Missing baby

I had my 1 U/S at 6 weeks. At that time there was 1 sac with a baby and heart beat, 1 empty sac, and a clot. I was told to come back in two weeks. My 2 U/S only showed 1 empy sac and a clot. I was told that I would miscarry. What is the chance that the baby is hidden behind either the empty sac or the clot. It has been 2 weeks and no signs of miscarriage.

There is a chance that the other sac was behind the other. But in some cases when there are two sacs one of them ends up getting absorbed. I would request another ultrasound at this point and if you haven't bleed yet you might need to get a D&C since it could be what is termed a missed miscarriage (where your body doesn't get rid of it on its own). I'm sorry that you are having to go through all this but honestly before you do anything try getting another ultrasound just to make sure its not hiding.

I'm not really sure. I'd give it another 2 weeks, ask for another u/s if you haven't miscarried. By then you should know for sure what is going on (you'll be 10 weeks by then). Don't do anything until you are 100% comfortable and sure that the pregnancy is non-viable. They will probably ask for your consent to do a D&C by then if pregnancy has ended.

It's scary and it'll be a long wait. But it just might be worth it if everything is okay!
