1st Trimester
baby stopped growing :( I can't believe this!
We went to the doctor on Monday for a routine appointment. I was 10W, 1D. I had already had 3 previous u/s's with my RE which showed normal growth and a very strong heartbeat. At 6W, 1D, it was 124bpm and at 7W3D, it was 164bpm.
So the doctor went to hear the heartbeat reminding me it was early and we might not hear it. Well we didn't. So then he did an ultrasound, nothing....so then he sent me down to get an internal ultrasound. They took the pictures, sent me back to my doctor. And when he walked in, we knew it wasn't good.
He said according to your ovulation date, you should be 10 weeks, and the baby is measuring 7W, 4D and no cardiac activity! WHAT?!? how could this be?? That means the baby stopped growing the DAY AFTER my last great appointment! how could life be this cruel???? 
To make matters worse, we were given the choice to wait it out naturally or have a D&C. I really don't want another D&C. I had one last time at 12 weeks along when my NT scan went horribly wrong. I don't want to go through that again. But if in one week nothing happens, I must have one. I can't even function. How could this be happening to us again??? They say 25% of all pregnancies end this way but I am tired of being a statistic.
Thanks for listening...I am just feeling so down and hopeless..

I am so sorry for your loss. My story is very similar to yours. It just sucks.
I chose the d&c. Physically, it was easy and I only bled lightly for about 7-10 days. (((hugs)))

I am so very sorry for your loss.
I had a loss in January after seeing a heartbeat and it is so difficult - it doesn't make any sense at all.
