I am currently 10 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I started having some very light bleeding this morning so went to get checked out, she sent me for an early pregnancy scan.

The person doing the scan was a trainee and wasn’t sure what she was looking at (took her ages to find my ovaries and she struggled to find them) she had a consultant sat with her helping her out but I didn’t have much confidence. He took one look and said the baby is too small for 10 weeks and that I was 5 weeks and 5 days and he couldn’t see a heartbeat. He said that my dates could be wrong but I doubt it as all midwives and doctors have said the same dates as me.

We have to go back in a week to see if the baby has grown anymore as they suspected the baby may have stopped growing at 5 weeks and 5 days and that the pregnancy has stopped.

My heart is completely broken as we’ve been waiting for this for so long.

Everyone is telling me that the scan we go back for could show that the baby is growing and everything is fine but things are not looking good. I’m so confused and extremely depressed. My little baby could be gone forever and that is the hardest thing in the world to have to face.
