Anyone else had this
Found out yesterday that l may have to terminate my pregnancy next week depending on how a more detailed ultrasound goes....l thought l was 9 weeks and after a ultra sound yesterday l was told that the sac measures that of a 71/2 week and the bub measures that of a 61/2 week.....and its heart rate is very low (61) l have been told to expect the worst......
Wow i am so sorry to hear all this! I hope it all gets better for you ! Just try to stay positive.. if baby has come this far surely its a fighter!
Good luck to you and your baby x
Good luck to you and your baby x
Aww my heart is aching with this news...I'm sending prayers for u & your lil angel hoping for a good news good luck
I'm so very sorry sweetie, but you and your baby are in my prayers.... hoping for full recovery at your next appt. Don't give up the fight!
Hi all....l thought l would let you know the progress of what has been happening. .....sac has grown to that of a 9 week old but baby still at 6.5 weeks and heart rate of 80, have been told that seeing baby isn't growing then l should miscarriage soon....go back next week for another scan.....emotionally very draining.....
Don't do it, unless u Don't want to deal w a sick baby. I was told the same, but i decided to stay w baby. He came out being a perfect boy. N im glad i didn't listen to the doctors. They were so wrong...
Thank you all again for your support.....it has been a rough 4 months with having a ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage 2 days after having one of my fallopian tubes removed (very rare having both these at the same time l am told) l really didn't think l would fall pregnant so quickly again. I trust my doctor with everything as he has delivered my last 2 children ( now 12 & 8) and he has been very though with everything over the past 4 months....l am preparing for the worst on Wednesday but still hoping at the same time if that makes sense....l am lucky to have found this app and have the support of every one....
Definitely get as much information as you can but be prepared, no doc likes giving scary news like that and won't say it unless they've got some very strong evidence that there's really something abnormal. Best of luck and I hope the second ultrasound gives different and better news.
I will say however that if you end up in that worst-case scenario it is not necessarily a good idea to "let nature decide" - your body may not recognize that anything is wrong and retaining can put you at risk for serious infection or bleeding risk. Talk to your doctors about the risks and benefits of all your options including medication-induced termination and a d+c. Having a procedure or medication to provide you with closure may help the grieving process instead of waiting possibly weeks for your body to respond and miscarry on its own. Also, there is absolutely no research showing that a history of induced termination lowers chances of successfully conceiving again.
Again, I'm sorry to hear you're in a scary place right now. Hoping for good news for you.

Even if the worst happens it is more natural to let your body take care of it on its own. After mine it was easier to conceive when we didn't terminate.
If it's something bad wouldn't your baby not make it anyway? So it shouldn't be your decision fate will play out?
But if you choose to for any risk then power to you and we are all here for you.

Agreed with above it was suggested last year I terminate @10 weeks so I did and have regretted the decision ever since. I keep thinking what if they were wrong? Get a second even a third opinion until you are confident in your decision. I'm now 30 weeks, but I still always wonder in the back of my mind about my first baby.
my friends babies heart rate was70....they told her it didn't look good..she is now 15 weeks today and baby is just fine

Ahh. I'm so very sorry to hear this. A sad time when a pregnancy has this kind of outcome. I would take the information from your doctor and do what is right for you. I do think doctors can help you understand what the situation will be if you do not terminate and that is something for you to consider seriously. Arming yourself with that information is important in making this decision.
Best of luck during this confusing and difficult time

Thank you everyone for your thoughts....l am off to get another more involved (apparently) ultrasound....l am praying for everything to be fine and my best friend told me that she went to a clairvoyant and they told her that a very close friend was pregnant and was having a boy ( so finger ed crossed) will let you know next week on the outcome.....
I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know news like this is painful to hear.
Please know that the advice from your doctor is not always the best thing to do. I have heard many, many stories where termination was suggested to the mother for medical reasons and then they did another ultra-sound and found a totally different situation. I'll be praying for you and your baby today.

Hey.. go for a second opinion.. please... two weeks ago they wanted to cut me open to *save* my babys life. They told me to go to the hospital asap.. I chose not to go because I didnt think anything they said was alarming enough.. but the next day I went to a high risk specialist who said baby was totally fine.. that was when I was 37 wks and now im completing my 40th. Trust me these sonos are not always accurate. Get a second or third opinion. If godforbid baby has a problem, decide what to do then.
Goodluck, youre in my prayers.

Dont terminate if you dont have too. I red things all the time saying that the baby started bad off vut made it healthy. Just saying. I pray he improves!
