Not good news at the doc today

I have some not so good news from this morning and was wondering if anyone could help. I had my first Baby appointment this morning and they had to do the ultrasound where they put that thing up your vaginal to get the pics because my uterus is tipped or something. Anyway i went back to the nurses room and she said that she had some not so good news for me. she said they they weren't picking up a heart beat on the ultra sound. she said my uterus was too big for the baby, so maybe it was bigger then died, and is now shrinking. i have to go back in this Thursday for some more tests to see if my whatever them levels are called are going up or down. i am so nervous and so numb. this is my first pregnancy so anything anyone can do to give me advice on what is going on would be greatly appreciated.

Mandy

I`m so sorry for your lost. My first misccar. was missed abortion and the same thing I didn`t felt any cramps, no bleeding and it was so hard for me to understand why it happen. I chose D&C because I couldn`t stand the psychological stress, I was crying all the time.

Both of mine were missed abortions...  eventually your body will expel everything, but it could take a very long time...  I chose the d&c both times because I couldn't stand for it to be drug out any longer...  I just needed closuer and to move one...  and it can be unsafe to wait it out sometimes, infections, etc...  

If your doc recommends the d&c I would say do it--  but do what you are comfortable with...  

I am so sorry you are experiencing this... it is very painful....  hugs.

Yes, I did have a D&C was for the missed abortion. A missed abortion is basically when the fetus stops developing but your body does not miscarry it. That's why they did the D&C.

I did wait about a week before having the D&C, though, to see if it would happen by itself, but when nothing happened, my doctor suggested a D&C.

My second miscarriage was a spontaneous miscarriage and happened by itself at home.

I hope you're doing OK. Take care of yourself, Countrync!

did you have to have a D&C for the missed abortion one? how do they determine what it is?

I am so sorry you're going through this. I've had two miscarriages. The first was a missed abortion (where the baby just stops growing) and the other a natural miscarriage, and I didn't have any signs either with the missed abortion. No cramping, no bleeding, still had tender breasts and fatigue...

Just wanted to send you a big hug and let you know that you're not alone. Again, Im so sorry.
