1st Scan

We arranged for an early pregnancy scan due to risk of an ectopic happening again. The wait was long and both my husband and I could not be happy with the test results because we felt we weren’t quite out of the woods yet. On the day of the scan, both of us were a bag of nerves. All we wanted to know was that the baby was in the right place, the word “viability” was not something we had ever considered until the consultant dropped it into conversation. That then opened a whole new can of worms of worry. As I lay there and looked at the ultrasound screen I hoped to see a blob or something that would say all was good. The consultant was solemn and said that I was definitely pregnant and it was in the right place but there was nothing in the sac he could see and that it could mean it was too early and my dates were off. My heart sank. All I could think of was “viability”. Consultant said to come back in 2 weeks and we would see if things had progressed. My husband and I thought we would be leaving the scan happy or sad, not left in limbo. Those 2 weeks were going to be hard….
