I am not sure what to say. I hope everything goes ok. I don't think that there is any advice on how to not worry. Everyone worries during their pregnancy, especially their first. I have never heard though of a miscariage without bleeding. I have many friends who have miscarriaged and they said there was alot of bleeding and pain. I know that with my pregnancy they didn't listen to a heartbeat until 4-6 months. Apparently it's hard to hear if you are earlier. So your doctor could've missed it since it is harder to hear that early. What is a d & c? Let me know how everything turns out.

D&c is a procedure which is perform mostly in a hospital where the doctor will scrape your uterius removing the fetus. ..... When your doctor could not hear your baby heartbeat did they suggest that your baby was dead. What was their response to you concerning your child????

The doctor never even listend to the heartbeat into further in my pregnany. If you've been told that your baby had died and then was told that he/she was alive then i'd go to another doctor and make sure. I have heard that when they are that young that there hearbeat is faint and not easy to hear. The only thing that makes me question whether or not the doctor is right is that you were told by another person that he/she was alive. I hope everything turns out ok. Let me know.

I did some research and go to babycenter.Com it tells you week by week development on your baby. Check out week 18 of pregnancy. It states that with the help of a special stethoscope you can hear the heartbeat. If your only 12 weeks and you doctor is saying your baby is dead because their is no hearbeat switch doctors. And do not go throught he d & c procedure. Your baby is most likely alive. It sounds like your doctor is after the money or has clue what he/she is talking about and shouldnt be in the profession. I would also talk to a lawyer and sue this doctor, because every doctor knows that you cant hear a heartbeat at 12 weeks old, it's not possible. Also when a baby dies your body will expel the fetus. I've spoke to many people on this and I have been really worried about you. Let me know what happens.

Hello well first off all I want to wish you the best. Listen my friend at 11.6 weeks went for her first ultrasound, was told yesterday the same thing you were the doctors could not find a heart beat. They told her the baby was dead. She went to get a second opinion and first they told her that it might me to early to hear the heart beat. Theyn another one came and told her it was the begining of a misscarige. There was no bleeding at all and she was feeling perfectly fine. Today she went to have the baby removed. I regret not telling her to get a 3rd opinion. What if it was to early.. You know just make you you check around. Take care of yourself I wish you the best.

What did happen? I have friends who have "miscarried" and had not blood or pain. But, I don't know if it is technically "miscarrying" or not. The baby died and then they actually had to induce labor and give birth.
I have another friend who miscarried really early on in the pregnancy (she did not even know she was pregnant) and she had severe cramps and lots of blood.
I hope your baby was o.K, but I am assuming that it was not as we have not heard from you. I wish you the best and hope you are o.K. I am very sorry.

Did anyone find out what happened yet?

I'd like to know what happened. Sounds to me like your baby was fine! Please let us know!

Hi I come to know from doc at my 11week testing that my baby is not having heartbeat any more on monday and doctor told me wait till next monday and want to wait if abortion happen by nature, if not then will decide weather to do d and c or not. now is it safe to do so or have to d and c ASAP to avoid any future complication.


Please HELP ME................

until you have been given a scan do not remove your baby until you are absolutely sure in your mind that there is no hope what has happened to you is called a missed miscarriage this is when your body does not expel your baby on its own and you need some help.This happened to me my baby died at 10 weeks 3 days and i had two scans to be absolutely sure there was no hope because if you have any doubts you will spend the rest of your life suffering about this wondering if you did the right thing.I'm so sorry for your loss don't give up hope

if you had a scan done at 12 weeks that detected no heart beat then im affraid that baby would have passed away, at 12 weeks if there was going to be a heart beat it would be very clear at that stage,,

your blood tests will say everything is fine even though its not blood tests only measure the hormone level

some people miscarry and still get a positive pregnancy test after they have a d&c becuse the hormone level still remains for some time

the scan will be more accurate then blood tests

sorry to hear your news

i also miscarried at 12 weeks had to have d&c

you must have your d&c asap or you will be at a great risk of infection

Firstly very sorry to know your situation.

Please get a proper u/s done froma ood and reliable dr.
Even if it says Baby has already passed away take 2nd ,3rd opinion..and o for D & C only when ur completely sure about it.
Else you may have caused a great loss.
But u have to be quick
Dont spend too much time thinkin which dr to o etc.
If unfortunately you've lost your baby..you've to avoide the future coplications.
All the best.
Hope everything oes smooth

Thanks.
