baby's measurement prior to m/s

Hello ladies !


I had been wondering this for a while..... what was your experience ?


Both miscarriages the baby was measuring smaller then what I said it should be.
1st time - I said it should be 8weeks, they said it was 6.5 weeks. They tried to tell me I ovulated late/dates were off. Saw a heartbeat but a couple days later m/s.

2nd time - I went in at 10 weeks baby measuring 6-7 weeks, gave it another week no heartbeat/growth .

Was your baby measuring smaller than you felt/knew it should be ?

OR

Was it measuring at the right stage all along ?

I'm so paranoid with my next pregnancy they will say it's behind again.


Thanks for your responses!

my baby was where it should be... i lost it because of my cervix... so it actually had nothing to do with the baby

i hate my body for it

Re: baby's measurement prior to m/s

My baby was measuring at the correct week the first few times I went. When they saw no HB, it was about a week behind.

Re: baby's measurement prior to m/s

My embryo had a slow heart beat. By a week later the heartbeat was even slower and there was no growth from the last sono. THen a few days after, there was no hb left.

Re: baby's measurement prior to m/s

Looking back it seems like my sonos were always a week behind what they should have been. Dr "chalked it up" to late ovulation (which i did O very late) so no one really was concerned.

But at my 6 wks sono (really 7wks since LMP) there was a yolk sac and the SMALLEST fetal pole. Too small to see HB. No one seemed worried so we didnt think there was anything wrong.

2 wks later was when they saw that nothing developed further at my 8 wk (really 9 wk since LMP) sono. All that was left was a yolk and no fetal pole. Thats when dr saw blood in my uterus indicating that a m/c would happen.

Devastating

Re: baby's measurement prior to m/s

my baby measured where it should have the entire time until I went for my last sono with the RE and there was no heart beat. So somewhere between the 10w sono and the sono at 11w5d it stopped. but my baby had downs syndrome and the re said that 80% of ds conceptions end the way mine did by 12 weeks.

this is why we are considering PGD testing when I begin IVF.

Re: baby's measurement prior to m/s

I had sonos at 4w3d and 6w3d and everything was progressing normally. Had some spotting around 11 weeks and went in for a sono and there was no heartbeat. The doctor said the fetus measured about 7 weeks, but I've read that once they stop growing, they start degenerating at the same rate, so I think it must've happened around 9 weeks.
