Doctors are human they make mistakes. Machines that pick up heart beats also

are NOT full proof. Go with your GUT FEELING. A week can make all the

difference with the heart beat being able to be seen. I hope this is just a

mistake,

I wish you all the best.

God Bless.

Hi Kashi,

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Seven weeks is still pretty early

and maybe they just could not hear a heartbeat. It happened to my friend and

then next visit everything was fine. And the fact that your having all those

symptoms is a good sign that your still pregnant.

I hope everything will be ok. I know how scary it is. I just had my baby boy

3 months ago and had many scares during pregnancy and still scared something

will happen to him. I will pray for you. Please keep us posted ok.

Hugs, Maja from NJ

Don't throw in the towel yet... I was at 8 weeks when I had my first us

and they told me I was at 6 weeks...

there are several women on here who have just recently gone through/are

going through the same thing... get another opinion before you let them do

anything... sometimes wls babies are just a bit smaller than typical, and

it takes time to see things, okay?

Prayers and hugs your way... keep us updated!

I agree but know that many insurance companies or even if you are receiving

medicaid will only allow 2 US during the pregnancy! It is rediculous to only

allow two but if it is the case it is better to wait unless you can pay for it

yourself because you will want to be able to have the US when it is most

beneficial to the baby!

No, hon... you DO NOT have to wait until 18 weeks. I WOULD DEFINATELY find

another OB if they are going to try to make you wait that long. That is

ridiculous, in my opinion!! I've had TWO us's so far (one at 6 weeks and

one at 8 weeks) and will have another next week (13 weeks) to make sure

the baby is progressing as it should. If your doc is concerned about

insurance paying, all he/she has to do is list you as high risk due to

wls, and it will be covered!!

Hon... get that US... it makes the world of difference when you can see

that little *lintel* grow into a *lime* -- it was the only way I would

believe I was pregnant! LOL!!

Good Luck! HUGS!!

Hey Kashi-

I was also told I was about 9 weeks along, and then went to the

doctor for my first ultrasound. They did the external ultrasound,

and saw nothing. My doctor then did an internal ultrasound, and it

took FOREVER for him to finally see the heartbeat. He kept playing

with the monitor and I was really starting to freak out. When the

heartbeat finally showed up, even the nurse grabbed the side of the

table and exclaimed " oh, thank God! " (that was very reassuring-

yeah, right!) It turned out I was only about 6 weeks along and

that's why they had such a hard time seeing the heartbeat. Don't

give up yet. Get them to do another ultrasound- demand it! It may

have been just too soon.

My thoughts are with you.

Sharon,

Thank you for your reply. I am planning to wait for a week or two

before getting another ultra sound. I am baffled that doc mentioned

d&c without checking hcg level and other blood work... isn't that bad?

That is rediculous. Although my insurance co. generally pays for 2 US's if

your OB finds it necessary they will pay for more. In my pre-op pregnancy I

had 11 US's and in my post-op I had 8. I might also include I see a

Perinatologist (high risk OB) as I am Epileptic. So, I don't know if that

has any bearing on it.
