Scared myself stupid! Aaaarrrggh!
So I started feeling movement at around 19 weeks (finally wooooooo) and then this week (21) after feeling lots of hard hits I was feeling nothing, I ate sweets, drank lots, lay down for hours and hand on belly but nothing. Obviously by this point I was freaked out and so after 24hrs I gave in and called mw, the local centre listened to my woes and decided all the could do was get the Doppler out so would rather send me to the main hospital (so I worry more!)
Anyway I get there and the mw takes ages to find the hb by which time even hubby is beside himself as we both think it can't be good! She did eventually find it though, thank god but I am finding this whole thing so hard, I'm still not feeling much so she's obviously a reeeally lazy baby and someone wants to make sure I really work for this pregnancy but thankfully the staff were lovely and said I could cone in 100 tines if I want too - they might regret that when I get to visit 99 but this time I really don't care I'm not leaving anything to chance in case there's something that could be helped!

Poor you, like Katy says it's going to be a frantic couple of months now and you will probably be down at the hospital 100 times more, but thats what they are there for and you should take full advantage of that. Given your circumstances you have every right to do that, crikey you see ladies in pregnancy with no history of problems that are rushing back and forth to their midwifes because they're constantly worried, you have a history that in my book dictates you have every right to do it!! You've got this far, I have every confidence you will bringing your little girl home. And if it's any consolation i've seen my midwife 3 times this week now and have another appointment on Monday!! Take care and big hugs, glad all is well xx
Really hope both of you and your appts are all good and I'm just so happy that so many of us our on our way, I'm just sorry for those still waiting, this whole experience is just draining in so many ways.
Take care all x
