So I had to have an early scan yesterday as I had some spotting/bleeding.
I had a internal scan as well as external, the sonographer had said she could see it external but wasn’t as clear!
During the internal, I was reassured that the spotting/bleeding wasn’t anything to be concerned about and I just have a few haematomas and that it’s really very common, she showed me the pockets on the scan and in a strange sense I feel relieved after seeing them!
However I’ve also been left very in the dark as she told me that I’m either earlier on that I thought or that the fetus has actually stopped growing. She said that she couldn’t really tell me that this point and would have to book me in again in 10 days. Explained that if in 10 days it was still the same, no heartbeat and no growth, she’d have to terminate the pregnancy, obviously this was a complete and utter shock to me!
She tried to explain that as I had not long come off the pill and had only had one proper period after coming off that I could have in fact just ovulated a lot later than normal and this could result in it only measuring around 6 weeks as supposed to 8 but I just don’t feel very reassured.
Has anyone else had this experience? I’m really trying not to worry and just hoping she’s right, I am just earlier but it just feels as though my whole life has been turned upside down right now!
