I'm 8+6 today and have been having spotting for the last 2 weeks. I have previously had a missed miscarriage (discovered at 11 weeks), then was lucky enough to have a healthy baby boy, then a miscarriage (at 6 weeks).
The spotting was - and still is - really freaking me out and Last Thursday I was referred to my local EPAU and had a scan. There was a baby there, with a heartbeat but the sonographer said that the sac around baby was smaller than she would expect. She said it may not mean anything and all may be well, or it could be an indicator that something is wrong and that the pregnancy won't be viable. She said she was "sitting on the fence" and I have to go and have another scan this Thursday.
So basically I feel like I am in limbo. I feel like I am simultaneously trying to think positive and look forward but also not get excited and try to mentally prepare for another miscarriage. It's a total head-fuck and i feel like I'm losing my mind. I keep breaking down and sobbing and i don't know what's going on or what to think.
Everything I can find about a small sac seems to indicate that either pregnancy is not as far along as you think - not in my case as sonographer last week said baby was the right size for dates - or that it is an indicator of impending miscarriage.
Sorry that this is so long. I hope it makes some kind of sense. Has anyone else been told this about a small sac? What was the outcome? Any other thoughts/ experiences appreciated. Thank you.
