Hi everyone... all advice welcome!
Currently 10 weeks pregnant and have had 3 scans. All ‘perfectly normal’, confirmed each time by the Sonographer. The last scan was at 8 weeks and confirmed heartbeat.
Was sent a letter for my 12 week scan which would have been around the 16 week mark. I queried this with the MW who instructed me to call the hospital as this was too late.
On calling the hospital advised me that the last scan dated me as 5+ weeks preg - not possible!!! They refused to change the date as ‘dates can be wrong’ and that’s what the last scan had showed but I just had that feeling (plus been tracking EVERYTHING for the last 12 months so couldn’t possibly be out that much on dates).
Went for a private scan which showed baby at only 5w 6d with slow heart pulsation. Dire news.
Contacted hospital who have asked me to wait 5 days for a scan.
I’m so sad.
Why did the Sonographer not advise me that the preg was behind where I thought I was?? Those few weeks plus seeing the heart rate at what I thought was 8 weeks made me believe my chance of MC had all but passed.
The preg scan at 6 weeks dated me at 5 weeks...I couldn’t possibly have been 5 weeks preg. I’d also had 2 scans prior to the 8 week scan...impossible to have been 5 weeks after 3 weeks worth of scans.
Now facing my 4th MC in 12 months at a loss what to do now. Can’t face flushing another baby away and fear the MW willsend me home to wait for natural MC.
All pregs lost at 5/6 weeks though two have lasted until 10.5 weeks.
I was on progesterone from 6 weeks this time but doesn’t seem to have helped.
Any advice ladies
Sorry for the ramble!
Xxxxx
