Hello
Last week I found out I was pregnant with twins my first pregnancy too . I was shocked but over the moon. I thought I was around 7 weeks pregnant and I had a scan at EPU due to my age ( 40 ) and I had some spotting ( found out this was due to blood vessels being on the outside of the cervix and not the inside.). They didn’t tell Me my dates were wrong but I did ask as I was in shock and just looked at the screen! They booked me for another scan 2 weeks later.
This week I booked a private scan . I had booked it a while back. I was around 7 1/2 to 8 weeks give or take a few days according to my dates. At the private scan I had an internal scan and I was told one of the babies had recently died as there was no heart beat. She then let me listen to the other babies heart beat she said it was a good heart beat for 6 weeks 6 days !! I said I am sure I am later. She then also said that the babies yolk sac is swollen and large. 6. 4 mm and the baby is small and only measuring 6 weeks 6 days as well as the gestation sac . She basically told me it is very likely I will lose this baby and to prepare for the worst. As you Can imagine I was a And still am blubbering mess. I have another scan for Monday booked at the EPU where I am expecting the worst . I am trying to stay positive for the sake for the baby still alive but it is so hard. I just thought if it had a good heartbeat surely that is something. I really don’t think I could I have got my dates that wrong otherwise I conceived 4 days before I found I was pregnant. I guess I am just looking for advice or has this happened to anybody else. I know I am clutching at straws but that is all I have at the moment. It is just a rollercoaster of emotions x
