I wrote last week about my difficult dr.s appt at 7 weeks 3 days. There was a weak heart beat and the baby was measuring 6 weeks at that time. Well this week was not much better. The baby's heart beat was 74 (it should be over 110). A moment that I have waited my whole life to hear was heartbreaking. The heart beat was like, blub, silence, blub, silence. I knew it was not good before she even said how low the heartbeat was. Then she told me that the baby only grew 3 days in a 7 day period. When I met with the Dr. she said that they will not bring me in for another 10 days because there is nothing they can do for me and the appointments arent helping at all. The baby is either going to take off and rapidly grow, or the heart will stop beating. If the baby does make it, there are concerns about genetic issues being the cause of this so I will have the CVS test. This is all heartbreaking. I feel like I am waiting for my baby to die inside of me now. It's all wait and see at this point, although the Dr. thinks the baby will die before my next appointment. I'm really hoping the baby beats all the odds and surges forward with growth but I know the chances are slim at this point.
