I am 8 weeks pregnant. this is my 3rd pregnancy in a year miscarried the first two at 6 weeks. Last week I went in for some minor spotting and the heartbeat was 157 bpm and dr said baby looked great. I am still bleeding a little nothing major and scared. Is it common to miscarry after seeing and hearing a strong hb?
Hallow Dear, I empathize your feelings. You have miscarried twice in the past and hence are naturally stressed out due to the current situation. It is good that your scan has revealed that the fetal heart is normal and fine. I would have appreciated if you were informed about the site of the bleeding; however, since your doctor has not made any of the mention it, it should not be from the chorionic tissue. Since you are having spotting/minor bleeding, I would advise taking some natural progesterone preparation from your Obstetrician. Also restrict yourself to the bed till your bleeding stops completely. Repeat the ultrasonography after a week to find out the status of pregnancy and baby. Depending up on the findings of this ultrasonography, further management can be planned. I hope this helps you.
