Viable pregnancy or doomed?

[molly654]

I am worried that I am doomed to have a miscarriage. I have had two Completely normal pregnancys but this time things just dont seem right.I went to my first ob appt.Two weeks ago I should have been 6 wks. 1 day us showed 5wks 3 days.Went back yesterday 2 full weeks later us showed around 6 wks insted of 7wks 3 days like it should have.Also showed a slow heart rate,asmall blood collection wich nobody sais anything about the last time and a large yolk sac.All doc said was come back in a week. She doesnt throw in the towel until there is no choice. what are the chances this is a viable pregnancy?

thanks everything you read on different sites vary so much.Some sites say a low heart rate is a extrememly high miscarriage rate. I wonder if I should get a second opinion or wait another week and see.This doc is new to me my last ob that delivered my girls retired so I am also hoping i made the right decision on docs.I also never had a us so soon it wasnt until 4 or 5 months the last two times I really wish they had not done one so soon I think it just causes alot of confusion and stress. Thanks for your advice

the thing with bleeds is that only a small percentage are spotted on u/s scans. i had intra amniotic bleeding ( that's bleeding in the sac ) and bleeding under the sac ( i'm not sure if that's subchorionic or not). if they're not ruling out implantation bleeding then it sounds like your bleed is in a similar area. what's good is that it's described as 'small'. my bleed at one point was nearly as big as the baby and that is when it starts to get dangerous. most bleeds heal themselves before they pose a threat to the baby. the odds are very much in yours and baby's favour at this point.

sub chorionic hematoma? intra amniotic hematoma?

It's hard to say but I do wish you much luck and I hope that everything turns out alright.

The problem with ultrasounds that early on is that it's very difficult to see and get proper measurements.

I wouldn't give up hope just yet. *HUGS*

I can't remember where she said exactly she used the technical term and I forgot as soon as she said it.But she also said it may be implantation bleeding but it was not mentioned on the first us.

while there's a heartbeat, it's viable. where's the collection of blood?
