delayed conception

I am according to my lmp 9 weeks pregnant but the fetus is only 6 weeks. There is feeble faint heartbeat with fetal development, but doctors are concerned as the baby din show any progressive growth since last 1 week. Only the fetal pole has started showing more prominently. I am very worried. This is scary as i had a spontaneous abortion in only 5 weeks few months back. I wont be able to take a second blow. Request you to give some insight. I have been given a week to observe. I want it to happen.

Thanks a ton for calming me down. It's just super weird that's all..i mean its easy to have simple healthy pregnancy but to live with the nightmare of slightest complications in the baby. Also sometimes the stresses accumulate. I am hoping for good news tomorrow. Its the ultrasound day.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I had an ultrasound a week earlier. It was 6 weeks 1 day and a week later the same. Now the difference between 2 weeks is more prominent fetal pole. The fetus is growing with faint heart beat. Thats all. They said 50 50 chances. I have ultrasound tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed. Also i wanna know whether the delayed conception picks up later or it means to give up hope.i m trying to prepare myself.

They thought I was 12 weeks along when i had my first ultrasound but the baby only measured 9 weeks but that's because I ovulated late. Im irregular so I figured calculating it from my period would be wrong. So when she said the baby only measured 9 weeks i wasnt shocked. Have you only had one ultrasound? You said something about not showing growth since last 1 week..what do you mean? Did you have another ultrasound before and now this one and it didn't grow since the last ultrasound?  Did they say anything was wrong or just that it was measuring smaller than it should? Its hard to say. I hope everything is OK.

I am in the same exact boat. Today is 9 weeks for me according to my lmp. Baby is measuring 6w3d. I think all women are different and so are all babies. Ovulation could of occurred later than expected or maybe your baby is just starting out measuring a little smaller than usual. It's still very early. Good luck to you and try not to worry. I know...easier said than done.
