I just lost my baby at 7 weeks. I had gone to the ER with bleeding and cramps yesterday and was told my HCG was normal and my ultrasound showed “cardiac activity” but what the ER doctor did not tell me was that the heart rate was only 55-60bpm when it should have been greater than 100. So I went home thinking maybe it was a fluke and had some hope that maybe God would choose to work a miracle. When I woke up this morning to more blood and worsening cramps. Called my OB and begged to be seen today instead of waiting til my first scheduled appointment. Immediately on the ultrasound there was no heartbeat. I never understood how hard this could be until it happened to me. Now I’m waiting to pass it and the pain is unreal. How do I even begin to cope? I also had told so many I was pregnant. I knew the “rule” was to wait til the first trimester was over but I had a hard time not being excited. Now I feel like I will have a hard time going to work and having to explain this to people. I wish I had never told anyone but my husband.
