Miscarriage?

[BigTWDFan]

Just come back from an early emergancy scan, as i had some bleeding.
I should be 9 week but midwife said i'm just under 6 week and could only see if sac and yolk. She did a scan and an internal scan. She said i have to come back in 2 week for another scan as this baby could be a slow developer or a miscarriage. No idea what to do with myself, feel so alone and that this is all my fault.
Is there any hope for my baby at all?...

Sorry you've had no reply, I don't have any experience but hope all is well for you.

Just wanted to say it is absolutely not your fault and nothing you have done has caused this. Please believe this. I’m sorry you are going through this. I have no experience of this so can’t say either way what the likely outcome will be (I have had a miscarriage but it was heavy bleeding and very early on so a scan wouldn’t have shown anything anyway). A miscarriage is hard enough without being in limbo for 2 weeks. x

Please don't blame yourself. It's highly unlikely you have done anything wrong as most miscarriages can't be avoided.

Are you still bleeding now? Are you in any pain?

If you're sure of your dates then it does sound like a possible miscarriage. :( It's not a certainty so try not to worry yet - this is why they are giving you another scan, because it's too early to know. They will check if the baby has grown any further. If it hasn't, that means it naturally stopped growing at a certain point and this is usually because of a problem with its chromosomes, not anything that you have done.

There is a chance the baby will be ok if you have your dates wrong or if you ovulated later than normal, but as you are bleeding and the baby is measuring small you need to be prepared for the worst. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I've been through it myself and I know it is the last thing you want to hear.

Do you have a partner or friends / family you can talk to? x

I'm sorry you are going through this.

This happened to me and I'm sorry to say it wasn't a viable pregnancy. I was scanned again after 2 weeks and there were no changes, still just the sac and yolk. I opted to wait a further week, not because I thought they were wrong, but because I wanted it to pass naturally. Nothing happened though so I had to have a D&C. Not that it's called that these days.

If you are sure of your dates, I would have to say that it doesn't sound good. Sending

Thank you everyone, my family and husband keep telling me to have hope, as it was spotting and that one day of less than half a pad blood. Had no blood today, but constantly checking. No one tells you just how much it hurts... just don't know what to do with myself. Two weeks is going to feel like a lifetime

Hi @BigTWDFan

Sorry to hear what your going through.

I am currently going through miscarriage after an early scan only showed an empty sac when i should have been 8 weeks.

Any updates on how you've been feeling? When's your re-scan?

Sending

Sorry, been meaning to update but everything as been like a nightmare.
Long story short, went back to hospital twice after that, the last time i went was last Friday which i think was the 4th (was meant to have a scan today) turns out my womb lining is thining and baby is getting smaller... so a miscarriage, been awful since then, in pain, and bleeding been bad etc

Take care of yourself OP, I don't think anyone can truly understand how awful a mc is until they have been through it, I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy. Take as much time out as you need and it sounds like a cliche but it will stop hurting quite so much eventually.

Doesn't help with my immune system, full on cold, cough... just wish i could have said goodbye and had a funeral so something. I wouldn't wish it on anyone either. Always believed that once you find out your pregnant, then thats your child, a living being. To know that baby is no more and with no name is really making it all hard for me

I am so sorry OP, I have also had early losses and it is awful. Please be assured that you did nothing to cause this, most miscarriages are believed to be because baby wasn't developing correctly. I bought myself a little necklace to wear for my lost babies to be. Be kind to yourself x
