I should be 8 weeks pregnant but only measuring 6w+2 my clinic haven’t done any blood tests to see why my baby might not be growing to alter any medication, Still had a heartbeat yesterday so I feel like it’s a little fighter!! Please help someone

So sorry you are going through this. A lot of us have been through the 'come back in one week/ten days/two weeks' agony.. and this is generally because there is nothing additional doctors can do, it really is a case of hoping and praying (even if you aren't religious!). No one can stop you going for a second opinion somewhere but generally at this stage altering medication is unlikely to make any difference - baby will either suddenly prove everyone wrong and grow (and I have seen it happen on this forum) or sadly won't. But if you feel like you want a second opinion maybe go to your early pregnancy unit, however I suspect they will tell you the same thing. Masses of luck and hugs x
