Concerned about 1st scan

[bucko1976]

Hi

I have just had my first scan. I went for the scan prepared to find out if I was carrying one or two. However, I came away not knowing if I would be carrying any in the near future.

At the time of the scan I was 7 weeks pregnant however after the consultant did the scan and measuremetns he explained that I am only measuring at 6 weeks. They were unable to detect a heartbeat and the consultant said he was a little concerned.

He says I am pregnant as there is one sack in there however becuase of the size and lack of heartbeat he can not confirm that all is ok.

I have another scan in 2 weeks time and don't know how I am going to get through them. I am scared that I am going to loose him/ her.

People keep telling me to stay positive but it is hard to. I know that I should keep a PMA but I am always going to worry that things are going wrong.

Has anyone else out there been through something similar? Is anyone able to give me any hope?
