    My first doctor's appointment was today, and it was an enormous letdown. The baby's heartbeat is half of where it should be at this point in the pregnancy. This means that my chances of miscarrying in the next 2 weeks is extremely high. I'm going back next week for another ultrasound as my doctor did see a heartbeat...it just wasn't strong.

    I'm not going to lie...my husband and I are heartbroken. I never knew there could be this kind of sadness. I'm hoping and praying that by some miracle, God decides to save our baby and he/she turns out healthy and happy.

    As things progress, I'll keep you ladies updated, but just was looking for a little support in having to go through this. I was hoping I would never have to write a post like this...

    Thanks all. It's comforting to know that you all are here to offer encouraging words. My doctor said that there isn't anything that I can or can't do to prevent it from happening if it's going to happen...and there wasn't anything I did or didn't do that produced this outcome either. So it's definietly a wait and see approach. I know that God will only give me as much as I can handle, but this definitely isn't something I wanted experience handling.

    Thinking of you....wishing I could take away your worry and sadness - oh if it were only that easy right?

    I'm really hoping that your next ultrasound will have better news (I know I have read of instances where the heart rate was higher at the next ultrasound).  Did the doctor tell you what they measured the heart rate at?  Or did they just say it was low?

    *big hugs*

    @echo: We actually saw the heartbeat ourselves. He couldn't find it at first, and when he finally did, we could see that it was slower than my own pulse rate (which is usually around 90...high for a healthy female, I know). I knew as soon as the nurse left when he couldn't find it at first that it was bad news. I'm not giving up on him/her yet, but I'm just trying not to get my hopes up too high either....

    @2PeasinaPod: I'm so sorry your appointment was so sad. I know it's impossible not to worry and be upset, but remember that right now, you are still pregnant, your baby is still with you, still alive, heart still beating. Will be praying for strength for you and your little one, better news next week, and peace to you and your husband as you go through this.

    @2PeasinaPod:  I know exactly what you mean about trying to remain positive, but at the same time, trying not to get your hopes up too high either.  It's such a fine line to walk isn't it?  Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

    That's no good!

    Totally praying that our awesome God would have His hand on that child..... His child, that the healing that our Saviour accomplished for us would be manifested and that Gods Word would invade and encourage your heart.. knowing that what is from God is ALWAYS good and that it's the enemy that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I speak and believe life over that child and that the plan that was set out for them before the creation of the Earth would stand and that with God they would walk in out to completion. In Jesus Mighty name!

    p.s. Remember that David fasted and prayed for his son full of faith that God would heal him to the very end, regardless of the way it looked... he stood on the Word and God's truth ;)

    I'll continue to pray for you and your family! ;)
