Had u/s yesterday- weird results, midwife said ok, still worried

So I had my first u/s yesterday- a total surprise, I was just going in for bloodwork. My OB was out of the office in surgery, but his wife who is the midwife said we could do an u/s since I had not had one.

because I wasn't expecting to have it done, I had E w/ me, and I was alone, and held her while I was having it done.

By my calculations, which I know are accurate, I'm 10 weeks, but the u/s showed my sac at 7, w/ the fetus at 6w4d w/ no HB.

she said everything looked good, but couldn't give me any answers w/o my OB. And scheduled mr for an appt. In 4wks.

my edd drastically changed to July 4th- yay. And I left excited.

then I started googling, now I'm freaking out.

Re: Had u/s yesterday- weird results, midwife said ok, still worried

  • Okay, I think I'm confused Krissie. 

    So, you're 10 weeks along by your calculations, the sac measures at 7, the fetus measures at just under 7 weeks and there is no heartbeart?

    They didn't want to do any more investigation into the heartbeat?

  • hmm, I'm with Katy on this one... they didn't want to schedule an u/s sooner than 4 weeks?  Especially if you are sure your calculations are right, and the measurement was so far off?
  • Didn't they change your due date like 100 times with E too? 

    I hope everything is OK!

  • Hugs! Definitely call up there as soon as they open up again to try to get some answers. Hopefully they will be able to reassure you and everything is fine!
  • Sending tons of hugs. That sounds like a really confusing appointment.
  • I'm really confused, too.  I specifically requested an u/s at 10 weeks to confirm the heartbeat in order for us to break the news to our families at Christmas.  If I was told no heartbeat, I would have been worried.  How can the MW just say it's OK.  I would definitely call on Friday if they are open and request to speak with the OB since the MW didn't give you any acceptable answers.

    ((( hugs )))

  • Sending you loads of hugs. I can see why you are still worried. I agree with pp to call their office tomorrow and see if you can get an appointment with your regular O/B,
  • I think she was just thinking that my calculations were wrong. But I know exactly what day I started LMP because I have the receipt from buying tampons. My cycles are 30-31 days. W/ E the first OB went to didn't believe that I would know that, and based my EDD on a 28 day cycle. Them when I went to my current OB, He decided I was right after taking her measurements. She had measured small until the very end. And was born 5days before her final EDD at 38 wks gestational age.

    what I am hoping is that 2 things happened- she measured wrong, she's just the MW, not a radiologist or an OB, and that the baby was positioned in a weird way. I can't remember when we heard the HB for the first time W/ E. I know at the first u/s the tech couldn't find it and told me there was no baby and I was going to have a m/s. But then the OB was able to find it 4 days later.

    I am just so mad at my self for just walking out of there. I should have pressed her more. I am def going to call Monday. I might even go into the OB urgent care at the womens hospital OB fri & have an u/s dine to ease my mind.

    if it is worst case, I think the only thing she may have been doing was trying to protect me and not ruin my holiday. My mom had 7 m/c's and said it was usually a couple of days before she could get scheduled got d&c's so she might just be waiting to tell me until Friday- that's my moms crazy rational at least.

    thanks for the support girls. I know that if the baby is already gone or I'm going to have a m/c they'd is nothing j can do to prevent it, so I just need to get off the Internet, enjoy my day snd start getting ready for dinner w/ the fan tonight.
