The hospital have just called to say my results are back and they have gone up a lot but not quite doubled. They were 3700 on Monday and 6100 yesterday. They have said not to worry but they just want to check on me and I have to go back for another scan tomorrow. Is this really bad - anyone had experiences with this? Does it mean I am losing the baby?  |

Thanks so much for responding so quickly On Monday after my first blood she said if they rise and don't double they would suspect an ectopic pregnancy but when they phoned they said they werent really sure at all on those figures so want to do another scan to clear everything up. Im glad to get another scan but just hope all ok. This will be my first little on :-) | |

Think of it this way, when you are having a scan and everything is fine, think how lucky you are that you got to see your baby so early into the pregnancy. |

I had a scan on Monday but I was so early on they had to use the vaginal probe thing? They could see the sac from that but it was only 5mm so only little. Am hoping it will be bigger and better tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed lol Just how nervewracking is this first few weeks lol | |

Definitely try to chill... I know where you are coming from (had an MC at 5.5 weeks back in March), but you have to hang in there and try to relax (otherwise it will be a LOOOOONG 9 months or 21+ years  ).At the end of the day what will happen will happen and - beyond being sensible (smoking/alcohol/food/heavy lifting etc) - there is nothing that we can do. So we have to get on with life and try to enjoy it as much as possible. Worrying will not chance the outcome, just make us feel rubbish (and most probably without jusy cause). This is what both my MW and Gynae Consultant have said. Plus I think (personal theory here) that stressy pregnancy is more likely to equal stressy baby at the end of it: and we ALL want relaxed, mellow babies who sleep through the night, don't we... BUT - all that said - this is the place to come and air your worries... lots of people to listen, advise, reassure and support you Definitely hang in there QT | |
