So today I went to what should have been an exciting gender reveal scan to find out blue/pink but instead ended in heart break.

i attended a private scan and after only having a scan 2 weeks ago to check for downs etc (which all came back low chance along with bloods) and everything was perfect, today the sonography struggled to locate the baby it was tucked down low, we couldn’t see much as all seemed blurry, he said baby was curled which didn’t look good, couldn’t locate a heart beat but kept saying I’m not sure if it’s a faint one - on the grey line they show - and then also said the head looked “lemon shaped” as a posed to round and would indicate a syndrome... Yet two weeks ago it was round and mo syndrome or abnormalities detected.

He advised to contact my midwife in the morning for an urgent referral and check of bloods and rescan. He said it looks as though the pregnancy has recently ended. I came away in tears. My 9 Year old LG was heartbroken and my 3 year old LB was bewildered.

i am 41 and this was a surprise baby but a very welcome surprise, i feel like i have just got my head round it now it’s being ripped AY.

has anyone has this happen and everything turned out okay and baby was just in a very awkward position?

I have had zero cramping or bleeding and also have a tilted womb. I had early scans due to previous early miscarriages and each scan up until today have been fine.

thanks for your time in reading and sorry for waffling my eyes and head hurt from crying ;(

I've only just read your thread, but I really hope you got a miracle today @Pinkumberella . I can't imagine how awful the wait was for you. If it didn't go the way you were hoping, then I'm sending you lots of love and strength to face the coming days/weeks.

Ohnonotmeagain · 09/12/2024 21:08

This is why I strongly disagree with non medical scans and private scans to look at the baby. Fully qualified sonographers in hospital facilities set up to deal with this kind of thing. It’s always a possibility a scan won’t go well and the support should be there immediately.

also disagree with having young children in scans, it’s a medical procedure.

i really hope you are ok o/p and it’s the lack of training/experience of the private scanner. I hope your children are ok too.
