OK so I am currently 13w2d prego with my second child. I had a miscarriage in Dec 09. So up until about a week ago I had a hard knot above my pelvic bone so I was think everything was ok with the baby. But now the knot is not there I have had some cramping but they feel like menstural cramps nothing major like my first miscarriage and no bleeding. But what has brought me to think that my baby is no longer alive because I sat in the hot tub too long and I think I may have killed it not on purpose. I feel no emotional attachment to this baby anymore like I am not pregnant anymore. I do not have an appt until Aug 27 and I am scared to go because if they cant find the heartbeat I will know that this was my fault and I accidently killed my baby. Should I be worried? I am not sure if this feeling is because I am not so emotional anymore since I have entered my second trimester or what is going on. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

Sitting in a hot tub once will not kill your baby. If you do have a miscarriage, with rare exceptions, you will have done nothing to cause it.

You should be fine.

I sit in a hot tub every once in a while but not for more than about 5 min. You should be ok. If you do have a miscarriage it won't be because of the hot tub. But you should limit or discontinue using a hot tub because it raises your body temperature and your babies so you do need to be careful.

If you are concerned about your baby and a possible miscarriage then call your doctor. He/she may be able to get you in earlier for a check up.
