In limbo. So sad.

I'm 8+3 weeks pregnant, have one DS. Had two early losses since him and one before him. I am 100% sure of dates, it is possible for me to be 2-3 days off at most but not more than that. Because of my previous early losses and some spotting the EPU scanned me at 5+5. A gestational sac and yolk sac were seen but no foetal pole which I was told was within normal so we walked away from that scan feeling cautiously optimistic (as with previous losses there was nothing but a thickened womb lining). Was told to come back in 2 weeks and hopefully things would have developed. Since my early minor spotting I've had no bleeding and no cramps. That scan follow up happened today and unfortunately it was not good. There is a small embryo measuring 3.5-4mm and a faint heartbeat. This is way behind where I should be and obviously very slow growth from before. I have been told to expect a miscarriage but as the heart is beating they won't do anything yet.

I have to go back in another week. I can't stand this. The limbo is just awful.

I am so sorry 💐. For the next week, send that little beating sac all of your love and joy and affection. Picture the days of it’s life, the milestones, the little joys. Whatever happens, that baby will know it is very much loved and wanted. We can’t control the future but you can control how much love you give it right now.

Have no words of wisdom but couldn’t read and run.

I can totally understand how sad you’re feeling. I’m sorry the news wasn’t better. As PP said, send your love to your baby and spend your time dreaming what could be.

Take care.

Thank you. It's so awful waiting for the heart to inevitably stop beating.
