I went to the doctor this morning for my 12 week check. After several minutes of the doctor searching for the heartbeat and measuring the size of my uterus, he said he'd like to an ultrasound. We walked down to the ultrasound room where I laid terrified of hearing the words I knew were coming. "The fetus has no heartbeat".
Based upon the measurements of my uterus and the development presented in the ultrasound, the baby stopped developing somewhere around 7 weeks but the placenta and sac continued to grow, hence the reason I haven't had bleeding or signs of a miscarriage.
I have blood tests Thursday and another appt on Friday, to discuss where to go from here...
I don't understand why these things happen or how exactly to deal with it. I'm praying for strength and would appreciate your prayers for me and my family through this time.
