Lost my bb 😓

I went for my routine check up yesterday happily as I am supposed to be week 8+6. However I was told that there is no more heartbeat. I am in so much shock as the heartbeat was very strong just a week back. Gynae said this may be due to genetics issue but I can’t help to think if it’s because of us having sex once a few days ago. We were very careful to be gentle and slow. My pregnancy is a high risk one and I have been taking progesterone daily. We had sex once around 7 weeks but bb was healthy and heartbeat was strong after that so we didn’t think it would be a problem. Can someone please tell me if it’s because of us that we lost our baby ??? 😓😓

I’m so sorry to hear that.. I lost my bb previously at week 5. Most of the time it’s because the fetus has genetic defects that couldn’t continue to grow. Really don’t blame yourself or ur husband. I know how devastating it can be. I was crying none stop for 3-4 days. But give urself time to mourn and heal. Even my gynae told me it’s very common, and happen to alot of couples. So don’t have to take it too personally. Perhaps the bb know the time is not right, and when the time is right, ur bb will visit again. Stay strong.

Crying is absolutely normal and please use your own means to grieve and heal. However it’s important not to over do it so that it doesn’t turn into something too negative. Your baby will come when the time is right. Don’t give up.
