Hi All, this is my first time posting here as we recently had a MMC and the ERPC surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.
Does anybody know if a final scan will be offered before the operation? It's been a week since my last scan and I just wanted to make sure nothing had changed in that time (probably just me holding on to false hope if I'm honest). I'm having the procedure through the NHS (who have all been great so far) and I wasn't sure if this is something they do?
We went for a private scan (because we were too impatient to wait for the NHS dating scan) and while my dates were recorded as 10 weeks, the baby only measured 6+4 with no heartbeat . We immediately went to A&E and was advised by the loveliest Dr to have a blood test to measure the HCG levels in my system (unfortunately this isn't available on the NHS so we went private again to get results quickly).
The results came back at 137,000 which ties up with being around 7 weeks pregnant which gave us some hope that maybe we just weren't as far along as we initially thought.
We had our appointment at the Early Pregnancy Unit 2 days after the first scan and bloods were taken and the sonographer who did the internal said she agreed with the first set of results and that we have had a MMC - devastating.
Because only 2 days had passed between scans, I'm worried that not enough time was given to allow for change, so was hoping they would offer a final scan before the surgery tomorrow just in case? xx
