6/7 weeks pregnant 2mm embryo with weak heartbeat
I am writing as i'm really worried, i suffered a delayed miscarriage in september 2010 and found out i was pregnant again (3rd pregnancy) in december 2010, i was so overjoyed it happened so quickly. My first pregnancy was great until 34 weeks and i have a beautiful 2 year old daughter.
Unfortunately I started spotting in this pregnancy when i thought i was 6/7 weeks so went for an ultrasound and was told i was 5 weeks and could see the gest sac and yolk sac and everything looked normal there was no bleeding round the baby or in the sac and to come back in 2 weeks for another scan i felt so relieved.
Well i went back for my second scan yesterday 5/1/11 the day after my daughters 2nd birthday and was told the baby was small for the time that had elapsed measuring only 2mm and it had a very weak heartbeat and basically to expect the heartbeat to stop this week and expect the worst when i go for another scan next week :( I feel so heartbroken and am hoping and praying for a miracle as i still have symptoms.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing? I just can't believe i may be suffering another miscarriage and it has only been 3 1/2 months since the last one :( x

Just to update found out today i suffered another delayed miscarriage, the heart had stopped and it had only grown another 1mm so going to hospital on sunday to have everything removed think i'll have a break now for a while and mayb try again in a while :(
I am so sorry to hear of your loss hun it's not a nice thing to go through especially over the xmas and new year period.
My last miscarriage in september ended when it grew to 4mm and a heartbeat was never found :-( i ended up having medical management (tablets) to deal with that loss so i'll probably go for that again as myself and my husband don't like the thought of surgery. I hope you are feeling much better after your surgery take it easy x
I am hoping the dates may have been slighly off on the last scan by a few days so instead of being 6 weeks and 6 days i could have been 6 weeks a 3 days but because i only had one period after my last miscarriage i don't even know how long my cycle was supposed to be so i'm not sure.
I will keep you posted as to what happens on wednesday take care and thanks for your comment xx

hi there louise
im really sorry your going thru this, but your not alone and dont ever feel like you are. i too have just gone thru the exact same thing :( i really feel for you hunny i started bleeding in my 6th week, when i went to the epu they did a scan and found out i had a gestational sac with a clot above it (that was causing the bleeding) they couldnt find a fetal pole or a yolk sac and asked me bk the week later when i went bk there was a 3mm fetal pole and yolk sac but still no heart beat( i was 7 weeks by then ),SO they asked me to return on 22nd dec by then my symptoms of preg had wore off and i knew something was wrong, when i got there i was scanned and the baby had only grown 1mm in 2 weeks but we had a heart beat wich was very slow so i had hope but only a little, by this time i was an emotional wreck and yes you guessed they asked me to return in a weeks time 29th dec deep down i knew so had detached myself from my pregnancy i was scanned and told there had been no change at all to the size of the fetus and the heart had stopped beating :( altho i prepared myself i was also hoping for a miricale i was crushed i ended up been booked in for a d&c on the 5th jan its been the worst xmas and new year ever .but as i had a week to wait i cried all my tears and did all the grieving i cud do i had to put on a brave face as i have 4 other kids that had no idea i was preg we planned on telling them new year .what im saying is the weeks wait made it easier for me to come to terms with and detach properly from the baby almost like i layed my baby to rest in my own way and the baby inside me was no longer there!! it may sound harsh but thats how i dealt with it i made myself believe that the d&c was the hospital cleaning me out and making me fresh for a new life to grow! im now 2 days past my op and am doing great and believe that the way i put things in my head has made me stronger and able to cope better ,if evr you need to chat im here and im always in and out of here so i will gladly speak and help you emotionally where i can xx
i wish you luck in your next scan and my fingers and toes will be crossed for you ,,,i also feared the worst and anything that was a good sign was a bonus but it just wasnt meant to be for me xx
