Glad everything ok a senior midwife couldn't find mine at 24 weeks although baby did kick the doppler so wasn't too concerned smile

My paranoia got the best of me and i went up and got a quick scan to make sure everything was okay! Baby is fine and hiding behind the placenta! Thanks for the reassurance everyone x

Yes mine wouldn't try until after 20 week scan for exactly that reason!

I had my 16week check up on Friday and was told not to worry if they couldn't find it, they did find it but I can understand you being worried , I think I'd go for a private scan to reassure myself if I were you even thought you are more than likely fine .

Our area the MW don't even try till 20 weeks apparently. I think at 16 weeks it can still be very hit or miss really. Are you feeling any movements yet smile

What did the mw say?
Have you got any more appointments?
Are your dates definite?

Just that it might be too soon and theres isnt a need for a scan. I remember they heard a heartbeat at this stage with my first baby so thats why im so worried
