I have had spotting and cramping through this pregnancy, and a scan last week showed me to be 8 weeks pregnant with a good strong heartbeat. The bleeding continued, and a second scan today has shown that the foetus has grown by about the expected amount, but the heartbeat is very weak, about half the rate they would expect. The hospital seem totally certain that this is the end and the pregnancy is very, very unlikely to continue. I'll be back in next week for another scan.
I am not looking for false hope, I feel resigned, but I would love to hear from anyone who has experience of a slow fetal heartbeat, whatever to outcome. Also from anyone would could tell me what to expect from a MC at 9 weeks? Thank you in advance, I feel like I am going to be in for a very long week.
