  - Yes, she said it could go one of two ways...a normal healthy pregnancy or mischarge...

    - I hate to tell you that you need to be concerned but you do. I have suffered through 4 miscarriages and 2 of them presented exactly like this. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a different outcome than I did.

- unfortunately, it could go either way and right now, no one really knows. i've had 2 mc's and 2 healthy pregnancies ... for what it's worth, you won't know you're in the clear until db is born. i had 1 very early miscarriage (around 7/8 wks), 1 at 11 wks, 1 truly easy pregnancy, and 1 that wasn't too bad but the baby kept failing all the diagnostics (nuchal, gestational diabetes, etc), though i didn't end up having any of the underlying conditions and he is perfectly healthy. good luck

- Were you charting? Could the doctor be mistaken about when you conceived?
