Thanks so much Tennykins, AJC, BW, Belfie and Chocolatecatty. It's nice to have so much reassurance, I think it is right that some problem may have been missed by one of the midwives and that's why they've stopped the scans.
I think that you're right Belfie, it's hard for me to believe I've got this far and there's still something in the back of my head that's saying 'this can't possibly work out'. I think I keep getting disappointed in myself that I'm still not able to fully embrace it, my missed m/c was at 9 weeks and 5 days, so I'm way past that point, but part of me still feels like it's going to happen again. I lurch from worrying about one thing to worrying about another and it feels endless. I'm glad that everything is going well for you and your bubs!
BW - yes, definitely hard to get my head around being in the second trimester now. After my NT scan the sonographer said risk of miscarriage was now 1 in 500, which really should reassure me. Still, says my mind, it has to happen to someone. I really do want to get on top of this doom and gloom worry though, otherwise I think I'll regret not enjoying my pregnancy - for so long I was so desperate to be pg again, so I should be trying to enjoy it now that I am. Congratulations on reaching 16 weeks!!
