Today I had my first appointment. It wasn’t supposed to be until Sept. 5th but my blood pressure kept going up so I got in earlier. They decided to do an ultrasound right away which was kind of weird to me considering they usually schedule those at least a couple days out. So I went in and the tech was looking around and I saw my baby on the screen. It was measuring about 8 weeks. Everything looked so cute to me. I remember with my first baby, the first thing I saw (even at 6 weeks!) was the flickering heart. And this time I saw nothing like that. I knew what was coming. He kept looking for about 5 minutes and then said “I’m sorry, but I can’t detect a heartbeat, and the baby is not viable”. My heart sank but I’m the kind of person to take it as it is. I just nodded. After the ultrasound my dr came in and said she was so sorry and we discussed what to do next to complete the miscarriage. I’m still in shock I feel like they should’ve at least run blood test to compare to next time. But they were awfully certain.

Has anyone been thru this? I would like to hear all outcomes although I’m accepting that I won’t have a second baby from this pregnancy because it is coming to an end.

Also any tips for naturally miscarrying would be appreciated as that is what I’ve decided for now. If things don’t start happening within a week I will try to do the pills to get things started.
