Inconsistency w/ size vs date

[Manda_Bear94]

I'm 8-10weeks &My baby is only measuring 5wks 6days. I've been measuring 5wks6days for 2weeks now. They also couldn't find the baby's heartbeat either. I'm really concerned &need some tips. Has anyone else been through this.

Hi there.  I'm so sorry.  I'm sure this is stressful and scary.  That you've not grown at all and they aren't seeing the baby or hearing a heartbeat is not a good sign.  I'm afraid you've possibly lost your baby.  

Planned parenthood by the way is a free place women can go without insurance.  They are in just about every city.  And in a short bit of time, all US citizens will be required to carry some sort of insurance.  this is the good news for future treatment for you in terms of medical care.

What is typical practice in my area is that ob/gyn's do not see pregnant women until they are at least 8 weeks pregnant so I'm not sure how often you'd have been seen prior to this even if you had insurance.

Anyway, I'm glad you are seeing a doctor in two weeks---  that will give you your answer.  good luck and again, very sorry you are going through this

I don't have an OB bc of health insurance issues. I am gettin one as soon as I get a medical card from the state. I already have one picked out. When I saw this dr at the clinic he said that the baby has moved from the yoke sac towards the placenta. That was the only thing that we saw. He said I might have a miscarriage but he cant tell if Im havin a bad pregnancy or a healthy one because this happens from time to time & gave me a follow up appointment in two weeks.

don't mean to be rude but if you've been measuring 5w6d for 2 weeks and yur suppose to be 8-10 weeks with no heartbeat could it have been that baby probably passed, what did your doctor say
