Found out I was pregnant in Aug. I was so excited . Went to the Dr and had a ultrasound it was to early to tell 5 wks. I have fibroid tumors so my uteras is very enlarged. They did blood work to check my hormone level and I had to come back in a week. Another u/s was done and the Dr told me that the fetus sac was empty and no heartbeat. That it was a miscarriage and scheduled a D & C. Aug 29th 07' had my surgery. The Dr said everything went well. Went back a week later for post opt and the Dr said he wanted to do another u/s bcuz he was worried about the fibroids. That if they were in the way I would need surgery to have them remove so i could try to get pregnant again. Came back a week later 9/15/07 to have the u/s & the u/s tech said sweetie are u sure u had a D & C bcuz there's a baby. I stated to cry, my mom and the u/s tech too. We could not believe this, how could this be? We saw the baby and it's heartbeat. Told me that i'm 9 wks and due date 4/15/08. I'm scared and excited at the same time. I don't know if any harm was made to the baby. Now i'm waiting to hear from the DR. I have alot of ?s for him. Has this ever happend to anyone before? HELP....

jazyboo · 16/09/2007 14:24

Sometimes you can have what is known as a bicornuate uterus , so the womb is divided into two, so there could have been one foetus in one side and another in the other.So maybe that 's how the other baby was missed.
Fingers crossed , it sounds very exciting
The operation shouldn't have affected the baby really at all, the mian thing is that it has a heartbeat

What was weird is that I felt fine after the D & C. I bleed a lil that day and the next day it had stopped. I had nauesa the whole week and my mom said it's probably from the anesthesia that's making you sick. I thought is was my sinus that where draining and making me want to throw up in the mornings and through out the day. I wouldn't want to eat bcuz i thought i was going to throw up. Now it makes sense that i'm pregnant!!!

Wow, that's amazing! What a roller coaster of emotions for you. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well

Sheherazadethegoat · 16/09/2007 14:41

how scary and amazing for you. this happened to my cousins mother, she had a d&c adn no one believed her when she said she was still pregnant (pre scans etc) then my cousin arrived perfectly healthy.

good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

Latest update the Dr called me today. He couldn't realy explain what happend but told me that the fibroid tumors where probably protecting the fetus. With my uteras being so enlarged that it was hiddend during the D & C. It's a miracle that it survided. And now that the fetus has grown it was visible in the u/s. Now I have to worry that the baby will be albe to grow with the fibroid tumors. I go back to the Dr Oct 1st. I'm going to pray that everything goes well.

i know that sometimes when people have terminations it doesn't always work first time. both medical and D&C. its fairly rare but more common with the medical method

mysonsmummy · 18/09/2007 09:17
