No Heartbeat At 12 Week Ultrasound

raysmommy - January 7

I was pregnant with my second baby. Everything seemed to be going fine. Heard a healthy heartbeat at 8 weeks. Around a week or so after that I felt my pregnany symptoms kind of dissapear. No more nausea, br___t tenderness. When I was pregnant with my son I had the worst morning sickness up until 18 weeks. So, I just thought maybe this was going to be a girl? I went in for my 12 week checkup and the doctor couldn't find a heartbeat. Then she did an ultrasound and confirme that the baby was very small, measuring around 8 weeks and had no heartbeat. I was beside myself. Upset, depressed. Just felt like a knife right through my heart. Today I had my scheduled D&C. I was so nervous going into it. I have a beautiful 2 year old boy and the thought of something going wrong while I was put under was just too much. Im sure I was just very emotional and irationaly thinking. Anyway. Has anyone else heard the heart beat at 8 weeks only to then find out the worst news? I just feel like this was late? I remember reading something once when i was pregnant with my son that once you hear a heartbeat at 8 weeks then you have a very small chance of a miscarriage. I guess I was just one of the very unlucky few? I find peace that i already have a healty little boy but this just is still so hard to grasp. Anyone else have a similar story? Ell
