Miscarriage, Pregnancy lost & Child loss

Blighted ovum success stories?

Hi all! I am approx 8 weeks pregnant and spotted a few days ago which prompted an initial trans abdominal scan. Much to our dismay this showed an empty gestational sac 😓 measuring about 7w6days (30mm). I’ve been told to await a natural miscarriage. The spotting has now stopped however. I suffer from PCOS and hence irregular cycles and wonder if I need a follow up scan at all? Should this be a transvaginal scan or is a trans abdominal enough at this stage? I also have a retroverted uterus.

You should definitely have a follow-up scan. Mine was arranged for 2 weeks later

If they don't offer you a follow up scan and you don't start bleeding, I would definitely push for a scan in 2 weeks. Keep an eye on how you're feeling too, any bad nausea and you should call earlier!

how far along were you when you had your first scan?

You should definitely be having a scan after 2 weeks to make sure you’ve passed everything. Anything left behind can cause an infection and make you really poorly. My second scan was internal, my understanding is there’s not enough to be able to see it externally. I’m so sorry you’re going through this 💔

i was 7 weeks when i had my first and they wanted to check in two weeks in case my dates were just wrong

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
