So my dates were right, I'm 9+6 today according to the scan, which is spot on my dates and only one baby in there. So I have not skipped 4 weeks of worry! I just must have a very easy to feel uterus and easy to find heartbeat! Heard the heartbeat which was 175 and everything looked as it should do, so that was pretty exciting, but baby just looks like a jelly bean with tiny little arms/legs. Was the quickest £100 I've ever spent, was in there 5 mins! Oh well. I'd have spent the next 2 weeks worrying, as couldn't get my NHS booking appt until 14th March (which requires coming home early from holiday), and scan would have been booked at this point, so could have been a really long wait and worry about thinking I'm 16+ weeks!
Re MMC, the statistics are 1-2% at 12 weeks, so it really isn't that common. I suspect the sonographer meant that 40% of people coming in to be scanned are miscarrying, which when you think about it, there are probably a lot attending very early on and repeatedly with bleeding, so that may well be the case slightly exaggerated. Statistically, most miscarriages happen before the woman even realises she is pregnant, or in the first couple of weeks after a missed period. Once you get to 8 weeks, the risk is significantly reduced, and with each week the risk reduces. So to miscarry this late, whilst possible, is much less common, and poor broody has been very unlucky.
Congratulations on the happy scans! Welcome newcomers!
The nausea and symptoms have returned. Had a terrible headache all day yesterday and as I had the day off, I spent half of it sleeping! I think the symptoms are just fluctuating. I hope none of you are suffering too badly.
