Definitely second opinion. If you have a heartbeat, then you haven't lost yet. Is it possible that you're not quite as far along as you thought you were and that's why baby seems small?

Totally agree w/ second & even third opinions. Doctors aren't always right. I see it everyday, people who are wrongly diagnosed & misinformed, they go the extra mile because they knew in their hearts they had other options. Pls go the extra mile, at least you can say you did everything you could & won't regret the fight.

I would get a second opinion...i mean by doing that what do you have to lose...getting one isnt going to hurt one bit...and as far as if its not going the way you plan like all the ladies said before only you can make that choice...i wish you the best with you and your little one

I agree with the above posters , definatly get a second opinion. Your baby still has a heartbeat, so its still alive. Hopefully your doctor is just wrong and you go on to have a healthy baby. This is your baby and only your decission.

I would also have a second opinion. Personally even though the baby isn't growing there is still a heartbeat and to mean that's killing your baby. Def get another opinion and if they feel the same way. Only you can make that decision. That's your baby.

Sorry  I would seek a second opinion before I had a d&c.  As long as there's a heartbeat I wouldn't do it good luck
