Morning ladies i'm in a tizz ;-(

I had my dating scan last friday, was 13+1 and i saw heartbeat, everything was hunky dory aparty from the lady couldn't get pics clear enough to do nuchal measurements but i'm having it done by bloods at 17 weeks!!

Anyway just been to see a consultant as i've got gallstones, they've said i'm ok as they aren't troubling me and i don't have to see him again till 36 weeks. I was lay down whilst he was feeling my tummy and he tried the heartbeat monitor on me, he only did it for about 10 seconds in two places but we didn't hear a heartbeat and it's really thrown me!

He was absolutley fine, i was in the ante natal bit surrounded by ultrasound machines so i'm sure if there was any worry he'd have got me scanned, i just can't stop thinking about it now tho i'm scaredf and paranoid, had stretching twinges aswell this week so i'm terrified that something is wrong!!

Has anyone else not heard the heartbeat this far on?
