No heartbeat at 6+1
Hi, my lmp was 30/10 so I thought i was about 11 wks. I had very irregular periods, 5-9wks apart, so was told by my midwife my dates would prob be wrong due to this. I went for a scan on the 21st as i had a bit of spotting and was told the i was 6+1 and that there was no heartbeat but the baby and sac were still in tact. I have to go back on the 31st to check for any change. They have told me not to be positive as chances are this is a non viable pregnancy and i would prob mc. I'm such a mess as i cant take this in. I've had 3 healthy pregnancys before, i have had no other bleeding or any pain. Please help as i just dont know what to do! Thanks Emma

i had some pains in side when i thought i was 8 weeks, was sent for scan to check for ectopic pregnancy, which showed the sac etc in womb, ruling out ectopic pregnancy, but they also said there was no heartbeat and there should have been at this stage.
i also have quite irregular periods and it had been 8 weeks since my last so thats all i had to go on.
i was then to wait 2 weeks to go back for another scan, having been told it was very likely that id had a mc.
i went back 2 weeks later after the longest hardest fornight ever, to see a wee heartbeat. they reckoned i was only 7 weeks at second scan meaning i had only been 5 wks at first scan which would explain no heartbeat.
this also meant that i was only 3 weeks preg when i had my first positive result, which is early!
i am 23 wks tomoro, and dates match up so far to confirm i was just less preg than i thought.
so this may also be the case for you.
i know this isnt always the case, but just wanted to say try not to get too down about it cause there is still hope, also there have been girls on here with even more of a gap of what they thought and how preg they actually were x
