Grrrrrrr...

Sorry to rant, just feeling peed off...

My surgery messed up my midwife appt a couple of weeks ago so I took the afternoon off work and arrived to be told they had made a mistake and they couldn't do my booking appointment. I got really upset as the doc had arranged it specially so that they could get me booked in for my scan - I told the midwife this and she said that my GP shouldn't have said that as they can't get me in early anyway, I have to join the queue, it'll probably be end Jan/beginning Feb before I can be seen...

I got so upset, and the midwife began to realise why I was so freaked out when she realised I hadn't long since miscarried... I think she felt guilty, as she booked me in for a walk-in scan the next morning. I said I didn't want to go, as I was so early, but I think she wanted to make herself feel better and she insisted I go...

Next morning... I turn up... it's too early, they can't find a heartbeat...

The doc was great and said she didn't think there was a problem as she could see the sac and pregnancy, and she thought it was just too early to see anything... but, as you can imagine, I was completely freaked out.

She asked me to go back in a week but I couldn't as I've been in Scotland since the 28th, so I'm going back for another scan tomorrow morning...

Can't believe the silly woman sent me so that I could be 'reassured' when all it did was make me feel worse! I wish I hadn't gone in the first place, as I said when she sent me. I've now been sat on my lovely, relaxing New Year hol convinced I've had another M/C...

Sorry to go on, I'm just sat here, thinking about tomorrow morning, and I don't know what I'll do if the same thing has happened again.

Good luck rachie - is it an internal scan? if not - ask for one? I got a really good view of my bean at 8 weeks on an intenal scan

Hi Everyone

Thanks for all of your support - I went for the scan first thing and just got out, they found a heartbeat and estimate I am approx 8 weeks.

They found some tissue and were very vague about it, which is worrying me a bit - they want me to go back for another scan in a week, the doctor couldn't say what he thought it was but asked me if I'd had any bleeding during the pregnancy, which I haven't.

Any ideas...?

im so glad things went better for you this time

sorry but i dont know what it could be

 

[topbird]

could be scar tissue maybe - the doc mentioned this when I had my early scans, have you had your appendix out? she asked me this as it can cause some internal scarring?

Not sure it is something to worry about too much, easy to say I know, but sound slike they are looking after you well

 

[Rachie]

Thanks Guys

I was wondering if it was maybe residue from my miscarriage, as it wasn't too long ago, but I seemed to bleed for England at the time...! Can't believe there would be anything left!

I haven't had any surgery... I suppose I should just wait until next week, seven days is just a lot of worry time...

Hi hun im glad all went well see i told you it would be ok.

Im sure it nothing to worry about if the doc was worried they would have done further tests there and then.

Good luck for next week hun keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Just wanted to post some support for you Rachie. I hope everything goes well next week. I'm sure the doctors are just being extra cautious and there's nothing to worry about. Please try to think positively. Everything seems ok at the moment. It's good that they found the heartbeat and the sac etc. so try not to worry.

Hi Rachie,

I just wanted to second Sabrina's well written and thoughtful post above - I couldn't put it better myself so just wanted to let you know that I think/feel the same as above.
