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?

Agree with the earlier comment.. quite extreme for the dr to make such comment and cause unnecessary stress to mother😅 it is still at very early phase and gestational sac size may sometimes vary depending on your actual ovulation day. 5w6d is based on your estimated ovulation date. 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!
