeat. My body for whatever reason wasn't miscarrying on its own, despite the baby passing and so I had to have a d&c to remove everything. BUT I did end up pregnant again 6 weeks later and my daughter is now 4 1/2.
