8wks And No Heartbeat

MeganM - August 31

Hi there, I am at 8 weeks and about 6 days pregnant. I went in for an ultrasound last week and it came back that there is no heartbeat. Since then I have been spot bleeding and experiencing very bad cramps. The Dr's want to D&C right away, but I decided to wait a bit longer. The appointment for the D&C is next week....is it normal to bleed and cramp so severely if there is no heartbeat? Is it normal to still FEEL pregnant if there is no heartbeat? I am very upset about this, and need some advice.

Im sorry to say this but if no heart beat is detected and you are starting to bleed it is more than likely a miscarriage. Any sevre cramping and bleeding during pregnancy is NOT a good sign and it usually gets worse. Did you have a HCG test? When I had my miscarriage I was suppose to be 11 weeks and 1 day but a u/s showed a fetus that was 6 weeks 6 days with no heartbeat and the sac showed signs of deterioration. My HCG levels were extremely low. I had only bleed enough red blood to soak my panties and than it switched to minor brown spotting minor cramps and I still had mild nausea and sore b___bs. I thought I was still pregnant and their might have been hope, the dr's wanted to wait and redo HCG tests and do another u/s before they started to discuss a D&C. My body had recognized the baby had pa__sed and nature took it's course and no D&C was needed, its devastating and I will never forget. I wish you the best threw your trying times and I only offer my story as a way to let you know you are not alone in a trying time as this. When my cramping and bleeding became more severe I started pa__sing clots the size of golf b___s, just a heads up on what might happen as I was scared to death. I lost my baby May 15th 2006, my angel was due December 3, 2006. I gave my angel a name "Alex" and found when I cried, and I still do, when I call my baby by it's name a feel a little more at peace because my angel has a name I can grieve for. I wish you the best sweety

Hey. I lost my baby two weeks ago. I went in for my 12 week scan and there was no heart beat. They also said my baby only grew up until 8 weeks and 3 days. I had bleeding and very bad cramps. I ended up pa__sing baby normally but had to go through for a d&c to remove all the remains of conception. It's an aweful thing to go through. But what i found to help was i got a copy of the ultra sound and framed it so that my baby is always there to look at. We also gave baby a name. Forever my wee angel, Skyla. All the best hun x
