I am so excitied and vervous at the same time.
Tomorrow morning my husband and are are having our second ultrasound.
we had one 13 day's ago and it showed a sac being 6wks and 1 day but no baby yet it wasn't an internal one though as they hurt me sometimes and when the lady tried it was to painfull.
So tomorrow morning we are having our second one. We should just be under 8wks.
my question is has anyone had there first scan and seen only sac then gone back 1or 2 weeks later and seen there baby?
i had a misscarriage on the 19th of sep and i fell pregnant straight away so i am just anxious after what weve been through but i'm feelinf pregnant and i am very bloated this will be my third pregnancy my son's two and i had the misscarrige and now i am having this one.
Has this happened to anyone else? Also could the sac be further along then the baby?
Thankyou

Yes you will def be able to see your baby tomorrow. Iv just been through same experience. I had a miscarriage in july an was told to wait 3 mnths before trying again as id had the d&c but i got preg 6 weeks later so i was very anxious. I went for a scan at 6 weeks but there wasnt much to see so i was told to come back in a fortnight. The baby was plain as day at 8 weeks!! I could see the wee heart pumping away!! Iv just recently had my 12 week scan an couldnt believe the growth spurt in 4 weeks!! Good luck, im sure everything will be fine x

The sac cant be further along then the baby, BUT an U/S can be off by week, either way. I had something similar happen to me this pregnant. I was 6 weeks pregnant, was having TONS of cramping and pain, went to the ER, they did an U/S and thought I had an ectopic pregnant, and wanted me to abort the baby. I refused and left the hospital because they werent 100% sure thats what it was.
3 days later, went back, still had pain, did another U/S and they only saw a sac, and no baby. The ER doctor told me to expect to miscarry within a week or so.
I scheduled an appointment with a midwife, they saw me at 12 weeks, that whole time I was worried sick, wondering what was going on, was my baby dead, or what, went in, and heard a BEAUTIFUL heart beat. They did an U/S, and what do you know, there was my beautiful baby! The ER doc told me there should have been a baby in the sac by then, so the baby was just not developing... im soo glad I didnt listen to them, because here I am 29 weeks pregnant. SO, it could just be its not showing up (especially if they didnt do an internal that early in pregnancy) or your not quite as far you thought...

with my first I went in for a dating scan because I didn't know my LMP and it was a sac at 5wks5days, no visible baby even though it was an internal one too.
I went back at 8 weeks due to bleeding but there it was, safe and sound and visible as anything! Even saw the little heart beating. Wonderful moment!
Keep relaxing and get those happy hormones going and everything will be fine!
best of luck

I saw only the sac with a transvaginal ultrasound my first time around and the next time...a beautiful little lima bean with a little beating heart! It was awesome!
