I'm 15+ weeks in my 6th pregnancy (I have three children & have had 2 miscarriages one was late :( ). I don't do pregnancy well.

I'm feeling desperately unwell - puking, constant nausea, sore breasts, utter exhaustion, tearful - this was an unplanned (but not unwanted IYKWIM) pregnancy and whatever happens it will be my last pregnancy.

To cap a really crap weekend I couldn't find the heartbeat with my doppler earlier (have been listening twice a week since 13 weeks). I'm very fat (the weight is dropping off thanks to the sickness) & it is never easy to find but I had a good go earlier and though I thought I hear movement (wishful thinking?) I could only find my heartbeat :( Scan 3 weeks ago was fine & I have another scan on Tuesday but it seems like a very long time to wait.

Just wanted to vent, I don't have anyone irl to talk to & don't want to dump on my dh :(

aww sweetie!!

Tuesday will be here in no time, maybe you could try again later when baby has finished fidgeting or changed position. Then maybe contact your MW if you are still worried.

Remember DH are there to be vented at when you need to. He did put it there after all! But ofc MN is here too and is sometimes more therapeutic to write it down anyway. I hope you feel better soon.

thanks Catherine.

Haven't managed to eat anything so far today, I has a tiny bit of juice & spent 20 minutes being sick, it's just awful :(

I had another listen & still couldn't hear the hb - lots of what I think is movement & placenta sounds but will just have to wait for the scan tomorrow.

I haven't said anything to dh, he has suck an awful time when we lost our son, I don't want to worry him until I actually know what's going on. I have to go to the scan on my own though & that's scary :(

Very glad you found the heartbeat again! They love to scare us sometimes, don't they? A doppler is priceless though 99% of the time - I love mine.

I'm glad you found it :)

Now you can relax and look forward to your MW scan tomorrow.
