4 weeks pregnant after a CP need a little advice please
Hi all, I have a question about initial scanning. I had a CP last October at a little over five weeks and while I pregnant I had made an appointment with a midwife for an initial scan several weeks out. I never made it to the scan because of the miscarriage but when I spoke with the midwife, her name is Robyn, she said “just a heads up, next time you’re pregnant, I don’t really like to donjnitla scans until ten weeks of pregnancy because you can’t truly tell if the pregnancy is viable until that time frame. Before then is just too soon.” I understand this time frame but I’m conflicted about it getting any testing done beforehand because I also had a very good friend going through a miscarriage of a different sort at the same time as mine.
In her experience, she didn’t suddenly loose symptoms and get a period, she continued to have symptoms and no bleeding all the while her pregnancy wasn’t progressing at a healthy rate. Her hormone levels were low and not rising and with multiple tests weeks apart she was advised to take a pill, basically the abortion pill to move the miscarriage along.
If this instance were happening to me, I’d rather know sooner than later or wait an extra five weeks thinking I’m pregnant when I’m actually not progressing with a viable pregnancy.
Does anyone else share this sentiment? Am I just being impatient? I want to be positive and present but I also want to be realistic and in the know. Any advise helps. Just trying to be calm and not put ky bad first experience on this one. Thanks everyone 💕
