how do you handle the news of possibly having a belatated ovum?

There is nothing I can do Evan if I tried,.... I don't think I really wanted the midwife to tell me that!

  • You just have to wait it out. Your body will reliese that your not 'pregnant' and have a miscarriage if you do have one. I had one back in june and after a week after them telling me that I began to miscarry on my own. It was hard. Really hard. And I still went to work even though I probably shouldn't have. They said it was a fluke thing. And after a couple of months after that I was able to get pregnant again and now im 24wks. So yes its tough because it is a loss an big one at that but just remember that there is a light at the end of th tunnel. I talked to a lot of other women online for support and that helped because they have been there. So talk with someone.
  • Thank you, I'm gonna try. The measurement said I was just under 5 weeks and the technician said it was to soon to see a baby (if there is one), so I'm hoping for the best. If not I don't think I'm ready to loose another pregnancy.
  • I found out monday that i prob have a blighted ovum too accorsing to my primary doc i shld b 7 weeks today but my obgyn says i was in my 8th week n he cldnt see the baby i go for another ultrasound monday to see if anything has changed he wants me to go for a d&c tues if he still cant see it but ive decided if i dnt miscarry soon im goin to wait til im 10 weeks to do the d&c bec it cld b that im jus too early...its rly hard to deal with but as time passes it gets a lil bit easier ur def not alone tho there are many women u can talk to which has def helped me hope for the best ill b praying for us
  • I thought I was 7 weeks by my cycle, but the measurement of my sac said I was only 4 weeks and 5 days,... too early to see anything. So when my midwife said bilated ovum it scared the heck out of me,.. but my other midwife is more hopeful that it was too early and more than likely it isn't bilated. She still wants me to check my quads every week.
  • I would just try to stay positive. We went in at 5 weeks and 2 days and still could only see a sac, went back at 6 weeks 3 days, seen a sac, fetal pole, fetal heartbeat, and yolk sac! Just a small amount of time makes drastic changes. Im now 21 weeks 6 days pregnant and we find out the sex tomorrow! Best wishes and luck to you and your baby!
  • Thank you! Congrads and I hope you have a safe and easy delivery!
  • Thank you! Same to you! =)
