6w3d Early private scan

Hi. Acording to the last mestruation date I am 6w3d pregnant and we went to the private scan but all they could see was a baby sack and no clearly visible baby they did not check for heartbeat. They said to come back for another scan in 2 weeks time. Shoul I be worried? Or is it normal? Putting photo of the scan down. Thanks for every answer. And some more in comment.

Did you have strong hcg tests?

Avatar

I did not do for couple of days now but about a 4 or 5 days ago I did have very strong lines. I ordered same tests will come tomorrow so I will check again tomorrow. I am beginning to worry... the sonographer said that it might be very early at some angles she said there might be baby to be seen but it is probably very early days and the baby might be stick to the side of the baby sack so that is why it was not clearly visible... but she was not sure. So now I am worried... well this 2 weeks wait for another scan will be torture for me.🙄🙄

🙏 if you have good hcg tests and no worrying symptoms that should be just that! And hopefully all is well on the next screening x

This is a very good line progression xx how are you feeling? Any symptoms?

Since the very beginning I was feeling nauseous. Which was only getting worse. Then since last week Saturday I suffered nonstop with a stomach pain and still nausea. Which last until now only today that stomach pain was much improved... but other than that no other problems, no pain in my lower abdomen, no bleeding or discharge, so hopefully everything is okay and the baby will be there in 2 weeks time...🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I had the thing, a scan around 6 weeks all they saw was the sac and yolk sac but no heartbeat or anything and I went back 2 weeks later and I was measuring exactly what I thought and pregnancy was fine x

Yeah normally week 8 onwards it’s best to take scanning to see visible baby

Thank you for your a good experience sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻. It would our very wanted 2nd baby and I wish everything would be okay but by 6w3d which means I am in the 7th week of pregnancy, right? I was expecting to see at least a little peanut 😊... and a heartbeat. But I guess it might be younger that the dates say... cannot wait for that next scan 😊😊

I think you can sometimes ovulate abit later than you think and also the baby is still so small at this stage so can easily be missed. Did you have a trans vaginal scan or abdominal? Sending you good luck x

Avatar

Did they do an external or internal scan ? I’ve had ivf and our clinic scan at 6 weeks and after to detect a heart nest but this is done as an internal scan xx

Avatar

They did both external and internal scans.

I’m sorry I had this happen to me and it wasn’t good news, I had a blighted ovum.

I had strong pregnancy tests as well - this is not a good indicator for how viable a pregnancy is past 5 weeks gestation.

However, you could have ovulated later than you think? Wishing you luck x

Avatar

I am sorry for your experience. I am still hoping maybe the ovulation came two or three days later than I thought and therefore it might be couple days younger... hopefuly... this waiting is killing me.🙄

Avatar

did you have any bad symptoms that something is not okay by over 6 weeks pregnant? Because I do have pregnancy symptoms (nausea, very sore breasts...) and nothing to be a sign that the pregnancy should not be progressing... did you have it same and then it went wrong later? Sorry to ask this, maybe it is sensitive for you but I am just trying to get some more info.❤️❤️

Avatar

Yes, I didn’t have many pregnancy symptoms and I had pale pink spotting.
Fingers crossed for you x

Avatar

Hopefully everything is ok!!

I’m just mindful that pregnancy tests do not determine how viable a pregnancy is, and after 6 weeks a scan is far more accurate x

Avatar

I know. Thank you ❤️. We have decided to book early scan with different provider for tomorrow as they might have maybe more sensitive machines or more patient sonographer who will look longer for something in there. As I felt like it was rushed, she said she can see something coming up on one side of the sack but it was not clear and she did not look longer. The whole scan took hardly 10 minutes. I could swear I saw some flickering in one spot and she pointed it out that it might be the developing baby but probably too soon to see... 😭 I will put picture below of the structure she pointed out to me but did not inspect further..

Keep us updated. Good luck x

I am very. I mean you keep worrying until the baby is born and then you worry for rest of your life, but at least for the moment I am a bit relaxed and less worried.🤣❤️❤️❤️

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.

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.
