Small gestational sac
I am at 5weeks 6days, just went to have my first scan. OB mentioned that the gestational sac is measuring smaller than expected- probably around 4weeks. He mentioned that there is a significant risk of miscarriage. I had two miscarriages previously. Any success stories or similar experiences to share?
Hi hi, I had an abortion once and a miscarriage a year after. My current pregnancy was at risk of miscarriage too. When I was at week 6 I had light spotting like I did with my previous miscarriage. My Doc was very frank to us which we appreciate the frankness as we want to be mentally & emotionally prepared in case of another loss. He planned a treatment for me. I followed thru this treatment plan till week 14. *Am nearing to Third trimester now.* 1. Take progesterone tablets 3x a day 2. Weekly progesterone injection 3. Weekly doc review 4. Strict bedrest 5. No sexual intercourse with your partner Do note that not all miscarriages can be avoided even with treatment plans. I hope that your doc has explained to you that it is none of your’s or your partner’s fault.

Same as first heartbeat detection, some ppl hear it earlier at 5w/6w, some hear it later at 8w. That shouldn’t be the sole parameter to conclude a “significant risk of miscarriage”. Try not to let that affect u mummy! Keep a positive mind and happy mood😊 it helps in pregnancy journey!
