Early scan reassurance

I just wanted to give some reassurance in case anyone else was or is in this position, I went for an early scan thinking I was 6 weeks and they only saw the sac & yolk no fetal pole I was advised to wait 2 weeks and come back which we did today and there they were little heart beat too! And I’m measuring 6weeks 3 days so I’m more then a week and half earlier then I thought!!

Girl this is exactly what I’m going through. I went at 6 weeks she saw the sak possible the Yok not 100% sure. Told me to come back in two weeks. I go back on 11/10 and I am terrified. Praying for good results. Thank you for this

It’s completely normal to feel worried and anxious, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. I had a private scan almost every month at the beginning, just for that extra reassurance that everything was okay with baby! Honestly, nothing else seemed to ease my worries.
It does get easier once you start feeling those little movements, as they give you that added reassurance. My little girl is now nearly 3 months old and, despite all the worrying throughout my pregnancy, she’s perfectly healthy ❤️

Thank you for this!
I’ve got my next scan tomorrow at 6 plus 4 so really hoping all is going well as last week at 5 plus 3 they could only see the sac and yolk
Congrats 🥳

Contractions

Need some advice please! Yesterday I had a loose tummy and nausea, was sick once. Today I have woken up to a stitch feeling on the sides of my bump and the top. I’m having irregular contractions. Just had one 90sec one that made me cry. I have laid down to rest but still getting them.. could this be prodromal or real?

Any ideas why i gave birth early?

Just reflecting on my birth, all I can think is why? Why did it happen. So does anyone have an idea of what could have caused it to happen

Here is the birth story:

At 31+5 I had a big bleed. When I got seen at triage they said my cervix was closed and the scan showed my placenta was okay. They kept me in for a few nights till the bleeding stopped and gave me steroid injections.
Then again at 32+3 I had another bleed, more blood this time. Again they couldn’t see why so I was kept in for 3 days till that bleeding stopped

Then at 33 weeks, i had felt pelvic pressure all day. And bad back ache. I took a bath and as I stepped out my waters completely broke. I went into triage and they kept me in again, I wasn’t having contractions. They said they’ll try get me to 37 weeks

Then early hours at 33+2 I started getting contractions, I contracted for 10 hours then my waters started turning green. And my baby’s heart started decelerating at every contraction. So I was taken for an emergency c section. My baby boy was a healthy 5lbs5oz. It was later confirmed that I had caught an infection from my waters breaking, and when they got him out there was little to no fluid left at all which was causing decels.

We spent 11 days in nicu and he’s now 4 weeks old and doing so well!
I just wonder why it happened, why I had a bleed twice and why my water broke so early. With My first baby I was induced at 41 weeks so I never went into labour at all, and he was a chunky 9lbs1oz!😅

Low lying placenta at 20 week scan

I had my 20 week scan today and been told I have a low lying placenta. They want to rescan at 28 weeks to see if it has moved as my uterus gets bigger. If not they want to do an MRI to decide next steps. Has anyone else had this before and what was the outcome?
