hi all, had my scan today and it wasn't fun.
I thought I was quite far on, like 10+ weeks but the scan they did at the clinic near me with a portable scan machine could hardly make out a pregnancy sack (thats what she called it) so they asked me to go the antenatal unit in the hospital and they have dated me as 5+6.
becasue I'm sure I haven't had a period in may and I don't think I had one in April, I shoudl be further along than thats (shouldn't I??)
anyway there was talk that maybe I had been pregnant for longer than the 5+6 but that it wasn't progressing.
hubby thinks that it is fine and that I just am not very far along.
registrar also thinks that but because we don't really know about my periods and I was so obviously worried that maybe something wasn't right thay are going to scan me again next tuesday. By then I will be 6+6 and the lady said she will be able to detect a heartbeat by that time.
they have clearly seem the pregnancy sack and the yolk that the baby feeds off till the placenta kicks in but if I am 5+6 and everything is fine then she wouldn't have been anle to get a heartbeat anyway.
but by next week she said that she would be able to, so basically if there is no heartbeat next week then.....
I don't know why I feel so worried, it's not like my periods have ever been regular or that we were counting the days and know for sure when we had sex or when I was last on.
I'm just trying to think, it's all fine and I'm 6 weeks pregnant.
Until the scan says anything different(pray to god that it doesn't) then I'm going to be happy I'm pregnant.
sorry to waffle, it really does help to write it down
