Oh Kitkat how scary. I had a bleed at 18 weeks with DS2 & it was terrifying. BlessedMomma that is excellent news about your DD. congratulations! Odd I really do hope the placenta previa resolves itself. I would go mental on bed rest!!

Just wanted to say hi! I haven't been around as much as before. I read here and there.

I am so sorry for the losses that mamas are enduring. Losses are so difficult and my heart really goes out to you gals.

Congrats to the mamas finding out they are getting their DG.

We had our anatomy scan last week and there are a few concerns but we don't have answers and have 4 weeks to wait for our next scan. Nothing seems pressing or dangerous, but they couldn't get various pictures, baby's belly is measuring rather large, and I have placenta previa, although potentially just marginal. They think it might be a lobe instead of a major part, but we don't really know. It's not complete, that much we do know. What they did see (minus the belly) looks good. And the tech did a fabulous job not showing us any spoiling pictures. We never even had to look away. I feel baby a lot now, which makes sense because the placenta is not blocking as much as I thought (it's anterior, but really, really low). I will be in and out. I just want answers, not necessarily because it changes anything, but i can't help but be a little worried about some of the unknowns. I hope it's all just a false alarm. But I'll love whoever we get. He/she already is pretty cute!

I hotdogz :waving: I was wondering where you were. I hope the results turn out to be nothing. 4 weeks can take forever when you're waiting for news like that. I hope the PP resolves itself & baby's large belly turns out to be nothing. I'm really impressed you managed to stay Team Green, both from the tech's sonography skills & your own resolve! The curiosity would have got the better of me I am certain! Good news you're feeling baby a lot at least that means s/he is active in there, bright & alert regardless of whatever else is going on. FX for you that everything is fine. I understand about needing to know. It's just about being prepared isn't it. Of course it doesn't change how you feel about your baby, but not knowing what challenges (if any) lie ahead can be disconcerting. I get it. X

Went to the dr today for a follow up appointment to my suspected blighted ovum. There was a fetal pole now????? Measuring 6 weeks 3 days. Tech could not get a heartbeat, but I was told it could still be early for that.

Here's the thing. I used opk's and thought for sure I knew when I concieved! This would make me waaaaay off! Like a month! I am so confused.

I have to go back next Friday for another ultrasound. I have a little bit of hope. Has anyone had this happen before or heard of it???? I don't think this could be considered a blighted ovum since there is a fetal pole now?? I know something still could be wrong.

Great news Queen! Seeing a fetal pole, but not detecting a heartbeat at 6w3d is completely normal. If all is good then they should for sure see a heartbeat by 7 weeks. Fingers crossed for you! Seeing a fetal pole during the 6th week is the most important thing.

I went in a 6w5d after having spotting and a little bit of red bleeding and "no normal fetal pole" was detected. My hcg was only 6000 at that point and I miscarried the next day. Have you had repeat betas to see if your numbers are still going up? Mine went from 6000 to just under 3000 in two days.

Hoping for good news for you!

They never took my blood. Which I guess I am ok with:-/ I really do like my midwife. She didn't make me feel like this was a lost cause, but she didn't give me false hope either. Last week she didn't jump to any conclusions and with having me come back in a week there is a fetal pole! Sadly I know a lot of dr's would had scheduled a d&c right there.

I have no idea how next week will go seeing how confused I am about my dates. But I am confident in my midwife and that gives me some comfort

[PrimalMamma]

Oh wow QueenB I'm crossing everything cross-able for you!!
