Early Scan - referred to EPU for Partial Molar
I don't think I realized the severity of this at the scanning office today. I am in shock reading about partial molars. They said my placenta looked big and my fetus - while it had a heartbeat - was measuring 6wk3days when I should be 7wks. They referred me the the EPU for blood test. Is there any hope for the baby? Or is this most likely it? The process of a partial molar looks so long and complicated 😔
If it is a partial molar then it isn’t compatible with life and you’ll be advised to have it surgically removed. This should be sent for testing so you know for sure if it was molar. Then you’ll need to be monitored until hcg is below 5. If in England you’ll likely be referred to Charing Cross hospital for this. Sorry you’re having to go through it. Hopefully it’ll just be a weird scan and turn out okay x
