Question

HELP! first ultrasound shows small for dates baby and no heartbeat. Anyone else have this happen?

Based on LMP i am 8 weeks pregnant. Just went in for first ultrasound and baby is measuring 6 weeks 4 days with NO heartbeat. I believe i implanted late so could this be why baby is measuring small/no heartbeat yet? I am so lost here because i have had NO signs of a miscarriage coming so i just can't believe it yet. Has this happened to anyone else that went on to have a healthy baby and pregnancy? Dr wants me to go back on monday for blood hcg test as i got it done today as well. PLEASE any advice would be helpful so i dont completely lose my mind.Thanks.

This happened to me. They kept giving me hope by saying "it's still early" but when I went for a scan at 7 weeks they told me there was nothing growing inside, even though my hcg levels were over 23,000. They said they should see a heartbeat for sure by 6 weeks.

I had a d&c the next day. I wish you the best. ((Hugs))

Thanks. I think i've come to terms that it doesn't look good. Just curious did you conceive after your D&C? I am hoping that this was just a fluke thing and next time will be a healthy baby. After all, i have a healthy 17 month old at home and have never had any miscarriages before.

I am so sorry but I just went thru this in January I lost my baby on jan 25 2014 I was supposed to be 9 weeks and my baby only measured 6 weeks and no heart beat:( I ended up miscarrying naturally my heart still is broken and I haven't been able to try again yet because the miscarriage has my periods all messed up I wish you the best and pray that you don't go thru what I did don't give up hope I didn't !
