Hi all,
Just need to write this down and have a little vent/cry.
I started spotting brown discharge on Friday night, only when I wiped. I have a haematoma (sorry spelling) so I was told to expect blood time to time. No cramps or anything. Went to epu Saturday morning and they couldn’t scan me as the EPAC team wasn’t in but they put me on a triage list to give me a call Sunday. Obviously I couldn’t wait so went and had a private scan later Saturday night.
The scan was abdominal, lasted all of 1-2 minutes and she said baby was measuring 6w5d 7.8mm and couldn’t see a heartbeat. She then told me “sorry baby has passed away” and turned the machine off, no offer to scan me internally. The whole process lasted maybe 5 minutes of walking into the office.
Thing is I had a scan at epu 17 days ago and I was measuring 5-6 weeks at 3mm with a heartbeat, this was an internal scan.
Is it hard to find a heartbeat at this stage using abdominal scans? Or should there definitely be a heartbeat?
I’ve still had some brown discharge (not a lot) and no cramps but EPU rang me this morning and won’t scan me for a week to see if there’s any change then.
Just holding out for a bit of hope I guess... has anyone experienced anything similar? x
