I thought I miscarried in August. I was only a week or so pregnant. I had two ultrasounds in early sept., both showed empty sac, and my uterus measured 5 weeks. My blood tests still indicate HCG at low levels…decreasing little by little since September after a surge. However, I am gaining a little weight. I notice that I am having trouble with my waistline. I have been feeling little movements, mostly when I am sitting. I wonder if I am in fact still pregnant. My midwife says that we will not be able to detect anything on an ultrasound with this low a level of HCG.
I have been bleeding for about 9 days, with some clotting. I eat predominantly raw foods and wonder if maybe that has something to do with low HCG levels. As I know not much research has been done on the subject of Raw Vegan diet, but I do know that it changes your alkaline/acid balance…and a lot more (for the better)! So, what else could those little movements be? Any ideas?
rawmumma, what did you eat when pregnant? What did you avoid? I’m hoping to become pregnant and would like to have a diet that would stand up to scrutiny. I tracked my eating for a couple of days (100% raw) and was consistently very low in iron and calcium. Also, the recommended carb, fat, protein ratios seemed impossible to achieve. I’m going to be 40 in March and had 2 miscarriages this year – so it’s hard not to be obsessive about it all.
Sorry jaime, I don’t know what to say. If you were 4 months pregnant by now you would definitely be able to see the baby on an ultrasound the HCG wouldn’t really have anything to do with that as far as I know.
