  There's nothing wrong with you- it is natural to worry! Like you, my placenta is anterior, I can feel lots of movements but they are not that strong and I am often tempted to poke my bump to try and get the baby to wriggle! My husband tells me to leave the poor child alone. I've never tried using a heartbeat monitor myself, but I've heard that they can be quite tricky to get the hang of, and can cause you to stress even more. As long as you are feeling movements every now and again, you can be confident that the lo is ok.
  And while it can't have been much fun fainting at work in front of customers and so on, try to take it as a sign that your body is very definitely flooded with hormones and having to cope with the demands of a normal pregnancy!

  I don't think there is a pregnant woman out there who doesn't worry about their unborn baby!! You're not alone. I also worried all through my pregnancy that the baby might not make it, but remember the chances are excellent for you to reach full term...is there any reason why you should think otherwise?
  
  I'm 32 weeks now and starting to relax because my baby is a hyperactive little thing and constantly on the go so I know she's ok.
  
  As for you fainting, have you had your iron levels checked yet? If you're ok, I suggest lots of cool fresh air and water next time you feel queezy. You are gona be fine hun, stop worrying and think of the miracle inside you!
  
  Take care now, Karys xxx

  Hey Carly, hope you're feeling a wee bit better today ?
  You know me I'm a gold medal worrier. Infact I think I'm in training for the olympics. It's completely natural to worry. Just try not to worry yourself sick.
  As someone else suggested might be worth getting your blood checked just in case. Suz x

  Hi Carly, its hard not to worry when its something so precious but try and enjoy it while you can.
  
  I am 33 weeks and still cant find the heartbeat with my listening thingy! all i hear is my own guts swishing, so dont worry about that.
  I would go get your BP checked, fainting is normal and nothing to be concerned about but you may have low BP or anemia which they can help you with. I been docs today as im feeling dizzy and hot and she said i have low BP, theres nothing to do but rest but its nice to know why you feel how you feel!
