Still pregnant?
Blije mama to be
Hi everyone,
7 weeks ago I lost a lot of blood in the night and had severe abdominal pain. I was 11 weeks pregnant at the time. The next morning I had an ultrasound with this awful sonographer. She was rude, short and rough. I was so upset that I couldn't really look, I only heard her say that the baby was gone, so a miscarriage.
But now it's been 7 weeks and I'm starting to worry a lot. I don't want to call the midwife for every little thing, but I'm really bothered by it. My belly is growing fast! I'm dieting to get rid of my belly, but I'm gaining weight! I should be 18 weeks pregnant now and I really look it! There are a lot of twins in my family and my husband's family. Could it be that the sonographer didn't see it correctly? I didn't find any embryo myself, only a lot of blood and some small mucus clots. According to her, my uterus was 95% empty and another ultrasound wasn't necessary. I got my period 30 days later. Yet I still feel pregnant! I don't dare to take a test, because you can still have a positive test 9 weeks later and I'm afraid this will bring even more uncertainty. Does anyone have experience with this? With my first ultrasound at 8.3 weeks she saw one baby...
Help!
Love,

Phew, I have to say that the chance you're still pregnant is small if the ultrasound showed it's almost empty. Nine weeks later, it also seems unlikely that you'd still test positive for that pregnancy, so maybe take a test. Trying to get pregnant again?
Also, did they mention whether the fetus was also that small in size, besides being 11 weeks along?
I had a miscarriage at 11.5 weeks with a fetus that had grown to 9.5 weeks. It was really a mini-birth, including ruptured membranes (I felt it and saw the water), and afterward I saw the membranes and a transparent thing (can't think of the name right now, for nourishment). For me, it was a whole thing that came out and clearly different from the rest. -

If you're really unsure, you can always call your GP and get tested first. Not sure what to expect from this, want to give you some encouragement but also don't want to give you false hope.
