Pregnant after a Loss

Roller Coaster Of A Day

I posted earlier this week that, at my ultrasound last week, my doctor didn't see what he wanted, and he was worried.  I had a followup this morning, and he did another scan....and saw even less.  He prepared me for the worst, and said he was predicting a miscarriage, and we could plan a d&c for next week.  But, he said, he wanted me to be scanned one more time by an ultrasound tech because they are better at it than he is.  His tech wasn't in the office today, so he sent me to a nearby imaging center.

 I had to wait a couple hours for the scan, and I was miserable - just wanted to get it over with and start mourning.  Finally I got in, and she started looking around and said:Hmmm, your uterus is shaped funny, not that it's bad, just different.  There is a little place down here out of the way.  Yep, there is your sac, and the yolk....and that right there, that is the heartbeat!!!

 I went from devastation and nothing, to a heartbeat in a few hours!  She said he probably didn't even realize there was a place down there, because it is unusual.

 The radiologist is supposed to send the findings to my doc stat, and I am waiting on a call, on pins and needles.

  • Thank you thank you!  I know!  I am so thrilled he just didn't say "let's move on" because I would have, because I trust him.  I still trust him, because he is the kind of guy who says "let's take a second look to be sure", but I am so glad he is that kind...
  • Wow, that is great news!  I can't believe your doc was ready to give up!  Congrats on a heartbeat!!
