    It sure is Melissa. I think sometimes you can fell them move and it's like hmm was that a movement or not? As Rayla said all to soon you will be wanting bub to take it easy so you can have a rest. With my last pg I didn't feel her move until well and truely 20 weeks and even then only very slightly.

    Awesome... That makes me feel much better...

    I will still get my midwife at work to use the doppler tomorrow, but I do feel much better now...

    Ijust had one those heartbeat feelings, so hopefully it's the baby telling me to stop stressing and that it is fine in there!!!

    Thanks again guys...

    Hi Mel,

    I just wanted to add that I didn't feel my first bub move until I was 20w pregnant either. I didn't feel the flutters at all, the first movement I felt was an actual kick. I was just sitting on the lounge watching the tv the first time it happened and it took me a moment to realise what I had just felt! It was like a little poke from the inside. I went and lay down on my bed and felt a couple more. And from that day on, they increased in regularity and strength as she grew bigger and stronger.

    Like Trish said, after losing two bubs, it is only natural that you will have concerns during this pregnancy. Pregnancy after loss can be a stressful time, and I think you have the right idea getting the midwife to check on bub with the doppler tomorrow. Hearing that little heart beating away will give you the reassurance that you need atm.
