So I'm pregnant with my second, 20 weeks tomorrow, before this pregnancy I had 3 miscarriages in a row, latest being at 10 weeks pregnant. I know I'm way past that and things seem good with baby at a scan we had at 16 weeks.
But that doesn't help with the anxiety of thinking something will go wrong! I also cannot feel movements yet, was told at the 16 week scan I have an anterior placenta so pretty sure its down to this!
I do have a home doppler that I used with my first pregnancy and now with this one and up until a few days ago I could find him so easily, this morning I couldn't find a hint of him, literally no movements heard or even heartbeat at a distance!
I stopped, took some time and had a move about and then listened again and found him no problem 🤦♀️
I've tried not using the doppler but I worry and then with using it I worry, midwifes don't seem interested with me telling them my anxiety is terrible, I'm also under consultant care as my daughter had reduced movements and reduced growth, so will be telling them about my anxiety too when I next talk to them (still not seen anyone because of COVID) and also have my scan Wednesday
In meantime anyone got any tips for the anxiety or any helpful stories of the anterior placenta and movements please
