My Doctor Believes I'm In the Early Stages of Miscarrying - Please Provide Any Input?

I think it's hard for us as non-medical professionals to fully understand what is being said to us. I have not been in your situation in terms of a possible miscarriage, however I have been given results via 'numbers' which were completely scary to me, so I can only offer you my advice on how to cope emotionally. My results for the downs syndrome test should have come in at around a 1:700 chance based on my age etc, however they came in at a 1:85 chance. I was not told this by a doctor, I received a phone call while I was at work, from the medical receptionist who said the doctor didn't know how to read the results and that I needed to pick the results up immediately and go straight to the hospital. So, I picked up the results from the doctors and opened them in my car... alone and petrified of what I might have seen. It was the scariest thing EVER for me to see that my baby had a very high chance of having downs syndrome. I, like i'm sure you have, cried and cried. It is sooo much easier said than done, but you need to stay positive. I am a firm believer of "trust your gut instinct". In my situation, I felt it deep down that my baby was ok - I just needed the medical report to back it up. In your situation, you said your husband and you felt as though you could breath a sigh of relief at being the furtherest along in a pregnancy than you have before. That is a good and very positive sign! Trust and believe in it! Numbers are just that... Numbers! There are many other factors (and unfortunately, more numbers!) that would need to marry up with your hcg results in order to deem you a high risk for miscarriage. Without these, I don't feel your doctor has much to go by. You are allowed to stay awake tonight, the love you have for your unborn child is the reason for this. When you have your ultrasound tomorrow, ask questions. Ask lots of questions. How do they get the results they do. Why has the result come out the way it has (good or bad) I really do wish you the best of luck. While I was ttc, someone on this forum sent me their baby dust... I am passing my leftovers to you!
