I just had my first appointment yesterday, and it's not looking good.
I am 42, and should be 7 weeks and 3 days along. The ultrasound showed a wonderful sack (I had a previous ectopic pregnancy, so was happy when I saw this!), but the embryo was a little fuzzy, measured at 6 weeks, and there was no heartbeat. I'm still hopeful that it could be a mistake, but my doctor suspects the baby stopped developing and that I'll likely miscarry this week. I go back Friday to have another ultrasound, and go from there. I hadn't planned on this pregnancy, but it doesn't take long to get really attached to the idea of a third child!
