Pleased help, I'm scared of losing this baby too

I'm currently 8 wks pregnant and when i had a scan on Tuesday (i was 7 1/2 wks pregnant at the time) to confirm dates, there was a heartbeat there (i saw it) but it was faint. I am having another scan this coming Thursday to check everythings ok. If the heartbeat was faint when i had my last scan, does it mean that something will go wrong and that i will lose it or is it going to be ok and live. I had a stillbirth 4 mths ago and don't think I'd be able to handle it if I lost this beautiful baby.

Well, it's still pretty early to hear a strong heartbeat, so I wouldn't jump to the worst conclusion yet. My SIL had a very faint heartbeat at 8 weeks, and it turns out she now has a very healthy 1 year old. Give it time, and try not to worry (that's a joke, huh?) Just don't panic yet, keep strong for that baby!
Love,
Mahadra

Don't panic! Thats the last thing you need to do when you're pregnant. Wait a couple more weeks and have them check again. If you do experience bleeding or severe cramping call ur dr asap. I wouldnt worry too much right now. Stay strong!

It might just be a bit early for a stong heart beat. Keep strong, be calm and try to relax! I know it's easier said than done. Wishing you lots and lots of luck, I hope everything goes well. Keep us posted on how you get on.
