Viability scan measuring small - What does this mean?

My_Miracle_Is_Here profile image

So last week at 6w 2d I had a scan that was measuring 5w 6d (3 days behind).

I had another scan today at 7w 2d and was measuring 6w 4d (5 days behind).

Heartbeat was seen at both scans. Booked in for another scan next week. This is torture.

Am I going to miscarry?

Hi. Hopefully just a slow starter. When you have your next scan, ask someone senior to explain it to you thoroughly. Good luck! Diane

I don't know the answer but just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear how worrying this must be! It's a good sign that they heard the heartbeat both times though x

Thank you. At least this time of year there are lots of distractions 🎄.

no one can really answer that question unfortunately :( I’m sorry this is such a worrying time. The first 12 weeks are usually hell so all you can do is wait and hope for the best. Completely agree with Diane that they should be telling you what to expect and if there’s any reason to worry xx

** Update **

Had another scan, no heartbeat.

Happy Christmas.
