No baby on early scan

So today I went for an early scan…I’m 6+1. They identified a sac but unfortunately no baby. They said this could either mean a miscarriage or im just too early to see anything. I’ve lost all hope of a viable pregnancy at this stage, has anyone been in similar situations?

This is my second pregnancy. First went well.

Hello Ellie I went what I thought at 6 weeks and there was just yolk sac there and small fetal pole . They couldn’t say whether pregnancy was viable or not . First scan was private and then I was referred to EPAU and they scanned 3 days later and there was change but they said I was under 6 weeks so they weren’t concerned about no heart beat. I am back tomorrow 12 days later so praying hoping for the best. Don’t lose hope yet you might just be earlier then the 6 weeks 🩷

I’m the same, I thought I was 6+4 but my scan showed 5 weeks and just the gestational sac nothing else. I got back next week to see if anything has changed so I completely get what you are going through.
Wishing you all the luck at your scan x

I’m the same I am 6 weeks 2 days and went to a scan today.
There was a sac and yoke but couldn’t see a heart beat.
It was measuring 14.5mm I thought that sounded big. So I’ve lost hope and I’m nearly 100% it isn’t viable. I’ve got to go have a scan in 14 days. It’s going to be the most agonising wait

Sending all my love. Today has just been heart breaking!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
