7 weeks 1 day, weak heartbeat

Hello everyone, I am 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant (or I was). I had a scan at EPU this morning and they said the embryo is measuring 5w6days and falling behind on the measurement. They also said they can see weak heartbeat and that they would expect a lot of flashing on the monitor at this stage. They told me the pregnancy is slowing down and to expect the worse. But they left it to “God” (quote) to do its job and booked me for another scan in one week. They said it is not what they expected to see at this stage. I am having mild cramping since the begging of the pregnancy but all the usual symptoms are present, e.g. fatigue, sickness, shortness of breath, occasional hot flashes, tender breasts… Has anyone had similar experience? Please share anything, good or bad, I am really desperate… Thank you.

I haven't but didn't want to read and run. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I've had this twice and afraid neither was a good outcome, sorry. A slow heartbeat is normally a bad sign at that gestation. It doesn't mean it will definitely be bad, but best to be prepared xx

Were you at the epu due to bleeding op? I hope you get a good outcome but if I were you I may prepare for the worst, I'm sorry 💐

Hi WhatMe123, I was referred to EPU since the beginning of pregnancy because of constant cramps, period-like. We’ve been TTC for 2 years and DH had to take some vitamins which finally helped us and we got our BFP. I am 37.

I just want to update the post in case anyone is searching and reading in the future. I had 8w1d scan this morning and it showed missed miscarriage.

Hey am so sorry, am going through something similar but no heart beat at 6+2 back on Monday for another scan. Really sorry to ask, how long until the mc happened or did you need help to bring it on? So sorry for asking am clutching at straws here xxx
