Mako, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow too! Hope all goes well and that you get to see a nice strong flicker now that bubs has had more time to grow a good heartbeat.

Thanks everyone your support means so much to me as not too many people IRL know what's going on. My appointment isn't until 5pm so its going to be a long day I think. I'm going to try and keep as busy as possible without over doing it.

I've only just seen this thread. Good luck for today.

Just so you can hear another positive story - I had an early scan with my DS at 6w3d and they told me his heart rate was a bit slow. The doctor was actually quite insensitive and told me it meant that I had an increased chance of miscarriage, there was nothing they could do but wait and see, have a nice day. I got in the car and cried.

At 8 weeks my ob gave me a scan in his office and DS' heartbeat was perfect. My ob said that the slower heart rate at the first scan was most likely due to either his heart only just starting to beat that very day (like in the few hours prior to the scan) or it was merely just an aberration on that particular day.

My DS is a very healthy, hale and hearty 3.5yo now.

ETA: Actually, now that I think about it, I *thought* I was 6w3d when I went for this scan but they actually revised my dates back to 6w1d.

Thanks everyone. The day is going ever so slowly but I had a call from the Ob who is doing the scan and they have moved my appointment forward to 4:30 so only 2 hours to go now.
Curly thanks for sharing your story. Its so similar to mine the other day where the Dr went through the plan of attack if things weren't working out and I walked out after my appt and cried my eyes out. I just didn't want to hear what he was saying.
I'm so happy your DS is here with you today and am hoping like crazy this bub is going to come home with us too.

I'll pop back in later with the scan results.
