*Possible TW* Baby not growing at a normal rate.

I hope this is okay. I know we aren't supposed to start random topics but i didnt know what to put this under. Will delete if it's a problem. Hoping I get some advice of similar situations.

Okay so I went into my first ultrasound when I should have been 7 weeks 4 days and the baby measured 6 weeks 1 day without a heartbeat (I knew my dating was correct). I went back today when I should be 9 weeks 1 day and it measured 6 weeks 5 days. So in a week and a half it only grew 4 days. They didn't mention a heartbeat but from what my husband saw and how they were talking it looks like there was one but it wasn't super strong. I go back in a week to check again and then discuss everything. The doctor said he doesn't want to intervene yet. 

Like i said if me starting topic was against the rules, I am really sorry. I just know there's a lot of experienced woman who might've had a similar experience on here.

In my experience, slow growth has not been a good sign. However, I have heard stories of babies measuring behind and then catching up later. I sincerely hope that is the case for you.

I had this happen to me and the waiting is the absolute worst part. I’m really hoping for a good outcome for you. Lean on family and rest as much as you can. Keep us updated on some hopeful good news

I don't have experience with this but wanted to say I'm thinking about you and happy thoughts for next week!  Keep us posted.  Lots of hugs your way!

Thank you everyone. You guys really make me feel cared for. Everything I've read online has seemed to be not the best outcome but I'm trying to keep hope. After ttc it is such a relief to see I was able to get pregnant (and the baby has a heartbeat as of now). Ive learned to appreciate every step of this first pregnancy, it is insane to me all the good that has happened. Honestly I am so grateful for all these positive thoughts. I've been anxious to post on here but now I feel dumb because you all are being so wonderful

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have experienced this but unfortunately it did not have a good outcome. I sincerely hope the next time you go in, the baby has caught up on its growth. Take care of yourself. It’s so hard to be in this limbo state. Keep us updated.

I am so sorry you are going through this and really hope you get good news.  You said you are sure of your dating, were you tracking your ovulation and know for sure when you ovulated?

*TW* Well I started spotting yesterday then the cramps came in the evening and then this morning there was no doubt. Went into the doctor and he checked me and then got an ultrasound. It was a complete miscarriage which is relieving as I did not want to have to get a d&c. Thank you everyone for your support! It is so appreciated.

I was wondering about you, I am so sorry for your loss. There are amazing women on the loss groups if you ever need support for any reason. Please be gentle with yourself

I’m so sorry for your loss. Take time to care for yourself

harrierwife

Relieved for you that it was complete, but so sorry that it happened in the first place. Like @dcwtada mentioned, there are amazingly supportive loss groups here if and when that interests you. 

Again, I'm so sorry. 

BlondePeanut

I'm so very sorry for you loss. Hugs your way

meatballs37

I’m so sorry for your loss. If you stick around on TB and change your SN to something recognizable. When you are ready, the ladies in the ttcal (trying to conceive after loss) thread on trying to get pregnant are a wonderful supportive group. Hugs.

I’m so sorry for your loss!

Thank you everyone. Like I've said all your thoughts are appreciated. I've been shocked at how truly wonderful people can be when going through a loss. My husband planned on just taking today off work but then he stopped in to let his boss know and to request tomorrow off, his boss was so sweet to him and told him to take the rest of the week off (hes been working 6 days a week since we found out)! It is so nice that we can be together because I know he is not taking this well himself. My doctor advises people to wait 3 months before ttc again which Im honestly okay with right now because I want to work on some things. Thank you so much for showing support. I am so excited to be part of this community when i decide to start TTC again.
