Early scan🙃

Well had the scan, they said there’s a yolk sac and it does look like a pregnancy but it’s more like 5 weeks rather than the 7 weeks that I was expecting so they’ve booked me in again in 3 and a half weeks to see if they can see something because at the moment they said it’s too early and they can’t really see anything, is this normal? I’m now overthinking everything🫢

This is totally normal if you ovulate later.

I always have to adjust my dates to ovulation +2 weeks rather then. Rather them my period dates.

Defo normal, I went almost 2 weeks ago and they said i was *just* 5 weeks and only the gestational sac could be seen, nothing else. I was supposed to be 6w 5 days then. I panicked for weeks, went back yesterday and im 7 weeks 6 now, all healthy, she a heartbeat ect <3 try not to worry! Until they get bigger, the dates are a very rough estimate! And in 3 and a half weeks you should see plenty. Wishing you luck 🥰

Absolutely normal!
Why do the doctrrs tell us to date it back to cycle date!

I am 1 week earlier than my cycle dates.

I had a scan at 5 weeks, saw a sac, had a scan at 6+3 weeks and saw baby. 8 weeks saw a heart beat. But I am 10 weeks past my period but baby only 9 weeks now.

I know its impossible, but try relax a tiny bit? Alsokeep chatting to everyone. We are all in the same boat lovely and all happy to chat x

This was interesting to read through. I have an early scan on Monday. I will be 10+4 so I am interested in knowing what the scan will show and what will be said.

Trying to just be positive, my dads phoned me and seems abit knocked back because of my previous miscarriage he’s been worried about today’s findings even after telling him, he was abit like “right okay what does that mean, well aslongs you’re alright and don’t feel upset by it” but I can tell he’s kind of worried xx

Anyone awake?

Any moms awake at this hour? I’ve been really starting to feel the isolation from having my baby these last 6-12 months.

Induction due to preeclampsia

Hi ladies! So I’m 33 + 5 and I’m currently spiralling with panic!! I’ve recently (in the past 2 weeks) had high blood pressure readings at home and went to triage a few times but it typically levelled out. Last time I went to triage earlier this week, they ended up prescribing labetalol.

at the same time, we’d been having our growth scans and baby girl was always on the small side, she was steadily sitting around 13th percentile but then went down to 9th so had to have 2 weekly growth scans.

At the most recent growth scan this week, they said she’s actually dropped some more and is now 2nd percentile. They also did the placental growth factor where they took bloods and they came out slightly lower so consultant suggested they will just treat me as having preeclampsia despite my urine being clean and only having headaches but no other symptoms! I’m now being told that if she doesn’t pick up weight by the next scan then they would not feel
Comfortable letting me go past 37 + 6 weeks so I’d likely need to be induced.

I really don’t know how to feel about this, especially where I had a whole birth plan etc but equally I want whatever’s safest for baby girl! Anyone been through anything similar and can offer comfort?

Induction at 37 weeks

My doctor told me I will have to be induced at 37 weeks. What should I do to prepare for labor ? Worried because I had hoped for a birth without intervention.

Is it hard to read when people post without any punctuation?

Sometimes people write the longest paragraphs with zero...I mean zero punctuation. It is so hard for me to make sense of what is going on. Im not expecting perfect grammer, but some periods here and there would be so helpful 😅
