I've been a bit quiet coz we got some good news and not good news.
On Feb 24th at 6w3d baby had a h/b but only measured 5w2d (4.5mm)and the sac was GSD 5w2d - 5w6d .. longest GSD (gestation sac diameter) being 11.2mm so this week at 7w5d baby had grown to 1.7mm (equal to 7w2d) so had increased by 2 weeks and had a recordable heartbeat of 147 .. so that is the good news.
bad news is the sac hasn't grown in proportion and only just fits in as borderline normal. longest GSD being 19.7mm or 6w6d. It is a funny shape not nice and round, looks like it is quashed. the other sac has also grown but still looks empty and the subchorionic bleed has shrunk.
So we still don't know if this baby is going to make it or not. She did say my OB should be able to tell us more when he does his own scan on the 15th.
I picked up a very clear heartbeat on the doppler at 7w3d and haven't heard it since so I was glad the scan showed it was still there!
Usually by now I am almost bedridden with m/s but this time I get a faint sense of nausea if i get tired and the only time I have dry retched at all was the morning I cleaned out the puppies kennel... mind you that would set anyone off!!!
So... I dunno... the old wait and see ... but I can't help feeling baby won't make it. As the sonographer described it, we have a perfect baby in an imperfect house.
