Everyone seems surprised I am still carrying this fetus. I've had no bleeding at any point. Should I expect this pg to terminate? Both my doc and the radiologist told me they have only seen a fetal heartrate this low when fetal demise was underway--but not to lose hope. Has anyone out there observed such ominous signals NOT end in a mc? I would welcome hearing any response--even if it is only to buck up and face the worst.

Have been reading about NK cells in the uterus on another list (about immunological issues) as a possible cause for small for term, low fetal heartrate problems. What are NK cells? Is this a controversial assessment?

Thanks for any help you can give, Nicole D.
