Only yolk sac visible 7 weeks

Had a scan 10 days ago and they said I was showing approximately 5 weeks (should have been 5w4days) no heartbeat visible (gestational sac MSD 8mm) so they scheduled a follow up. We’ve had the follow up today so should be exactly 7 weeks but the gestational sac only has a MSD of 12mm and only the yolk sac was visible. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? Mine is that it’s not developing properly and there’s something wrong, my husband is more optimistic that we’re just not as far along as the LMP would suggest but does that explain the difference between the 2 scans?

You may not be far as you think. When i was pregnant with my first baby i got told i was 6 weeks but no sac or baby was visible. No heart beat at all until i was 10 weeks we finally saw the sac. Dont stress it mama! You may just be wayy to early into the pregnancy

I had this in my first pregnancy and unfortunately miscarried it’s likely due to a developmental error during fertilisation. However, saying that, I’ve also seen people told similar and later had their baby, one woman bled and thought she miscarried and then felt kicks weeks later. so it’s hard to tell before 10ish weeks. Wishing you both the best x

Baby dropping?

Idk if it matters but I feel like my baby has dropped a bit? My pelvis aches more and my bladder seems sensitive/like I have to go more often. So excited now! Also has anyone had a discussion with their midwife or doctor about a membrane sweep? I was curious to ask my midwife some questions about it.

Post c section healing..

I’m not sure if it’s because I went into spontaneous labour before my planned c section or what but has anyone else suffered pain wise post c section? It’s only day 4 but honestly struggling with the pinching/ jolt stabbing pain on the left side of my incision when I move around and sit down. I know it’s only day 4 but people make out c sections are ‘easy’. Also have such horrendous tailbone pain (which could be from where I was having back contractions). I just want to feel back to normal and feel this is slightly taking away the newborn experience plus my toddler has reduced play from me as I can barely function 😩

Going to an event out of town at 35 weeks

I have a friends wedding which is about a 3hr drive away. Is this cutting it too close to due date to be travelling away from hospital? I could try drive there and back in a day. Not sure what the protocol is so any advice would be great.
