Hi, I'm new....is it too soon to join you wonderful ladies?

Hello,

I have a story I'm sure is very similar to many of you. I went to the doctor for my first appointment this past Weds. I was 9 weeks and 3 days. I don't know how to explain it, but I had a lot of dread going into this appointment. I don't know if it was intuition or just that it was my first. Anyway, once it came time for my ultrasound I could read something in the tech's face. Her face turned very serious, and she kept what I believe were different areas to see if she could find what she was looking for. She very quickly printed the pictures and told me she was done and that the doctor would be in soon.

I then learned that the heart beat was only 96bpm, and that she thought it may not developing well because I was only measuring 7 weeks and 6 days. She then asked me to come back in the next day so they could check again. The next day my worst fears were realized-no heart beat. I was then scheduled yesterday for "uterus to be cleaned out." (wow that was depressing to type). The surgery went well, but I left feeling empty.

We (DH and I) were so excited for this baby and this has been so hard. I was so grateful when I started reading this board, and seeing that many of you were feeling the same things I was feeling. Thank you for being here ladies. I really hope it's ok I'm posting here so soon after my miscarriage.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My MMC was in Sept. and I also had an inexplicable feeling of dread heading into my 8-week ultrasound. My worst fears were realized when I was told the baby was measuring behind and that there was no heartbeat. I could tell something was wrong right away because the ultrasound tech seemed to be searching around too much. It was hands-down the worst day of my life.

So, you're certainly not alone and found the right place to receive and give support. Welcome to the board. Sending you lots of hugs.

Welcome and I'm sorry for your loss. I do believe we have intuition when something isn't right because I completely dreaded my appointment all day and then we found out there wasn't a HB. My previous appointments I never got that feeling.
