No I think the blighted ovum was a separate thing. I've seen it mentioned here before. BUT even if it were "just" a blighted ovum, I think it's pretty insensitive to imply it wouldn't have mattered. The woman experiencing a blighted ovum still experiences pregnancy as though she were carrying a baby. The body does not act differently.
I will be discussing Anna's 'miscarriage' - my heart goes out to you ladies that have suffered miscarriages (I too had one when I was 25 years old) - So just a warning that this may be triggering - but, it explains the mind set of the SJ's. I know a bit about pregnancy scanning due to my previous occupation. The SJ's said their miscarriage was 3 months into the pregnancy. Looking at the scan - it's around a 5-6 week early pregnancy scan - plus , according to JJ, it was a vaginal ultrasound (used up to 6 weeks pregnancy as it's more accurate than an abdominal one). Blighted ovums usually miscarry at this early stage and a really high percentage of women don't even know they're pregnant - they may have a period a few days later than usual. I remember a lot of other people at the time pointing out that the scan was very early on and both Jonathan and Anna have got the length of this pregnancy 'wrong' in a few vlogs - often adding weeks/months ........I didn't know the reasoning behind this at the time....and thought to myself that grief can do funny things to one's mind. Another alarm bell that should've rung was the fact that Anna was 'safe to fly to Florida' the next day. During a more advanced miscarriage, women are advised NOT to fly until the uterus is completely empty (risk of blot clots etc etc).
Jonathan then went on to get the 'Little Squid' tattoo ...... and then renamed their brand the 'Little Squid Media UK' with Companies House. They've made a 'brand' (money) from a miscarriage....not to mention uploading the video
Because people were questioning the timeline, Anna made her own video saying she was 11 weeks pregnant when she miscarried. She says the first scan was booked in when she was 6 weeks along (they didn't film that one!)- then she says she was 9 weeks pregnant but, the embryo was only 6 weeks 'grown' on the scan (you can see placenta and an empty sac). However, if you watched Jonathan's video, he said it was an empty sac (blighted ovum) and there wasn't a heartbeat detectable. Anna in her video says they had to wait two weeks for another scan to confirm if the embryo was still alive (this follow up scan is usually to tell if the sac has been 'reabsorbed' as usually happens - otherwise they will offer a D & C). Anna went off to Florida.
Right. the scan we all saw was apparently her 'second scan' - according to Anna- she says she had had another one 3 weeks before showing that there was no baby (at this point, I can't keep up with their timeline - plus the fact that Jonathan appears to have missed this filming opportunity - yet, he records EVERYTHING!)..... So, Anna talks herself into believing she was 3 months gone....
Jonathan's story : Scan at 5-6 weeks, flew to Florida, Scan on return (1 week later, according to Jonathan) - D & C booked for two days later - Anna spontaneously miscarried
Anna's Story : Scan at 3-4 weeks pregnant (which would not show on a scan) - another scan 2 weeks later (Anna reckons she was 9 weeks along at this point) - Flew to Florida, came home and miscarried at 11 - 12 weeks pregnant. Saying you were 12 weeks pregnant as a vlogger is more lucrative than saying "I thought I was pregnant but, it was a false alarm" (as many women think this with a blighted ovum)
This is why people have issues with their lies.
