Hi all,
Made, not sure if you are still reading - my thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I would certainly taken the same difficult decision having first hand experience looking after someone with SB. Not sure if this makes things any easier for you knowing others would do the same. Its a horrible situation, and I hope you have love and support in rl xx
Swifey sorry to see your news also
Congrats to the ladies who had scans today - lovely to see some positive, happy news.
I have my 16 week this week (bit early) die to MW only being available bi-weekly.
DS "powerbombed" me about a week ago doing a seat drop right onto my stomach and I have not felt as much movement since. Still getting some uterus growth (suspected) like feeling but nothing more and nowhere near as regular. I was getting what I believe were flutters prior to this.
Anyone who had a 16 week appointment (this or previous pregnancies) did they listen for heartbeat?
I am certain they did at 16 week with DS, but this was a different practise - so not sure if it changes depending on area.
Someone mentioned the motion sensor mat - I had "Angel-care" one with DS, purchased after a stint in hospital as I refused to leave unless they could loan me a monitor for a bit... thank you DFIL and MIL... Still going strong after 3.5 years of use.
DS can even turn it off himself when he comes into our room at night now he is older. Yes, 3yr old DS turns off the motion sensor as I am paranoid not to switch it on at night, to come into our bed to co-sleep 
don't judge me 
For anyone who needs the reassurance, they are a godsend. Admittedly, we had a hellish time for no good reason when DS was 4 days old, resulting in his return to hospital via A&E - but I would have ended up being sectioned had it not been for this mat.
I admit I need to stop using on a three year old - but some things you are allowed to be paranoid about for as long as it takes!
