If they give you a scan straight away then it's not 100% accurate, as you can still miscarriage while the baby has a heartbeat. But if you wait overnight or at least a few hrs, then you will know for sure that the baby will stick. I had this same problem with my hospital, and they explained it to me which was good. Cept, I had to wait to be called for my appt, an it wasn't til the next afternoon; then spent an hr and a half in the waiting room coz they forgot bout me.
Think positive! I think what happened to me is whats happening to you! You should be getting cramps or some kind of pain if you were miscarrying. when the u/s guy asked me if I wanted to hear the heartbeat me, my OH and my mum all started crying coz they thought I mc'd.
I am sorry lovely that you have had to go through this. It must have been so distressing to wake out to find that.
There is nothing you can do but wait unfortunately and I know it is the worst time ever. It sounds like your dad and OH are a great support to you and all I can say is draw on their strength to help you get through this.
just thought id pop back and say thanks for your nice words and support.
im going loop da loop waiting
