Any September 2013 babies?

I had a scan today. I hate even typing these words...there is no heartbeat. The baby didn't make it. They checked me on two different monitors, used the Doppler and even got another doctor to give a second opinion. The baby stopped growing around last Monday sometime after my last scan.

Shocked. Devastated. After we saw the heartbeat last week my hope skyrocketed. I thought "This is it!"

I'm thinking a variety of things. Mostly self-blame even though the doctor stressed that it's not my fault. I got the flu shot last Monday. Did the flu shot hurt the baby? They assure me it didn't, but what a coincidence. Then I think back to when I had that HCG level scare. Remember when it sort of stopped doubling as it should? Maybe that was the first sign something was wrong. And now...god...it's still in there...not alive. I want to crawl away from myself. I want to go to sleep and wake up at whatever point that things are ok again. I don't want to feel this. I don't want to go through this.

I have a surgery on Wednesday to remove the baby. I don't want to wait the weeks it might take for it to pass naturally. And from what I've heard, that event can be traumatic. Then we wait a month or so for my HCG levels to go back down to zero before we talk to the doc and see about a new plan.

The doctor said the good news is I can get pregnant. I can certainly try again and soon. Those are good things, but right now...right now I'm just so sad and I'm mourning the loss of my baby.

I am so very sorry!! Such terrible news. Thinking of you and your family. :hugs:
 
So, so sorry Kat. I know how hard it is but please try not to blame yourself. xx

I'm going for scan #2 tomorrow. Last scan hb was only 106 which the doc thought was a little slow. I'm really nervous now.

hi ladies, had my scan today and am measuring right on track with a healthy heart beat! My RE officially graduated me to my ob. I'm feeling so relieved and grateful right now :)
 
I went to the restroom and was surprised by mucus. I haven't had any in a few days. It makes me a little nervous. I know it's normal to discharge but this much mucus? *takes a breath* I am going to try and relax.

I have brown tinged mucous too but my doctor didn't seem upset over it...he said it comes from the uterus stretching....it freaks me out though.:nope:
 
No didn't hear heartbeat but got to see it beating away for ages x roll on next scan in 2wks! Stay strong Bob the blob xxx
 
I just saw a Wallgreen's commercial with twins. It made me get all emotional. I want to hold my babies in my arms and take cute pictures of them. Come on babies be strong for mommy. Grow.
 
Congratulations on all the good news from scans :thumbup:

Hope to join you after my scan in 4 hours time....so nervous :wacko:
 
So I've been trying to make sure I'm using the right products etc, avoiding acne washes, but can't find a true natural face wash!

Even Burt bees has sodium benzoate... Did any of you have any luck?
 
Not great news for me :(
Baby measuring just 6+1 and very slow heartbeat. According to LMP I am 8+4 but we know I am at least a week behind due to late ovulation. Very unlikely I am far enough behind though to make this pregnancy viable. Also, we saw the amnio sac which is apparently a lot bigger than it should be for 6+1 so dr thinks there is little hope.
Going back in a week unless I bleed before.
Devastated and heartbroken.
