Scan for heartbeat

Morning everyone, I had a scan 2 weeks ago thinking I was 7 weeks but the scanner thinks I wasn't even 6 weeks so referred me back to the hospital 2 weeks later as she couldn't find a heartbeat - well today is D-day and I'll hopefully get to hear my child's heartbeat. In the last two days I have felt rotten so I guess that's a good sign. I've attached a pic of my earlier scan and I'll hopefully (fingers crossed) be able to add another pic later with a heartbeat.

I'll be broken if they can't detect a heartbeat today. To be honest I'm quite nervous!

Good luck! Hope you hear that magical heartbeat x

Just so you know your full name is visible on that scan pic so you may want to get MN to take it down.

I hope you get good news today.

Lovely healthy heartbeat. I'm further than I thought too. I'm 7 +5, the scan is below. I'm so happy :)

Wonderful news and congratulations. Can I ask how you got your early scan, was it private? I am very unsure of my dates so my midwife has taken an educational guess based on a possible conception date but they wont let me have an early scan for dating.

Congratulations. That's fantastic news Smile

AKP79 I got an early test through the hospital, I suffer from anxiety and had previous MC so they scanned me to check dates and put me at ease xxx

Congratulations! I’m having an early scan next week when I should be 6+2/3 for the same reason. Very much hoping i’ll have similar news. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Thank you eastend. It's amazing how quickly they grow over the weeks and seeing their heartbeat makes it seem so real xx
