After ttc for 5mths we got a very welcome bfp, I have been nervous the whole time as before our DD we had a 2nd tri missed mc. Anyway made an appt with my Ob at what I thought would be 7.5wks and was anxious to have my fears squashed by hearing a heartbeat. My Ob noted the sac but couldnt detect a heartbeat, he did both a internal and external u/s. He then measured the sac and said it was measuring for about 5wks so either I O'd late or the pregnancy isnt progressing and I will mc. Has anyone been in this situation and had a good outcome.....a healthy baby? I cant see how I can be 2-3 wks out and I recall this happening with my 1st preg and that didnt end well. My Ob said he'd see me again in 3wks...argh the wait and over xmas and NY. Its hard to be too devastated when my constant companion is a joyful 20mth yr old, but I would so love to give her a sibling and if this baby isnt to join us it means I would be having a baby at 40 and I dont know if Im up for ttc again after 2mc's. I suppose I should try and stay positive , my Ob certainly talked as though it would be ok but also made it clear a mc was a possibility. So any positive happy outcome stories would be great.
Lola,
I just wanted to send you a big basket full of sticky vibes. I pray you get your baby this time round and with no complications. Hang in there and keep thinking positive its sure got to better than thinking negative.
Lola, I went along for my u/s at which time I thought I was 6 - 7 weeks, but I was actually 5 wks and 6 days (according to the length of the bubba). AF had only just become regular - but I had no idea when I o'd.
The u/s lady did detect a heartbeat and my untrained eye could only just see the heart flickering. But the u/s lady did also say that it's not too often they pick up a heart beat that early....so every bubba is different...
As hard as I can imagine it is - try to keep your chin up and think positive thoughts!! Especially with your 20 mth old over Xmas chic!
im so sorry to hear that, i do know how u feel, it happened to me with my son who is now 3 and this preg, i went for my ultrasound they found a sac but no bub, i went back 2 weeks later and there was a bub and heart beat, sometimes our bladder isnt full enough or in my case my uterus is retroverted which makes it a lot harder to see bub untill its much bigger,
but just try to keep positive i know its hard and i pray that ur little angel is just fine
Oh lola. you poor stressed out chicken... isnt the waiting just horrendous!!!!
If it helps.... i was given a scan report of "no sign of viable pregnancy" at 6w5d. There was a sac measuring 5w2d but that was all they could see. BUT look at us now!
Need help staying positive
