Hi Pindle,

I've had an ectopic and two m/cs, and the miscarriages (at 11 & 12 weeks) were both preceded by bleeding and pain, which progressively worsened as the pregnancy progressed. My HPG levels were not increasing sufficiently either, and the u/s were showing insufficient progress. With the ectopic I was not aware that I was pregnant until I presented at hospital in extreme pain, and found out I was 8 weeks pregnant and that it was ectopic. I had bled and had period like symptoms when my previous period had been due so had no reason to think I was pregnant.

Lack of m/s is not a sign that the pregnancy is not going well - some women just don't have it! So even though it is hard not to worry, don't panic if you don't feel what everybody else does. If you haven't already got an early dating u/s booked, you might find that getting one helps to put your mind at rest!

Wishing you a H&H pregnancy!
