She’s gone, and I just needed to tell someone. Thank you to everyone who contributes here.
I heard my baby’s heartbeat at 9w 2d. It was fast, I knew it was a girl. I thought it anyway, and I know HR is a wives tale. But hearing the fast HR, I knew it was a girl. A week later we got the call I was high risk for Trisomy 21 (99.6 PPV) and confirmed girl.
I scoured this thread reading all the false positive stories. I had such peace and calm, so I thought that meant she would be one of the miracle babies. Today I am 10w 2d, and there was no heartbeat. She’d stopped growing several days ago.
I’m sad but also calm. I’m so thankful if it was going to go this way, that I didn’t have to go through the ups and downs of more tests and more confusion. God made the decision for us. For that, I am thankful.
My D&C is in 2 days.
We have a wonderful son, and I will continue to be forever thankful for the blessing he is.
Thank you to everyone who contributes to this thread. It really got me through some difficult days.
