Slow heart rate and measuring small

So I’ve read lots of things and I know it’s pretty much over but I can’t help but have those niggling questions and slither of hope 😭

Had a scan yesterday at early pregnancy unit 2 weeks after last one and a week after a private one we had in between.
They basically said there hasn't been enough growth and heart beat is slow so I will miscarry.
First scan measured 1.5mm
Private scan slow heartbeat 4mm
2nd nhs one slow heartbeat 4mm

I can’t help wondering if they measured at a funny angle at the scan yesterday as this happened at the private one until she moved about a bit and then it basically doubled in size. Has this ever happened to anyone?

I know the heartbeat being slow is still bad though and I’m grasping at straws.
I woke up this morning just in denial and couldn’t believe I am pregnant right now but soon won’t be 😭

Thanks for reading

I’m sorry, I’ve not been in that situation myself but just wanted to say hugs and a hand hold Flowers

I’m so sorry
I was in the same position last year and it unfortunately didn’t end well
The growth stopped at 6w and despite weekly scans afterwards, we didn’t get any growth, and the heartbeat slowed down until I eventually miscarried at 9w

Sending unMN hugs Flowers

I'm so sorry OPFlowers I've been through this and I think it's better to prepare for the worst. Take very good care of yourself.

Thanks everyone. At least at the private scan I have booked next week I will get a good look at things and be able to accept it more. That’s if it’s still there at that point xx sorry you’ve been through it as well, it’s so heartbreaking :(
