Freaking out

[peanutsmummy]

Hi I'm due around the 23rd of July with my first child.

I am freaking out girls because I had to go to hospital with real sharp pains in my stomach 2 weeks ago and they thought I might have been ectopic. They gave me a scan after 4 pregnancy tests and a few blood tests and found that the sac was in the right place but there was no heartbeat. The doctor scanning me made this out to be a really bad thing but the MW called me and said that as I was only 5 weeks at the time then this is normal.

I have another scan on the 23rd of this month and I am sooooo scared there is nothing there

Hey hun, there's a been a few girls on here that have had the same thing only to go back for a 2nd scan and see their bean with a lovely strong heartbeat. 5 weeks is very early to see much so I wouldn't worry too much. The first scan I'm having is my 12 week one in 2 weeks and I'm so scared there'll be a problem or nothing there, I think those feelings are natural. Lots of luck for the 23rd hun xxx

You wont see a heartbeat until 6 weeks plus hunny. Its normal.

I think we all go through them feelings of doubt. I have my next scan in a week I can't wait x I had a quick scan at 8 weeks to check my pregnancy was in there and to do a quick date as I had section previous x Baby was in there very fuzzy looked like a kidney bean with a flashing heartbeat and that was at 7 week 6 days they said. x I was 8 weeks 2 days by my tickers. So expecting dates to change once I have my 12 week one. x

Good luck for the 23rd.

I had an internal scan at 6+ and they warned me then that they might not see a heartbeat. They did but that's only because the heart starts bearing at around 6 weeks. Easier said than done - but try not to worry! Xx

I was in the same position with my first pregnancy. Went for a scan at 5+1 and there was no heartbeat so I had to go back at 7+1 and there was the heartbeat.

Try not to worry (easy to say!) and I hope the next 2 weeks go quickly for you!

Hi there

Same with me; what kind of scan did they do and did they test your hormone levels? I had pains and an ultra sound when I thought I was 6 weeks, they saw nothing and the doctor couldn't have mentioned any more negative possibilities if he had tried!

Went in for an internal and they dated me at only 4 weeks, saw sac and dot but nothing else, went back at 6 weeks and saw tiny bean and a small flicker of the heart beat.

Very easy to say but do try not to worry and fingers crossed the next couple of weeks fly by for you. Xx
