Q: Retroverted/tilted uterus - ultrasound drama...Anybody?

I had yet another trans vaginal u/s today at 7w+1d. The doc saw tiny flicker but it was so weak to be characterized as heartbeat. The baby measures about 7 days behind. Nonetheless she put the D&C on hold ...which is great!

I read online and many women say is difficult to detect the heartbeat and measure the baby with Retroverted uterus. Some of them even said they couldn't see heartbeat till week 11.

Does anybody here has some experience with Retroverted uterus followed by ultrasound drama?

Thanks ladies xxx

When the heart first starts going it's not that fast I'm guessing since your baby is a little behind the heart just started, it's good that the doctor saw it. Did they schedule another ultrasound for a week or two ahead? With a uterus like that it's very hard to see and get good pics of baby. You should stop stressing and worrying yourself so much, it's extremely bad for a pregnancy and especially on your little one.

I also asked for second opinion. The second doc didn't see the hb either (6w5d) BUT said since I don't have any miscarriage symptoms to wait another week before I do the D&C. So, this is exactly what I am doing now. Hope the hb shows up at the end of this week...there was a flicker (some pulse) yesterday but too weak so be detected by the u/s as a hb ...something was moving nonetheless, unlike last Friday. Well see ..

I have a retroverted uterus and have never had a problem with it, I had a lot of scans with my first pregnancy due to bleeds, a lot of them were from 5 weeks on and we cld see bub everytime, but everybody is different, hopefully things turn out n there's a strong lil bean in there :-)

Hi baby3tokrys, when did you see your baby's heartbeat (which week)? I am going for another u/c at 7w5d and I am worried my doc will say there is nothing or it's too weak to survive....

I'm soooo glad to hear that you got to see the heartbeat!!! I've been following you and was so sad and confused to hear your problems and the dr. thinking so quickly to schedule a d&c. Seriously so happy for you!

where i am from about 3 years ago there was a massive scandle where a ultrasound machine was nt detecting early heartbeats and many women were given d n c s and pills to have a loss.when a couple of women asked for second opinions after been told there was no heart beat.so after this i would always ask for a second scan to confirm..hope everything works out for u..
