Scan at 5 weeks 4 days help!

I’ve had a reassurance scan today as have had previous losses but only a sac and yolk could be seen…
The lady was quite harsh and just rebooked me for 2 weeks time

Googling seems to say this is right until the 6 week mark?!

Anyone been here before?!

It’s because that early they cannot confirm viability. I’d never recommend a scan before 8 weeks for this reason as they can cause more stress than they alleviate!

It seems very normal for the stage you’re at and fingers crossed in two weeks you’ll have a lovely baby looking back at you through the screen x

I had a scan at 5 weeks and couldn’t see much at all and then at 6weeks+1 and could only see the gestational sack and yolk sack, the lady who scanned me said it’s normal for how early you are but since mine had changed since the last scan they could see that growth is happening.

Try not to worry to much and I’d definitely wait for your next scan or see if you can get another scan in a week instead of 2 if your really worried x

Hi, we had an early scan at 5 weeks 6 days and the yolk and sac could be seen and was told the same to be scanned in 2 weeks. We booked a private scan for 6 weeks 4 days as I couldn’t wait that long and baby had changed and developed and we seen the heart beat xx

Ideal party time? (Help please)

I am trying to plan my daughter’s birthday party for when she turns 2. The play area I want to book offers 1 hour 45 min slots at either 13:30 or 15:45. There will be children mainly around the age of 2, but others ages 1-3 as well. I know nap times will vary, and most live less than 30 mins away. Which time do you all think sounds preferable?

Positive induction stories

Hi everyone! I’m currently 37+2 and getting induced in 2 days time due to recurrent reduced fetal movement. Hoping to hear some positive induction stories of anyone who’s gone through it before? I was hoping to be able to go naturally before then, but midwife couldn’t do a sweep today as not even 1cm 😭

How are you getting on with your partner?

I feel at constant loggerheads at the moment, all we do is argue and get angry each other. It’s completely down to sleep deprivation and stress but this doesn’t make it any easier when thinking about it. Just want things to go back to normal.

Wait between 12 and 20 week scan

Hi ladies, I’ve had my 12 weeks scan and all looked ok. I don’t know how I’m going to manage 8 weeks without a scan?! I’ve already had a lot of anxiety from this pregnancy as it’s been a really difficult journey. How do you guys manage and get reassurance that baby is ok? Any advice would be appreciated! Xx
