Pregnancy - First Trimester

I went for another scan after abortion clinic as I needed to go to cancel my appointment but let them do a stomach scan and they said they thought I had a brighten Ovum (I think I spelt it wrong) so was told to go see if it was or if it was because they couldn't see much on the small scan.

I then went to the EPU for another scan and baby had grown but heartbeat was slow, so I have another appointment in a week for another scan. I am so scared and worried for my little bean because I do want it more than anything.

My Mum said she didn't think something was right as I have been having back pains recently. And now she says I should abort because there is a big chance my baby won't be ok if I get to full term.

Please can somebody tell me the chances that my baby will get through the next couple of months and if possibly the slow heartbeat at this point has effected it in any way.

I feel so upset right now and I just really want bean to be ok, even though I do realise that this is unlikely. It's hard to believe from Monday with such a fast heartbeat to a slow one.

OMG, I am sorry to hear about your news. I don't know anything about blighted ovums but my thoughts are with you that all will be alright!

I'm sorry I really don't have any advice for you. I don't think you have a blighted ovum though as that is where conception occurred and the fertilised egg implanted in your womb but the baby did not develop. Honestly I would speak to the doctors about the slow heartbeat before making a decision and find out what they recommend.

I really do not have any advice for you either hun. I am feeling for you though as I had a scare about a month ago. It seems as though time slows down when you are worried. I hope your little bean is o.k..

A slow heartbeat is still a heartbeat. Hopefully your bean will stick! xx

What a tough one.

That's about all I can do to try make you feel better.

A slow heartbeat is a heartbeat nonetheless and without positive thinking and hope there really is no hope. So take care of yourself. And try to stay positive. Hopefully it'll all be fine in the end.

Remember as evil as it sounds if there is something wrong mother nature will step in. If the baby makes it then I believe everything is 100%

Wishing you all the best of luck!!!!

I agree with Gabi - let nature take charge for the moment.

Wait for the scans and meidcal opinion hun you never know things could turn out all right i hope they do x

The Nurse gave me little hope as she said 'The heartbeat is slower than it should be so you'll need another appointment in the next 10-14 days'. Maybe she didn't want to worry me, but hopefully all is well

. And if it isn't then it happened for a reason and mother nature did what was ment to happen but I'll just have to wait and see
