5 weeks 2 days!!

I was admitted into hospital yesterday after heavy bleeding in the morning that resolved by itself after an hour or so. Was sent to a hospital over an hour away from my home for an emergency scan. The sac is in the right place, they were worried about ectopic! So measuring at around 5 weeks, but they were not able to see the baby. Has anyone else experienced this? They’ve told me to wait until next week for another scan to see if I’ve miss carried or if baby was just too small to be seen! HCG levels yesterday were 1200+ which has made me hopeful!

I hope everything goes well for you💕

Thank you🫶🏼

I’ve read quite a lot about how small a baby is at 5 weeks and often can’t see it on a scan. That’s why the private early scan places start from 6 weeks and some don’t even start until 8 weeks.
Try your best not to worry I know must be hard. What did the people at the scan say? Seems like they’re not worried if they’ve booked you in for a weeks time.

They said they are unsure if I have miscarried or not, if I experience further bleeding I have a bed ready on the Ward. If no further bleeding then continue as normal and wait for scan next week.. the sac is in the correct place so definitely not ectopic so not very much they could do for me. Just a waiting game now, all depends on whether I bleed further or not. Trying to stay positive

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.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

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.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Labour

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.
