no baby for me

   Hey all, I went for my 12 week scan today - I was prepared for bad news as I began off and on bleeding on Monday night - nothing too heavy, but with clots and cramping which worried me.

My m/w suggested me on Monday night to wait til today's scan (as it was already booked) and when I had it my fears were confirmed - there was no heartbeat and the baby had only grown to the length it should have been at 8w2d, and I should've been 12 weeks yest. 

I still felt (feel) pregnant, just had not much m/s over the past few weeks which I thought was a blessing! 

I am glad that I had gone in to the u/s knowing that if there was a heartbeat it would've been a miracle - I had given myself the last 3 days to get used to knowing that it had a high chance of bad news. When the sonographer measured the baby and saw no heartbeat it just confirmed what I already knew and felt inside.

The only thing I am annoyed with is, it hasn't been growing or have a heartbeat for almost a month! That's so unfair!  How could I have got to 12 weeks and this happen!!

We are looking on the positive side though - we know we can conceive, I'm still young (26years) and I live a very healthy and active lifestyle. I didn't do anything wrong - did everything by the book and this still happened.

Big hugs to everyone who gave me positive thoughts before my scan and hopefully I will re-join you in a couple of months!
