Baby not growing

Last Friday's ultrasound found no heartbeat.  I go tomorrow for a D&C.  :(

Thank you for asking.  

I'm sorry for your loss, I don't think it has anything to do with your wls.  I had a similar experience with my first pregnancy and miscarried but then got pregnant with my son and had no issues with his pregnancy.  With my 2nd it was just a normal pregnancy and with my 3rd (the post wls) baby I had a miscarriage the month before I got pregnant with her so I think my body may need a trial run before a healthy pregnancy.

Thank you for your insight.

I think we are going to wait a few months and try one more time.  We are an older couple (I'm 40; he's 50) and it just may not be in the cards for us. But we'll try one more time and hope for the best.

I turned 40 last August--and just had my little girl in April!  And feel old as my oldest son is 12 and I just went with my newborn to his middle school oreintation!

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I had a similar experience.  About a year and a half after the RNY I got pregnant and at 7 weeks the baby was measuring 5.5 weeks and had a heartbeat about 75 or 80... and the RE said it didn't look too good, but sometimes they implant late etc... a week later there was no heartbeat.  I also had a D/C.

I tried again (and was 42 now) a couple months later and gave birth to my son a month after I turned 43.  

I don't think the surgery had anything to do with it at all...  One thing i did was start using an accupuncturist who worked with my doctor - so she focused on getting the uterine blood flow to its optimal point... I had a normal and healthy pregnancy and a healthy little boy who is a true blessing.

I hope you have the same happy ending... 

Thank you Mary.

I just returned from my follow-up appointment after the D&C.  The doctor was very optimistic and said the chances of a miscarriage go from 1 in 5 women (who have one) to 1 in 25 who have more than one.  She encouraged me to try again whenever I'm ready.  My partner is definitely ready to try again.  I'm a bit more...hesitant.  I really don't want to go through that stress again.
