Mummy anxiety meltdown

Hiya, my anxiety is driving me up the wall in this pregnancy. It’s my second pregnancy. I lost my first baby to a silent miscarriage at 12 weeks in January. I thought after the 12 week mark I would be ok but I’m 17 weeks and every little thing I’m overthinking. I had a private 16 week scan as I still felt tiny and not pregnant I convinced myself baby wasn’t growing. He’s fine and growing well I was told. But first worry is I know this wasn’t an anomaly scan but any major problems would they have picked up by this point? Second worry is I feel skinny. I haven’t had bad morning sickness since I was 9 weeks my appetite is back and even more so but I feel like I’ve lost so much weight. My collar bone is sticking out more and my face seems thinner. I’ve noticed this for weeks and today 2 people commented on my weight, when I said I was pregnant they said oh it must be the morning sickness then I thought you were poorly. I didn’t know how to respond as I’ve not been sick for a long time. Has anyone else had weight loss in pregnancy? And sorry my final question! Would you say yes or no to a home Doppler to hear baby’s heart? Due to the sheer panic of losing my first and having no signs of miscarriage I get myself so worked up for every scan I give myself a migraine. Any advice would be much appreciated Flowers

Oh and to add to my worries I’ve been told I have a front facing placenta and won’t feel little one kick for a while :(

Get a doppler. I was prone to miscarriages and therefore had to have monthly scans. But the only thing that kept me sain was my doppler. I had front facing placenta, too.

All was fine and she was a healthy 7lb baby.
