Hi,

I had a scan last week and they estimated that I was 5 weeks, all that was seen was a sac and yok. Went again this week and there was a fetal pole, estimated at 5-6 weeks

I had a scan at 5+3 and I didn't really see anything about but I did see a wee flicker which i was told by the doctor was a heartbeat! But I was really lucky to have witnessed that so early on!

thanks girls, im so nervous! i know i wont see much and they will probably bring me back next week to confirm heartbeat but i just hope i see more than i did when i had mc.

just back from hospital and all she seen was a 6.1mm gestational sac and a 9mm haematoma, they took my bloods but they have nothing to compare them to so i have to go back next friday, does this sound normal?

 

[kimbotrav]

hey im not to sure whats a heamo....?? is if they saw sac thats brill least u know everything in the rihght place ... and on track....when i went yesterday 5w3d i saw a sack and they told me that was normal for this stage and i go bk at 8 weeks but nervous as havent made it that far so praying i will this time and see babs and heart beat

 

[3boys]

i cant spell it properly but a haematoma is a small sack filled with blood. I am sure this pregnancy will go well for you! x x

I agree - to see a sac is good news. This early even an internal ultrasound is not always reliable - my EPAU have a policy of not scanning until 7 weeks for this reason. If you haven't had significant bleeding the best thing to do is hold out for a couple weeks and see what a scan shows. Not an easy thing to cope with though, believe me I know.
Fingers crossed for you x

A sack sounds perfect for 5+3! Are you going back for another one?

 

[3boys]

yes hun, next friday, im more worried about the sac of blood.

 

[hope4bump]

Good luck 3boys, i heard of a few girls who had this sack of blood who said it was normal, as it gets reabsorbed or gets shed as spotting, shouldnt be a lot. x

 

[3boys]

i just read online that when a sac of blood is seen your chances of mc are 50-50 so i think this is gonna be a very tough week! x x

 

[hope4bump]

what did the doc say when they saw it?? remember, google is a very dangerous place, as anyone can put info on there...xx

 

[hayley x]

never heard of the sac of blood, did they say what may have caused it?
