I was told I lost my daughter at 12 weeks and 3 days. She was no longer growing. I insisted on another ultrasound because my HCG was still good. My daughter is now 9 years old and is doing amazing.

If your hormones are going up, then the tech who first measured you was wrong with the dating.

My first ultrasound my doctor told me I had a miscarriage based on the day he “thought” I got pregnant & I had slight darker red bleeding. I was literally so devastated… broke my heart:broken_heart:. I was to go back two weeks later for a check up to make sure everything resolved itself with having a miscarriage & when he did a ultrasound my baby’s heartbeat was there. It was just to early to tell. Now I have a very healthy handsome almost 2 year old baby boy:blue_heart:
don’t loose faith because God knows what he’s doing!

If the doctor is telling you their hope, their hope. Just gonna keep yourself relax and don’t stress that’s probably hard to do but it’s the best and only thing you can do right now is try to stay relax.
Did they see a heartbeat on US? Heartbeat should be detected by 8 weeks. Maybe your period was later and you got your dates wrong
I’ve never gone through this, but since your hcg levels are going up I’d say it sounds like you are not having a miscarriage. Wait it out, trust your gut, look into another doctor. Prayers to you 
God will never put you though something you cannot handle! You just keep faith in him & pray pray pray! I will also keep you & your family in my prayers 
I had something similar. I fell pregnant had a ultrasound at 6 weeks couldn’t find the heart beat went for another ultrasound 2 weeks later still wasn’t growing and no heartbeat but had 2 blood test in between and hcg levels where climbing went for a third ultrasound 3 weeks later at another ultrasound place where they found 2 sacs with something in them but unfortunately no heart beats in either. I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks and went into full on labour with the miscarriage.
I really hope and prey that your baby is ok it such a horrible thing to go through. Seeing your post made my eyes water as it brought back some horrible feelings for me. Sending luck and positive vibes xoxo
If your hormones are going up that’s a good sign! Your baby could be growing a little bit slower than normal. Don’t give up your hopes because God works miracles everyday! I got this app it’s called tiny beat and I can honestly pick my baby’s heart rate up on it. That may give you some reassurance. I know 100% it works. I can place it on my own heart and hear it. Just place it right above your pubic bone and move it around until you pick it up!

Imo there is always hope❤️
It’s a good sign your levels are rising. Mine were rising also but only very slightly where they should have been a lot. Then they started to go down. I was told to wait and see. Unfortunately I started spotting and on ultrasound at 12 weeks no heartbeat was found. Baby had stopped growing at 9 weeks. I really hope your pregnancy continues I know how hard it is
I did. Mine went up but did not double like they should have. I miscarried. They also saw a sac at 6 weeks but never a baby or a heartbeat.
Kayla Gilreath tell them your story!!!
Wait, doctors are NOT always right. If there is a heartbeat, there is a heartbeat

my daughter is going through a similar situation. she’s supposed to be 8 weeks and baby was measuring 5 weeks 6 days. she had light bleeding and 3 days later it got a bit darker, so she went to the E.R the ultrasound tech said baby was measuring 5 weeks 4 days and could be a possible miscarriage, but there’s still hope. she waits for the doctor to come in and they tell her she’s most likely having a miscarriage and can speed the process up with a pill. she refused and we are praying for the baby to be healthy. her hcg. levels have went up. they were 5,000 and are 9,000 as of last night so we shall see. she goes to the doctor tomorrow.

With my daughter the obgyn told me my baby was dead. Just like that. And told me to order a d&c and i told him id rather just lose it at home. Go back a week later after no bleeding or cramping, my daughter was bouncing around like crazy with a heartbeat and was totally fine. I REFUSED to see that other dr again. There is always hope

If the baby wasn’t growing, chances are it’s going to end in miscarriage. The body will continue to create hormones until you miscarry. Sounds like a missed miscarriage. I’m so sorry. I know the feeling all too well.

All I will say is it is ALWAYS worth it to get a 2nd opinion! I would try not to get your hopes up too much, but you never know. I had a similar miscarriage with my first pregnancy, and it did turn out to be true. But I demanded to be sent to another doctor to be checked out JUST in case, because I read stories where the doctors had been wrong with other people. Even though it turned out to be a miscarriage, it made me feel better to get that second opinion & know that I did everything in my power.
With my rainbow baby, there were actually a few times that the doctor couldn’t find my daughters heartbeat, and they had to do an NST on me.
God bless you. Prayers
yes baby could just be small! they told me ny baby stopped growing or wasnt on track snd he is 3 and has no problems at all
At 12weeks 5 days all blood work and urine STILL SAID I wasnt preg…they were wrong
I had my baby die while I was carrying it with no signs at all…I had taken home test soon after I missed my period and it was positive but when I went to a clinic to get a test to get a positive test result for the dr it came up negative so when I went to my appt they done test and it was also negative but I knew I was pregnant so they done a ultrasound and found my baby:heart: but there was no heartbeat 
I swear I felt like dying…it was our first…I told them they had to find my babys heartbeat but it wasn’t there…I had to gi home knowing my baby was dead and was going to be taken from my body by a d&c the next day…it was supposed of been 13 weeks but I was 23 weeks pregnant…it just wasn’t meant to be at that time is what I kept telling myself…I was offered to deliver my baby but I just couldn’t. But plz don’t give up if theres a heartbeat theres hope…just pray pray pray!! Please keep us updated …you and your precious baby are in my prayers:heart:

