8/9 weeks brown spotting & cramping

[kirby823]

This is our 4th pregnancy(1 ending in a miscarriage). I've been having slight cramping and brown spotting for almost a week now. Dr appt isn't until next week. Trying to keep it together but I feel like I've lost hope in there being a good outcome.

I agree I conceived June 15th I'm 13 weeks today  due March 7th you should be around 11 weeks that's why I say you my have ovulated later or could have been a error and baby would show bigger later a next scan I wouldn't stress it baby there and with a heart beat that's good

[kirby823]

If you are 13 weeks and conceived 2 weeks before me, than I should be 10 almost 11 weeks now.

That 8 weeks sounds closer to actual than. I conceived a bit more than 2 weeks before you and am turning 13 weeks tomorrow.

Dr was suppose to call for follow up and never did. I know which day we conceived or around. June 30.

Glad baby was found with heartbeat that's good but did you see your doctor afterwards what did they say about the baby measuring smaller . You possibly think you could have ovulated later on in the month  then what was expected . Measurement can sometimes be off but usually not this early  I wouldn't worry to much if the doctor isn't good luck and congrats

Had my appointment Wednesday according to my LMP which I know is accurate Dr said I should be 10 weeks 5 days. Yesterday we went in for ultrasound and baby and gestational sac only measured 8w 3d. The ultrasound tech said something about the placental ring around the sac dividing which doesn't happen until 10 weeks. I'm so lost. We did see heartbeat at least.

I'm just waiting it out until appointment next week.  My hubby works on the road so I can't rest much with a 14 month old running around. He will be gone until next Tuesday so no sex here. I'll keep you all updated after appointment next week.

Have you called your doc? I just had this and I was on one step up from bedrest. Make sure you don't pick up anything heavy (that meant my 2 year old) and rest. I laid on the couch as much as possible. The good news is its old blood. They may send you in for an ultrasound with radiology. Try that.  Keep us updated!
