6+4 and measuring 2.4mm

[Kirstyxo2]

I attended EPU for a scan 10 days ago and measured 5+1 1.4mm I went back today for another scan and was told I was only measuring 2.4mm and she could see a sporadic heartbeat. She said she could have sent me on my way as technically she saw a heartbeat but “with my experience I know how this ends” so to come back in 10 days for another scan but prepare to pass it at home. Just wondering if anyone had experienced something similar.

Oh, how awful that she was so blunt. I had a scan at 6+0 where there was no heartbeat and only yolk sac visible, but the doctor was incredibly kind and honest. He said 6 weeks really is too early to tell, and that the pregnancy may develop and may not. Essentially the same information but delivered in a much kinder manner. I was instructed to come back at 8 weeks, where we found a viable fetus with a strong heatbeat. That may/may not develop is now 8 years old and has had a lovely evening in a stormtrooper costume 😂 I hope all works out similarly well for you.
