Empty Gestational Sac

Has anyone had it at their 6 week scan, that all can be seen is an empty gestational sac, but it’s good news at a scan the week after!?? Feeling completely deflated, am I silly to hold out hope?

This is mean, got all the feelings, just missing the baby 😞

This isn’t exactly what’s happening to me right now but you’re not alone. At my first scan my clinic couldn’t see anything. They had me come back a week later and saw the gestational sac and fetal pole. Then had me come back this week and it barely grew 😭 heart rate was 88 bpm but it should be above 100 by now. They told me to prepare to miscarry, something’s not forming right. I go back next week to confirm. It’s just such crap for us to go through all this pain. We get the positive test, symptoms, etc. and it’s still not right. I’m sorry. 😞

Yeah this happened to me! The first scan they saw nothing and suspected an ectopic pregnancy, the second they saw and empty sack. By 7 weeks they saw a little heart beat xx

I’m so pleased you got your heartbeat by 7 weeks!!!

I’m so sorry something similar is happened to you! It really is awful! I wish you all the luck for the future! X

Hi lovely! So sorry you're going through this. It's hell!! I had 4 consecutive miscarriages in 2021. Three of which were empty gestational sacs. However, when I had my second child last year, I went for the early scan & the sac was completely empty. Went back 2 weeks later & there he was. So do not lose hope, everyone's different & even if you're a few days out, you may not show on the scan yet 🤞🏻 keeping everything crossed for you xxx

wow. That’s giving me all the hope! Thank you so much for your reply! Was this with a frozen embryo transfer? Congratulations! X

Pregnancy after c section

I need advice I had a c section and my baby now is 7 months. We definitely want a second one, just not sure when it is safe to plan the second one. I would like a natural birth because we want more than two.
And I know for sure if the second one would be a c section then that's it, no more

Partner spending birthday with friends

Instead of with me and our 1 year old, is this weird ?

Suitable for a wedding?

I’ve ordered this dress for a wedding. Is it ok as it has some white on?

Is morning sickness worst with boys or girls ?

When I had my daughter in 2022 I thought my life was coming to an end cause of morning sickness. I couldn’t even get out of bed let alone sit up straight.

Idk what I’m having as of yet but the morning sickness is not as bad as it was with my daughter but it’s still whooping me on some days

Braxton Hicks

Does anyone else get fairly frequent braxton hicks. I’ve been getting them so much today and it’s starting to get really annoying/uncomfortable.

It’s definitely not contractions and I’ve been checked out at the hospital. Just wondered how often other people were getting them?

Is this dress yes or a no?

We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in July and 13 of those days we are on a cruise. There is a bunch of formal nights and formal events and for some of them I’m doing a 80’s glam theme. I already got the dresses for those but I’m looking for some fun and fancy dresses that aren’t vintage also. I’ve been eyeing this particular dress for MONTHS. I kind of love it, but I think it might also be too weird 😆. What do you think?
