Afternoon all,
I unfortunately had a missed miscarriage in April 2024 (that was my first pregnancy). I had no symptoms and only found out at our 12 week appointment. I had an early scan at what I thought was approximately 8 weeks and saw baby with a heart beat measuring at 6+4. Falsely reassured myself I probably just ovulated late or baby was so small at the time may not be easy to measure. But looks like they never progressed further than that. I ended up having 2 failed medical managements and ended up needing a D&C in early May.
thankfully my period came back quickly and I tracked my ovulation after. We got pregnant in that cycle. I had an EPU appointment as I was getting some abdominal pains and they were worried about an ectopic. According to my LMP I should have been 7+2 but baby was measuring 6+2 with a heart beat again. It feels horribly similar to last time I had my missed miscarriage and I pleaded with them to do another scan which I get in 2 weeks as the thought of waiting till my 12 week appointment to go through it again just seems impossible.
I am trying to be hopefully but also prepare myself for the worst again. I would really appreciate any positive stories anyone has of your baby measuring a week behind but catching up! And how to manage this horrible waiting period :(
lots of love ❤️
