Baby is measuring small

Hi, I am hoping if someone can please give me some advice. I am 6weeks and 5days pregnant. I started spotting 4 days ago on Saturday (Brownish discharge and would go to pinkish colour) and have been getting mild cramps. I had a scan last week and and was dated 5weeks5days. Saw a good strong heartbeat and everything looked good. But since I have been spotting and mild cramping I had talked to my GP who sent me to A&E as the bleeding had been going on for 3 days. There I had another scan done last night where they said the baby was only measuring at about 6 weeks and the heartbeat was 100BPM, not as strong as they would like it to be. So I have to go back in 2 weeks time for another scan. The bleeding is still ongoing, it is lighter than a period but is heavier than spotting and the cramps feel like a period. I am so so upset and I don't know should I be preparing for the worst. I have taken a few days from work and I don't know how I can cope for the next 2 weeks of not knowing.
Please has someone had a similar experience or any advice for me on this?? :-(

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I hope you're okay ❤️ I went through a similar experience back in May. Went for my 12 week scan back but baby was only measuring 9+2 which was a little less than we were expecting. They booked me in for another scan a week later but I lost our baby 2 days after the original scan 😭 I had a d&c (which I know you don't even want to think about but I would recommend) and instantly felt better as no waiting around and no more pain. I'm so sorry that this has happened to you and I hope that things turn around. All my love xx

Thank you for your message, it really means a lot. I lost my baby naturally today, not long after posting this the bleeding became much heavier and the pain was very intense. I can safely say it was the worst experience I have ever gone through. I could visibly see the baby as it passed and I am devastated. I cannot stop crying. I am so upset and I don't know how long it will take before I feel anyway normal again Sad This was my second miscarriage and I hope I never have to go through it again. X

I'm so sorry @Hopefull123 it's the worst thing you can go through and I am sending all my love. Don't push yourself. I'm still not right 9 weeks on. Allow yourself to heal. Please take care xxx

My heart really goes out to you. This is the worst bit, if you can make it through the next few days I promise you, you will be ok. It's so cruel and unfair, especially as it's not your first. When you feel up to it I would go back to your GP and ask for some basic tests although you may get some pushback for the specialist ones I found my GP incredibly supportive and willing to help. Take care of yourself Thanks

So sorry you're going through this. I had a 2nd miscarriage 5 weeks ago and I still struggle some days which is fine. Take some time for yourself.

Thank you guys for your messages, it really means a lot Flowers I have spoken to close friends but all I keep hearing is how it wasn't my time. And maybe it wasn't but I just don't know how to feel. I have cried and cried and now just feel so numb. I am so glad I posted this and am hearing from people who have been in similar situations, makes me feel not so alone Flowers And I am so sorry this has happened to you guys also, it is such an awful thing to go through xx
