Hoping everything is ok

Hi Hannah, I am writting to you because my last period was June 20th, and I did a pregnancy test on August 6th and was positive. So counting from my last missed period, I should be about 11 weeks pregnant. On September 13th, I went to the Doctor and had a sonogram which in fact proved that I am pregnant, but the baby is only 6 weeks and 4 days. Therefore, I am very afraid because either I totally skipped my July period and got pregnant then or my baby stopped growing inside. Now, the Doctor scheduled another Sonogram for Friday Sept 22 to see if we can listen to a heartbeat by then. If everything is okay, I guess I just miscalculated and totally skipped a period, and that threw me off. Can this happen? I am very afraid to find out Friday Sept 22 if the baby is okay or that stop growing inside! I do not want to be negative but I just can’t help it!  Aimee

Dear Aimee,

Thank you for contacting us.  I feel the anxiety you’re going through.  Your situation is at the stage where it really can only be accurately diagnosed by your physician and some hands on tests & observation.  It’s easy for me to say you’re probably fine and not to worry, but there’s always that chance.  I’ll be praying everything works out ok.  If you could give us an update when you find out, I’d love that!

Hannah
