8 weeks, baby only 6 weeks and 1 day.

went to dr on tue for a o/s (8 weeks).  dr said my baby stop growing at 6 weeks and 1 day and said i need pills or d&c.  so upset.  she gave me no hope and didn't offer to for another o/s.  she said baby's heartbeat should be developed at this point.  it's no longer growing.  How's she's so sure about baby stop growing at 6 weeks and 1 day.  Maybe i'm different than other people.  i insist for another o/s before making the decision.  hopefully next tue, i will hear hb.  anyone else the same situation?

The same exact thing happened to me. I went in at 8 weeks and my baby had stopped developing at 5 weeks. I didn't have a d&c or take pills. I let nature take it's course. I'm sorry for what you're going through.

I'm not in the same situation.... And I'm sorry to hear you are. I would be like you a demand a second o/s. They could have gotten your dates wrong... Or baby just growing at a slow rate.... There is always hope! All my fingers and toes are crossed that you get good news next week! Xx
