millyD I'm sorry to hear your scan was so confusing. I haven't heard of that before but I have cared for a woman who had a very interesting few months. Firstly her pregnancy was an IVF pregnancy where she had 2 embies implanted. At 6weeks she had a scan which showed one empty sac and a healthy pregnancy measuring around what she was. At 10weeks she had a bleed so had another scan which showed a bub measuring 8weeks with no heartbeat. She had PV bleeding at this time and it was written in the conclusion a D&C was recommended. She refused as she said she knew the baby was fine. She had a repeat scan a week later which also showed the same thing. The lady then had a scan at 18weeks which showed a healthy pregnancy at 10weeks so they referred her else where and then a scan at 21weeks (done at a fetal medicine unit) showed her bub was 21weeks and perfect. No sign of the sac with no heartbeat in it or the smaller bub. If I hadn't read the reports myslef no way would I have believed it possible to have so many scans that were wrong. I couldn't believe everything I read in her notes had recommended she have a D&C and how luck she was to have stuck with her head and refused. Bub was so lucky.
Damprye glad to hear you got to see your bubs beautiful little heartbeat. Did they do an internal one or external. My second child measured 8days behind and by the 13week scan was measuring what I really thought she was. Then they said because my uterus was retroverted that thats why they didn't get the measurements right. Hope the next 10days goes quickly for you.
