Hi, I found out i was pregnant a month ago and went for my first ultasound at 7 weeks and 2 days there was a fetus and a heartbeat than 8 days later i went for another ultrasound because i started bleeding lightly and yet again the baby was there and there was a heartbeat and they said everything is really good so far, than i started getting a little crampy and i started bleeding a little bit heavier so i went and got blood test done and they were rising but not doubling like there suppose to so 9 days after my last ultrasound i got another 1 because they wanted to see if everything was fine, i got told the baby was there and its the size it should be but no heartbeat than another lady came in and confimed that the baby and died, i was devistated and a doctor sat me down and talked me through my options they have booked me in for a D&C for tomorrow but im worried that there could still be a possibilty that they just couldnt find a heartbeat and the baby is fine.
