need help

[soSO_nervous]

hi all... this is the first time i actually ask a question, but i am always reading everyone's advice.. Now i need help... Im pregnant for the second time around, i had a natural miscarriage first pregnancy. Now im 6 weeks and 4days pregnant, im so exited but also extremely nervous.
i had my secomd u/s yesterday, the sac was seen and so was the yolk.. But no baby!!
the dr was telling me that its normal but she was also telling me that she should've seen it. She booked me for another u/s on the 25/05, im so so nervous, im also scared i dont want to go through a miscarriage again, i was depressed for weeks after and still feel the pain at times.. Please help me... Is this normal, or is the dr just scaring me?

Hello,

Try to hang in there.  Hopefully, you'll have good news on the 25th.

Best,

Dr. Downing

Are you counting 6 weeks from ovulation or from your last period?  If from your last period, it may be too early to see baby. My doctor's office won't do that first ultrasound until a minimum of 8 weeks from LMP, for this reason. Best wishes.

It seems this comes up so often, and many times the outcome is just fine.  I second what Tahariel said, that is why many Dr.s don't do u/s until 8 weeks.  Try to stay positive, your next u/s will give you answers.  I know the wait is horrible, I have been there, but all you can do is try not to be too stressed out.  I wish you all the best.

thank you so much for your reply, well my dr actually gave me my first u/s at 4 weeks and made me stress out about not seeing the sac.... then she called me back at 6 weeks, and has just put me through a similar situation... i really apprecaite wat you have said, you have certainly made me more comfortable.. Im trying my best to stay positive, even though after my first pregnancy its a little hard. But the main thing is im trying not to lose any faith.. thanx again guys you have made my day, ill make sure to let you know how i go, hope to chat to you soon..
