I just went for a check up ay my g.p.s and when he had a hunt for the heartbeat with the doppler he couldn't find it.
Now he tried to reassure me that it's perfectly normal if baby is lying the wrong way around but i would feel a lot better if i knew someone else had experienced the same thing. I had an anomaly scan last week and everything was fine. Is it just the little so-and-so messing with me or should i be worried?

ok, yes, that is true.. but there is a lot to be said for hearing it and being reassured by a CTG and a Midwife IMO/ IME

everything o.k. sorry should've posted sooner.
Thanks for all your concern. I waited til the next morning and went back to my doctor to ask him to try the doppler again. He did and got a healthy heartbeat straight away, he did a miniscan just to calm me down. I had managed to wind myself up into a terrible fluster. A miniscan the day he couldn't find the heartbeat might have saved a night of stress mind you.
A fright like that brings everything into very clear focus very quickly my dh was so calm and controlled but admitted after just how terrified he was.
This baby is playing games with us already, what will he/she be doing to us in 13 weeks time.....
internet connection was playing up this week so apologies again for not reporting back soon.
