My situation is pretty tricky right now....we are in limbo as to the health of our baby.

My husband and I have a beautiful two year old daughter, and have been trying for a baby since November 2020. In January we found out we were pregnant but lost the baby before we could even get to our first ultrasound. (Around 5 1/2 weeks).

My LMP this time was Feb 12....and I took a pregnancy test in March 12 and received a big bold positive! We were so excited!!! We then were booked for an ultrasound for March 31. At that point we should have been about 6w5d. The midwife were measuring at what she said “might be five weeks might be less” via vaginal ultrasound, and saw a gestational sac, a healthy yolk sac, and a tiny little shadow that she said was likely the baby but we needed to wait and see. I was disappointed about how far behind we appeared to be. We were asked to come back in two weeks for another scan.

We came back on April 14th (given LMP should have been 8w5d) and the scan showed that the baby did indeed grow. By quite a bit it looked. We were still measuring WAY behind at 5w6d and babe was too small apparently to see a heartbeat. The midwife was testing on both sides....this could be a healthy pregnancy, this might be a non viable pregnancy....and having had taken a test 5 weeks ago....it feels impossible that this baby would be that behind on development.

I fear the worst. But I can’t help but have a sliver of hope since the baby grew. I’m not having any cramping or bleeding. My symptoms are normal. Nausea. Sore boobs. Fatigue. Dizziness. Etc.

Anyone else had this experience but maybe had a positive outcome?
