My wife had an appt with her ogbyn today. He explained to her that sometimes that test has a false positive and he's rarely had a positive 2nd test really indicate any problems.
Well, he went to check the heart beat today and there wasn't one. They did 2 different ultra sounds and nothing.
Tomorrow the wife will be induced and deliver the deceased baby. This is likely going to be the toughest day of my life and I know it will be hers and would appreciate some prayers especially for her.
Thanks everyone.

This happened between my 3rd and 4th kid.
Left the doctor's office with a possible later date to induce deceased labor Wife curled up in the car and basically delivered it in the passenger floor. The pain and feeling of not being able to do anything was unbearable.
I had to carry her to the bedroom from the garage downstairs as she couldn't walk.
Feeling for ya.
And as far as those false positives. We've had them for 3 out of the 5 kiddos. ours was a hole in the brain that could be an indicator to down syndrome. Sometimes I think they actually have it.
