1st trimester
uncertainty!

Hey ladies,
2.5 weeks ago I took a pregnancy test because I had quite a few symptoms, and it turned out I was pregnant. We were really shocked at first, but after letting it sink in, we were overjoyed!
Last week I suddenly got abdominal pain and bleeding, so I had an emergency ultrasound at the hospital. They thought I was around 7-8 weeks pregnant. On the ultrasound, unfortunately, I saw an empty gestational sac. It felt like the ground was slipping from under my feet. The midwife said I could wait and see if it came out that week, or I could make an appointment starting today for a D&C. But I didn’t trust it, so I got another ultrasound today, and what do you think? Suddenly, there was something very clear visible!!! According to the measurements, I’m now 6 weeks pregnant, but there was still no heartbeat yet, so I’m having another ultrasound next Tuesday. I hope the heart will be beating then—I’ve regained a bit of hope.
Do you happen to have experience with this too? If so, I’d love to hear if it can still turn out okay and how it went for you. Thanks in advance, ladies.

Hey, thank you!
Indeed, a huge and stupid mistake—they didn’t even refer me to a gynecologist for an extra ultrasound, which is normally what should happen. I’m really angry. I had almost given up hope, but decided to ask for another ultrasound at a different hospital. Thank God I did that! I’m super curious, have to wait another week for certainty, but I’m willing to do it. So exciting! -

Oh, I wish you all the best!!
You should grit your teeth and not file a complaint..
They almost caused you to lose a baby!!
So you're both going for it now?? -

Hey girl,
That's so sad... Good that you listened to your instincts!! This just shows that doctors can make mistakes, but with serious consequences! Good luck with your ultrasound and hope everything is okay with your baby! I can imagine you're feeling a bit unsure, but at least you've already seen something beautiful on your scan!
Love, Lynn -

We're going all out now!! I'm seriously considering filing a complaint, and if everything goes well next week, I'll definitely go after it!
