I went in for my first OB appointment at 9 weeks last Monday and the doctor had trouble finding the heartbeat. She finally said she was able to see it, as did my husband, but I never saw the "flicker". She asked me to schedule another appointment, which ended up being this morning. The ultrasound showed that the baby is about 8 weeks along and has a heartbeat somewhere in the 80s, rather than in the 140+ range like it should be. She also said that the baby is not growing properly and I have a high chance of miscarrying within the next week. She made me an appointment for next week to see if the heart is still beating. She said if I do miscarry, I may or may not have bleeding and cramping. If I do miscarry without bleeding, would that be cause for a D&C? I just wanted to know if anyone has ever dealt with something similar to this. I took it really hard this morning, but I don't know what to expect or how to feel. Thanks....
