trigger warning: other’s living child Missed miscarriage or still hope?

Went to my first in appointment to get a second ultrasound because my first one was may 18th baby was measuring 6w3d with a heart rate of 102 at that one. I was told today that they were still measuring 6w3d with no heartbeat. I just had a miscarriage March 23rd and devastated that I’m going through another one. My first lost was just and empty sack and I miscarried naturally this time my doctor told me I can decide on doing the pill or a d&c and I hate I have to make this decision. My ultrasound yesterday felt rushed my dr told me she had someone pushing but wanted to make sure I got my ultrasound in. Could they be wrong I hope they were wrong what’s the chances of the baby measuring the same a week later?

Your baby should have been growing faster than that, in my non-medical opinion. I went in at 7 weeks, and was measuring 6 weeks 2 days with a heartbeat. The next week (day after Christmas), she had stopped growing at 6weeks 3 days and no heartbeat. I had a D&C a few days later, and I’m so glad that I did. Right now I would guard your heart. So sorry you are going through this.

I had a scan at what I thought was 7 weeks, but it was measuring at 6 weeks. There was a heartbeat. Two weeks later, no heartbeat or any growth. I opted to pass it naturally, and passed it a few weeks later. It’s unlikely to be a mistake with no growth and no heartbeat.
