Just a little update on last week's post about the low fetal heart rate and low measurement at my 7.5 week ultrasound. Went back for a one week check. The heart rate was up to 165, however the baby is still measuring smaller than my dates (which are correct and correspond to the size of the gestational sac). Doc says this all could be normal. However, he also said that I could still miscarry and if the baby growth continues to lage that it could be an indication of a genetic abnormality. Not much I can do but wait and see. Next ultrasound is on the 22nd to recheck growth. Am considering CVS if things look dismal. It is all very distressing, but I am trying to put my energy into my two beautiful children. I will keep you posted. Thanks.

Will be praying for you! I am not an expert but from what I do know, a good heart rate is a VERY positive sign!

Didn't catch your first post but wanted to send you some more optimism. From this description it sounds exactly like my neighbors last pregnancy... & her perfectly healthy (albeit skinny) DD will be turning 1 in a few weeks... & she just showed-up in the latest Boppy ads, she's that perfect.

It's hard to not let it get you down, but it sounds like you're hanging in there. I'll be praying for you.

My thoughts and prayers will be with your family. I think you gave yourself some great advice -- putting your energy into your two beutiful children and hence your third.

Thanks for keeping us posted.
