Hi, just wanted to check back in and let you guys know that things are still going well. I will be 16 weeks on Tuesday! Had a bit of a panicky weekend though. Started feeling movement at 14 weeks and one day and was generally feeling the baby moving about a couple of times a day, which was very exciting. On Friday though I realised I hadn't felt anything all day, then nothing on Saturday. Woke up all freaked put this morning and texted my midwife (have opted to use group practice, which is brilliant btw) to see what she thought. She got back to me and told me she was calling the maternity ward on my behalf to let them know I was coming in. They were completely lovely about it and after a bit of searching with the Doppler finally located the baby way down in my pelvis and heard a nice strong heartbeat. Was sooooo relieved. It's awful, but I can't help but think the worst. I just have no real faith that things are going to go well, and really feel ripped off that my innocence about this whole pregnancy thing was taken from me by the previous losses. Still, one day at a time! The other midwives have assured me I can drop in any time I am worried and they will check on things, which is so nice :-)
I had a similar journey to you chinatree, and you will be ok, I know exactly how you feel. As the pregnancy progressed I found my confidence grew and I came to realise you can have a good outcome. Hang in there and I hope you are holding your little one before too long xx (well not too soon)
