Second appointment heartbeat
| Wed, 01-03-2007 - 3:50pm |
Hi-
Is anyone as scared as I am to not hear a heartbeat at the second appointment? I saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks, 4 days and my next appointment isn't for another 2 weeks. Is it generally safe to say if you saw a heartbeart everything will be okay? My doctor told me after seeing the hb you have a 2% chance to miscarry, but I am still so scared it won't be there! Any advice or experience with this?

Well what you are feeling is very normal and understandable. What your doctor told you is correct!! That once you see a strong heart beat at around 7W-8W your chances of miscarriage drop dramatically. As a Pal you still have all the fear that something is going to go wrong at any minute! I mean I am 24 weeks and still have the fear!
I am also very scared that I won't have a HB at my second ultrasound. I had a good strong one at 6 weeks,0 days last week. I won't go for another until next tues the 16th. Have you had your 2nd one yet? I hope all was good!!! Please KUP since it helps me have more faith to hear others' happy stories. :)
Hugs,
Nicole
