Help!

Hi all I’m hoping to hear I’m just being paranoid and others have had similar situation! I’m 16weeks today and this is my first pregnancy! So night before last I had bad stomach loose bowels but I think that was something I ate.. yesterday at work I had cramps and initially thought it was because I had a funny tummy. Went to the loo and started to get pinkish discharge with the cramps. I was so worried as only had spotting around 7 weeks when straining too hard being constipated. Went up to the hospital and they weren’t too concerned so went home. Through out the night I needed a wee a lot (fun of pregnancy) and still pink discharge/spotting. This morning I called gynaecology who said come in and they’ll do an ultrasound. Fast forward to this morning had the scan baby looked great heartbeat great and couldn’t see where spotting was coming from! Only at the end the lady doing my scan was trying to do a rough measurement but baby was in awkward position. She made a quick comment baby looked at 14 weeks but not to worry as this wasn’t a measurement scan… now I’m worried! How can I be two weeks behind when other scans have always been on date! Messaged my midwife who said she couldn’t do much till 20week scan mid November! Has anyone had a rough measurement done during a scan and it be completely off?!? Any positively would be great thanks! Xxxx

Oh yes 100% I panicked so much at my dating scan I knew I was 12+5 before IVF so I knew dates but she said baby was measuring 10+3 she sent me for a walk n fizzy drink n when I come back baby measured 12+4 I was soooo relieved my baby must of been curled up I suppose my first baby too, I was so scared x

@Emily aww bet that was so scary! I didn’t think about how much I drank before and it was only an emergency check on baby so I’m hoping shes just got it wrong on quick check. Baby facing the screen and having a proper party when we seem them 😂 so maybe that didnt help either xx thank you for your reply xx

Don’t worry too much honestly I did panic but baby can literally hide away from screen or be very photogenic haha mine just needed a sugary drink and a halve hour walk and there baby came out and matched dates xx

If it will give you peace of mind, do a private scan. Not good to be super worried until the 20 weeks scan…

@Camila I can’t afford to get a private scan until payday so that’s a couple of weeks of worry

@Emily thanks! Xx yeah baby always seems to be on it’s head when they do scans and moving around a lot so I’m gona put it down to that 😂 xx
