Midwife couldn't find heartbeat at 16+2 weeks - could it be ok?

Just had a thoroughly depressing 16 wk appointment and desperately looking for reassurance since midwife tried for ages but couldn't find a heartbeat

I had a dating scan at 7 weeks, another at 9+4 after some bleeding and the usual scan at 13 weeks and each time everything was fine. But now I'm in a complete panic - surely they should be able to pick up heartbeat by now?!

I've been a bit paranoid because I'm not as big as I thought I would be by now (tis baby 3) but I am slowly growing out of my clothes. Now obviously I'm wondering if something's gone horribly wrong.

I have to go to EPU for scan tomorrow, but just wondering how likely it is to be ok? Has anyone been here and had a positive outcome?
