You’re probably less than 5 weeks and more like 4 x

I went for an early scan where I thought I was 6+5 and no fetal pole or baby just yolk sac, the ultrasound tech thought I had a missed miscarriage and referred me to the epu. Went for a scan there a week later resigned to there being no baby and there was a baby and a heartbeat! ❤️❤️❤️

doctor and my flo app is telling me i am 6 weeks but how to calculate because my last periods started on 27th march and ends on 30th march

wow ♥️ how many weeks you were at that time of heartbeat?

Avatar

your cycle can change at any point and until your around 11-12 weeks there’s no way of accurately dating until around then my flow app was wrong too it had me a week a head of what I actually was plus it all depends on exactly how long your cycle was and when you ovulated

Avatar

that right and i am hoping my flo app is wrong too and i am too early not 5 weeks and 5 days . May be i should go for another scan after 2 or 3 weeks ?

Avatar

yeah that is probably best as I had my first scan around 6/7 weeks and there was a fetal pole, that’s why most places don’t recommend having a scan before 6 weeks x

I was about 6+5 from measurements they took. I Must have ovulated later and it was just too early at the first scan as they changed my dates. I know it is terrifying and I spent lots of time crying fearing the worst but please try to stay positive it could just be too early for the heartbeat. Have they booked you in for a rescan? ❤️ Sending you lots of love

sorry i am taking your time but last question please 🙏. As you say may be my flo app is wrong then how i am gonna estimate that now i am 7 weeks pregnant and should go for scan. ?

you are right . I did it and it says i am 5 weeks and my app says i am 6 weeks today.

Avatar

but still is it normal that my gestational sac was empty like no fetal or yolk sac

Avatar

yes possibly my doctor will send me again after 2 weeks . I am having high hops thanks xx

I think it all just depends on baby they all develop at there own pace my first was a Tiny little dot when I was pregnant but my second baby is a lot bigger x

Happened to me, went back at 7 weeks and saw the heartbeat

Avatar

I was suppose to be 6 weeks when I went for my first scan coming from my last menstrual period but we saw nothing in my uterus not even a sac and it just so happened I was less then 5 weeks I’m now 13 weeks pregnant take a clear blue digital weeks indicator if it says 2-3 weeks then your 4-5 weeks pregnant if it’s 1-2 weeks then your less then 4 weeks pregnant and if it’s 3+ then your more then 5 weeks

My doc saw a pole at 5 weeks 3 days but he said ‘this is probably what’s going to turn into your baby’, was hardly visible at all but there was a yolk sac

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

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?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
