Early pregnancy scan

Hi. I think I just need to talk this out as I feel so lost and anxious. I am currently in my 4th pregnancy, 2 miscarriages and 1 ectopic. I am suppose to be at my 8th week but personally I don't think it's looking great. I had bleeding which I thought was my period for about 3 days then it stopped (around about the 3rd week) then I took a test just in case and got a positive pregnancy test. Because of my history of ectopic, I was referred to the early pregnancy unit at 6 weeks. Had a scan, saw the sac, but cannot see anything else - possibly they said, might be a bit too early. So went back 2 weeks later. Then the second scan, sac has become larger than before,and can see a tiny tiny baby but measuring around 5 to 6 weeks old. There was also a tiny "flutter" but they said they can't be certain if its the baby's or mine. I am just concerned that this is not looking good. My previous pregnancy before this is we lost the heart beat at around 7 to 8 weeks but we only found out at my 12 week scan. I am just super worried. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I’m sorry for your losses Flowers I know there is nothing anyone can say to reassure you and ease the worry. I hope when you have your next scan things look more positive for you. When is you next scan?

I know how worrying it is. I'd scan again, privately. It is impossible to wait in these situations.
I'm having a scan myself on Friday and cannot stop thinking it can be bad news.

@NeverWornACropTop Thank you, next scan is next week and I can't help but feel so scared and nervous. I do hope by some miracle it's ok, but I don't want to keep my hopes up too much either.

@NinNinJin Yeah I was thinking that too. The next scan is next Tuesday and was also wondering if I would just wait it out, but as you said, its impossible to wait! I really hope everything goes well for you on Friday. How far along are you?

Oh Tuesday is soon. But yet still some waiting. I can never just relax, this week has been the longest ever. So totally understand. Hope it works out for you and there is a good progress on your next scan!

I will be 7w1d. And I don't have any symptoms. I know most would say it doesn't matter. Too early. But with both my kids I was vomiting by then. And when I didn't have any sickness it was a blighted ovum.

@NinNinJin That's true, so hard to relax. It's definitely a nerve-wracking time, especially with the differences in symptoms from previous experiences. I find myself comparing this pregnancy from my others and feeling that something is not right.
Thank you, I do hope it works out for both of us and I'm wishing you the best for Friday
