Unhappy My baby is dying

A part of me is dying too. I am 7.5w and found out via u/s 2 days ago that my little one is a week behind. It has a hb, but only 85 bpm when it should be well over 100 by now. So we have been told that by our next u/s on the 29th that it should be dead. So I sit here waiting for my precious miracle to die. It's taken us 2.5 yrs. to get here, 5 rounds of clomid, 4 injection cycles, & 3 iui's. I am just so sad. I feel like I'm in a fog most of the time. It's truly bizarre to watch the world continue to function around you when you feel like yours has stopped. Laughter here, a smile there, but nothing seems real, ya know? I am trying to function at work thinking that when I begin to actually miscarry that I will want to be nowhere near this place. But the truth is the only place I feel safe right now is at home w/ my dh and pup.. There are so many questions w/out answers. My dh is hurting but he won't talk about it. I want to be strong for him too but he won't let me. And the well meaning friends who try to say the "right" thing. I actually had one friend tell me it could be worse- I could be as big as a house right now like her friend who is due in Oct. Didn't she realize how cruel that was to say? Anyways, just one day at a time. It's been so long since I've lived my life any other way. So now I just wait- wait for my baby to die... I'm sorry ladies- and thank you if you've read this far. I pray that God takes this pain away from us all very soon...

Much love,
BB

I don't want to give you false hoep but I say don't give up entirely. My first u/s showed a fetus 1 week behind and a h/b of 98. The doctor was worried but a week later he measured dead on and had a heartbeat of around 180. I am praying that you have a miracle too. Caroline

((((HUGS))))

I'm so sorry to hear of your bad news. I'll be thinking of you.
Take care of yourself and DH. I know it's a rough time, but you will get through it. Take the time to heal in the meantime. Nobody will truly understand how you feel, but you and well wishers are sometimes cold without even knowing it.

Take care...

Do not give up that easily. The doctors told me I had a tubal pregnancy at 4 weeks. I started bleeding at 6 weeks, u/s showed normal pregnancy with no fetal pole. I bled for the next 10 weeks. The ob would not see me because they said my pregnancy was not viable. On March 26, 2003 I gave birth to a healthy 36.5 week baby that weighed 8lb 2 oz. I wish you the best.
