SMM booked for Tuesday

4 replies

I feel so sad that my baby hasn’t passed naturally yet.
It’ll be 2 weeks on Tuesday since I had my scan (I was 7 weeks 2 days, by my calc. But Hosp said it was measuring 6weeks 4 days, I think).

I can’t stop thinking, what if there is a hb now and it was just too early before?
I mentioned this to nurse when I called to book SMM earlier and she said she’d check my notes. She did and then said, we wouldn’t re scan as we would expect to see hb at what I was measuring.

Tbh I don’t feel tired, nauseous and no sore boobs anymore. But I am feeling odd flutters and twinges.
But still can’t stop thinking ‘what if’..

Tell me the nurse is right...

SMM is Surgical Management of Miscarriage btw. New same for ERPC or D/C

Sorry for your loss. I have had two ERPC and they rescanned me before each of them.

I’m very sorry you are going through this. When I had my MMC it was policy to scan again prior to the ERPC. I am in Ireland but I can’t imagine it’s any different in the UK. There was no doubt in my case - there was a HB and then two further scans showed a slow HB but little growth and then neither HB nor growth. But a consultant had to scan prior to the procedure.

Thank you for your replies.
I just called the Hosp back after reading your comments and they’ve booked me in to re scan on Monday.

I need peace of mind. I didn’t see the last scan myself so wouldn’t have been able to rest without the re scan x
