6 week scan - Share experiences?

[Swanny]

Hi,

This is my 6th pregnancy. 3 losses in a row, then had my son, then blighted ovum and now I'm back again!

I've been booked in for a 6 week scan and wondering what I can expect to see (if fingers crossed anything at all)

I had a scan at 7 weeks with my son and they had to do internal, could not find him externally and he was tiny, about 7mm and we saw the heartbeat.

I'm exact with my dates so I guess what I'm wondering is if there isn't a heartbeat at 6 weeks then it's not looking good right?

I'm not going to sleep all week!!!

I had a scan at 6+1 and we saw and heard the heartbeat. If you don't see a heartbeat I would try not to stress though as you'd be surprised the difference a couple of days can make. Best of luck to you!

I had a scan at 6+2 and the ultrasound tech said she could see the HB- I couldn't. To me, the baby looked like a lollipop- all I could see was the yolk sac and fetal pole. Sometimes the HB can't be seen until 8 weeks or so, so as NCMommy said, try not to assume the worst if it can't be seen yet.

I had a scan at 5wks and 5 days and they could only see the Gest Sac and yolk sac...I went back again 6 days later and there was a baby (3mm) and a heart beat


Try not to worry if there isn't a fetal pole/Hb yet, a few days can make all the difference

Good luck, let us know how you get on

I had my a scan today as I had brown spotting this morning. No fetal pole was seen so I have to go back in a couple of weeks. I'm so worried but they didn't seem too concerned.... They said I was actually 6 weeks and 2 days so I just have to wait now
