Anxiety over disappointing ultrasound

After a long time of trying, we finally got pregnant! Two days ago was our 7 week, 2 day ultrasound (I’m high risk at this point for many reason) and we left heartbroken.

While we were so excited to FINALLY see our little goose (what we affectionately call our baby), when the doctor said she has the following worries for the baby:

- an irregularly low heart beat at 112
- measuring at 6 weeks and 4 days, not 7 weeks
- an irregularly shaped/large yolk sac
- I have a subchorionic hemotoma 

All signs of a possible (and depending one why you read, likely) miscarriage. We have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to determine if anything has improved so I’m trying to remain positive and hopefully but my doctor seemed like she was slowly trying to break the news that it’s not looking good long term. I feel numb.

Has anyone had this experience before and it ended up working out on the end?? I need any sliver of a glimmer of hope at this point.

Thank you ♥️

  • I'm sorry you are in limbo right now ❤️ I don't have experience with all of those things, but could it be possible that you ovulated later? I was told that plus or minus 5 days for growth can be normal. I also had an ultrasound right around 6 weeks with heart rate of 113 and was told that was normal for this stage. I hope you get good news in 2 weeks!

  • Yeah I don’t know if this helps but they pushed my due date for my last pregnancy from 12/15 to 12/23. I gave birth on 12/26 so it was pretty accurate! My first ultrasound didn’t have a heartbeat and they were very concerned.  I just ovulated much later than “standard” so it definitely happens! Sending positive thoughts your way and hope your next ultrasound goes well!
