Hello.

I recently had an early scan as we have had problems in a previous pregnancy. this is my 4 th child. our first son sean did not grow properly and had anacephaly-his brain did not grow. we ended the pregnancy at 24 weeks as we was told he would die within a few days and basiclly be a vegetable. we have 2 healthy children, sophie 19 months and leon 9 months old.

I am now preg again n we are very happy about this as had only been trying for a month! however at the early scan they said i was measuring 5 weeks and not 7 weeks like i should have been and there was also no heartbeat-i was told it was too early?

has anyone else had this problem and what was the outcome? Ive heard stories about people whos babies stop growing so therefore its a missed miscarriage etc? does a 2 week difference in size matter at this stage does anyone know?

thanks!
