No fetal pole detected at 6+4 scan

Early scan detected two gestational sacs (twins) with yolk sacs in but no fetal poles in either. One sac is 7.9mm and one was 3.5mm.

They said it may be too early to see the fetal pole if my dates are wrong so I have to go for rescan in 14 days.

I’m quite anxious and have period type pains.

Any and all advice welcome 🤍

I wish I had advice, I can only say you’re not alone. I’m in a similar position but no twins. Finding the waiting game agony. I have had cramping/abdominal pain but no bleeding.

Hey it’s so tough! I went for an early scan when I thought I was 7 weeks…went and they only saw a yolk sac with no fetal pole and asked me to come back in 2 weeks to which I assumed the worst BUT they were only measuring me as 5 weeks 3 days instead. I went back this week and I’m now measuring 7 and they saw a heartbeat 🙂 so it absolutely very possible that you’re just a bit behind than you thought, hope this help and gives some positive vibes! Sending all the love and congratulations 🫶🏻

I went at what I thought was 5+5 they couldn’t see anything (barely a sac) went back two weeks later and I was 6+4 and had everything & heart beat I’m now 7+4 :) waiting for another scan in 2 weeks due to missed miscarriage last year x

I had this last time, I was only 5+5 but I was suppsed to be 7+, I didn’t bother going back and just waited for my nhs scan and everything was fine, he’s 11 months now

I can’t really advise but I went for an early scan, thought I was 7 weeks but was earlier, and the gestational sac measured 14mm. We could JUST see a fetal pole measuring 2.4mm but it was TINY. You may just be earlier than you thought! Fingers crossed for you x

Had my follow-up scan and unfortunately it wasn’t great news. The gestational sac has grown to 21mm and there is a fetal pole of 2.8mm with a very sluggish heartbeat. There is also bleeding within the sac.

Baby is measuring under 6 weeks which doesn’t add up to my dates at all 🥺

I’m so sorry to hear this. I am in the exact same boat, also 2 sacs. According to lmp I should be 9 weeks but had a follow up scan today. Measuring 5w6d and still no fetal pole. I’m so hoping it’s just too early to see.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
