Hi ladies, i have a couple of questions that i hope you'll be able to help with

Firstly, i have just reached 11 weeks after 3 devastating miscarriages and as you all know, its such a worrying time. My last scan was at 9w4d and everything was fine (this was just with my gyno so no measurements could be taken etc but heartbeat was flickering away anb bubs gave me a little wave

I have had crampingon and off throughout but for the past few days i really ache in my uterus area...not quite cramps and it doesnt hurt but just aches!!? Of course, i have been worrying myself sick but do any of you know if this is normal? Also as i sit down the ache gets worse?? My 12 weeks scan is booked in for the 12th Feb and my local epu will not see me unless i have any bleeding Im just terrified that i will go for my scan and be told the devasting news that something has gone wrong (my 1st miscarriage was a missed miscarriage)

Secondly, more of a question for all you ladies in the UK.... have any of you used a heart doppler? If so which brand did you use and when did you first find a heartbeat? My midwife has advised against it but i really feel it would help put my mind at rest when i start to panic

Thanks for reading ladies Congratulations to all of you that are expecting and wishing you all a happy and healthy 9 months
