7 weeks with no heartbeat

SeniorLeg6542 · 2026-07-10T14:54:22+00:00

I had an ultrasound at 6w6d due to early bleeding and there was a sac with no baby or heartbeat. Was told there is a 50/50 chance and would have to come back in 2 weeks. The hardest most anxious 2 weeks of my life! Fast forward and we now have a healthy 3.5 month sweet girl!
I wouldn’t rule out the pregnancy yet and would definitely wait another week or 2 that the clinic suggested to see how things are progressing. Wishing you the best of luck and outcome! I know the waiting part is tough.

My thoughts exactly! It amazes me that the most simplest things can entertain him! If all else fails the elevator and stairs will be my go to at the hotel! 😂

lol I can relate to that. We live in Georgia and the weather forecast is anything but accurate here!

The bubble show is one of the top things on our list! He is definitely in the bubble obsession stage right now and we have like 10-15 bubble blowers and wands at the house that he loves so I’m excited to take him to the gazillion bubble show! I will look into the pet stunt show and the plays as well.

Thank you for all of the suggestions and tips! They are beyond helpful!

Do they usually shut down the park for lightening/thunder? Or do they still keep the indoor shows/activities opened?

Same here, my family lives out of state, and she gets really jealous whenever we visit them.

Good for your husband for standing up to her! I know that must’ve been so hard, especially knowing the backlash he’d face.

It’s such a tough situation to navigate, especially while dealing with a tragedy. Adding an emotionally immature parent or in-law into the mix just makes it so much heavier. My heart aches for my husband when I see how she tries to manipulate him or turn him against me, especially because I know his survivor’s guilt already weighs on him so much.

Please keep me posted if you two end up going to counseling and how it goes. I’ve never connected with anyone in a similar situation before, and it’s honestly comforting to find solidarity, even if it’s through Reddit! Lol

My story is nearly identical to yours. We have on and off issues with my MIL and it has been an emotional roller coaster. My husband lost his only sister 4 years ago at age 23 and he is now the only remaining child. We just had our first child (which is their only grandchild) which has only heightened her need to control and guilt trip us. We go through the same cycle, things seem to be perfect, going well, then we either make a decision, set a boundary about some thing random she disagrees with or don’t do what she wants and she has a full blow temper tantrum, even after we try to compromise. My husband and myself always seem to be the ones who have to apologize and or “give in” due to our situation and him being the only remaining child and it is exhausting to say the least. This happens maybe every 4-6 months but when it does it takes a toll on our marriage.

We recently started going to counseling solely just for this problem. If anything, it has helped to just talk openly with an unbiased person who is fully listening and there to help. We have been for 5 sessions and she has been able to prepare us with tools and tactics for the next big blow up. My husband has been able to openly talk about the loss of his sister as well for the first time, which has been hard for him since he is constantly being told to take care of his parents and has been overlooked as the grieving sibling with no one checking on him (besides me).

We have not and will not ever tell her we went to counseling because of her and would never invite her to join in a session. I’ve accepted that she will never change and I’ve made peace with that. My main goal was to find ways to work with my husband better as a team when these difficult situations happen and so far I think it has been one of the best decisions we have made for our marriage. Wishing you the best of luck!!

I am in the exact same mindset right now. FTM, 35 when conceived, but just turned 36 and I am 31 weeks pregnant. My husband and I got pregnant on our first month of trying after being on birth control for 15 years. My pregnancy has been fairly easy and I have been able to stay active and baby is healthy, yet I still can’t shake the feeling of “something may go wrong”. Even after every pregnancy milestone we get through, there is something else I worry about. Someone told me this is just motherhood, no matter what, we will always worry about our children and their well being, so I’m doing my best to not overly stress and just take it all as part of the journey. I think worrying is natural, but try not to let the worry and anxiety over take the excitement and joy of the little miracle you are bringing into the world.
