My appointment today did not go well The baby measured perfectly and was well developed with little arms and legs and a face. It was right on track but there was no heartbeat. The dr said it probably died in the last day or two. I am bleeding a bit more now and have had clots and mild abdominal discomfort on occasion.
I decided to miscarry naturally rather than have a d&c. The ultrasound showed that my cervix has not dilated yet. So I have to wait. My dr said he couldn't tell me how long this would take but to call him anytime if I felt it was taking too long and we could do a d&c.
I kept calm while in the exam room talking with the dr but as soon as I was out I was in tears and all the way home :'( I am so heartbroken; it had taken 14 months to get this baby and it is over.
I hope you all go on to have beautiful healthy babies. I just have to wait a bit longer to get mine (will be trying again straight away!)
knobby , I'm so so very sorry for your loss.
I'm a little annoyed that I'll be out of town for the entire week of Christmas, and I'll turn 20 weeks on the Sunday of that week. It would have been really nice to know the gender and to know everything was going well before seeing the family for Christmas.
I've been worrying lately that things aren't going right. I tried using my doppler last night to see if I could fnd it for reassurence, but still couldn't find it yet.

Have you found the heartbeat before on your doppler? I know a lot of people who can't find the heartbeat on dopplers until end of first tri. I couldn't with my first until 10.5 weeks.