I had a 12 week ultrasound with my daughter and they told me she wasn’t growing. That she was measuring at 8 weeks. They told me my amniotic fluid was extremely low and that I’d more than likely miscarry. I got a 2nd opinion and turns out, the small town Dr and ultrasound tech were wrong. She was spot on and thriving with plenty of amniotic fluid. She was born on time weighing 7lbs 14oz. She’s 4.5 today and so full of life. I’d definitely get a second opinion.
I almost lost my son after 4 years of wanting a baby. I made sure I kept my legs up when I could, didn’t do anything stressful, etc. He is 46 now!! Had a tubal pregnancy when my son was 5 and never could have children again. I didn’t know I was pregnant.
I wouldnt give up hope yet. You could very well end up with a healthy baby. Dont let them talk you into anything just yet. You could be just not as far along as they thought

They told me something similar but at 5 months along. I had a 2 vessel cord pregnancy now mind you the only ultrasound I had before this was at 3 months and the nurse didn’t say anything about the baby being off track for growth anyhow my hormones were off at 5 months but they said they monitor it so at almost 7 month ultrasound the baby was still slowly growing ,well I went into labor at 35 wks due to low amniotic fluid and had a perfect healthy baby girl 5.2 pounds only 17.5 inches long tho but luckily no NICU

Your baby can survive… You’ll just have more appointments and more than usually stuff done… This is coming from a momma of an iugr/sga baby
Yes! They could def be wrong! My almost two year old is proof of that. I had theee maybe four ultrasounds before they could hear a heartbeat and confirm pregnancy.

My SIL had similar situation
My nephew was always too small in the womb where the doctor was concerned and she had to show up at the clinic frequently to make sure everything is fine
My nephew is 7m old now very healthy
This is weird because I have 2 opposite answers.

Try not to get your hopes up just be crushed all over again. My son died right at the beginning of the 2nd trimester and I had ZERO signs anything happened. No signs doesnt necessarily mean a good thing.

My daughter had similar issues. From day 1 during my pregnancy, every ultrasound I had, they told me she measured atleast 3-6 weeks behind other babys her gestational age. They basically told me she was going to either be super small or die shortly after birth. And they were wrong. She is a happy, healthy 2 year old. She is just a small kid. About the same weight as a 10 month old. Some kids are just small. She is just genetically a small person. Which is okay!
Dont freak out until you know for sure what is happening. I really hope this turns out well for you!
Take a deep breath and PRAY HARD.God will not forsake you.If there’s a heartbeat do not allow them to do anything to your body .Docs are wrong all the time.If there’s no heartbreak then you take all the time you need to heal but don’t count your chickens before they hatch.Hugs

I had an embryo stop growing at 8 weeks and went in at 10 weeks, there was no hearbeat and it was turning into a blob. We decided to wait for my body to get rid of itself, it never did, had another ultrasound at 12 weeks, it was a worse blob amd still showing it stopped growing at 8 weeks. Has to go in and get a d & c, had that done at 13 weeks and by that time my body started realizing what was going on and the horomone stopped rising, We had the embryo tested and it was due to a chromosome defect. Where if it went through the pregnancy there was a great chance he would have only survived a few hours.

I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks my baby passed away had a heartbeat at 6 weeks 3 days n nothing at 9 weeks 4 days I found out at 12 weeks on my spouse birthday that our baby has passed away I saw the ultrasound n I saw my baby not moving no heartbeat… It destroyed me. I completely lost my symptoms at around 9 weeks throwing up stopped completely I was happy n honestly felt great turns out my lil one went on to heaven ( being my 1st ever pregnancy i had absolutely no idea what could all happen TBH) …missed miscarriages happen not often but they happen wait n see maybe baby is just a little behind if u sayw a heartbeat n now nothing chances are baby is in heaven good luck my heart goes out to you mama and all the other mama’s here that have babies in heaven:heart: hugs to all ( also I got the d&c a day or 2 after we found out they tested out baby turns out baby had a chromosome issue could have had turners syndrome. Baby didn’t have enough chromosomes n wouldn’t have survived either way… Things happen for a reason prayers n love to you all:heart:
If there was a heart beat then there is hope

I had “habitual miscarriage” for 15 years. Had at least 10. Im not sure but you can ask your doctor to put you on progesterone and metformin. It prevented me from miscarring. Im not sure what stage of preg its used at
sending prayers maybe they were wrong on how far along u are…
Depends are your numbers going up or doubling every 2 days… mine went up, up up 6 days then dropped but never doubling. I miscarried at 10 weeks
Yes they can be wrong they told me my baby stopped growing went in for an ultrasound 2 weeks later and know my baby hadn’t quit growing and now he’s 7 months old

Just pray about it if its meant to be it will be born i lost 4 babys im a row very painful process it was just the anniversary of the death of my twins. I remember every date march 24
As long as your HCG levels are going up, it’s possible you still have a thriving pregnancy. Good luck momma❤️
You could also just be earlier on then you thought. With my third and last pregnancy I went in for my ultrasound I was supposed to be 8 weeks but I was only measuring 6 weeks so my dr scheduled another ultrasound for 2 weeks later and said if the next ultrasound shows 8 weeks then you were just not as far along as you thought or if it still shows 6 weeks then you have a bad pregnancy so I went in two weeks later and sure even it showed I was 8 weeks so I just ovulated later.
