I m about 10 weeks pregnant. I started having some spot bleeding. start with brown color then turned to pink blood. I went to see my doctor and had an early Ultrasound done. Then he told me they don't see the baby. I m scare but have faith. Is it possible to not see the baby that early?

I'm sorrY I don't bring good news. With a transvaginal ultrasound you can see a baby and heart beat at 7 weeks. I had spotting at 10 weeks they did a transabdomjnal ultrasound (with a full bladder) and we were able to see a baby with arms legs a hb. Chances are at this point u should have seen something there is of course always the chance their equipment is obsolete and they missed it. At 11 and 12 weeks is usually when they do the nucual fold triple screen tests and at that point the baby looks like a little person. Are
they doing further testing or another U/s ? I'm so sorry you're going through this I hope this was just a mistake and u end up with a healthy baby
