Hello all! ITs been some time sense I have posted. Heres the deal. Im pregnant for the forth time now. I went to the Dr. at seven weeks ( or so we thought) He said he saw a sac that looked healthy but no fetal pole. I have heard that this can happen and not always mean miscarriage you may just not be as far along as you thought. Has anybody else ever heard of this?

Yeah that happened to me. I was 5.5 weeks though. They saw a nice healthy sac but no fetal pole. At that time my beta was around 3500. They repeated the u/s when my beta was over 7000. It was 15000 and I saw his little heart beating. I never actually saw a fetal pole come to think of it. I saw his heart beat at around 7 weeks. Did they do another beta? Good luck please keep us posted

My sil went in thinking she was 7 weeks, they saw a sac etc, but no fetal pole, she went back two weeks later and there it was. She is now 13 weeks but they've changed her back to her original due date, she was 7 weeks apparently they just didn't see what they expected. Now the baby measures 13 weeks perfectly and there are no concerns.

I have heard of it happening. I had no fetal pole twice. good luck, I hope the baby is just taking a little longer to develop.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
