Perhaps a silly thread

I know I worry too much but I'm sure most of u are the same so I feel i can ask questions on here.

I am 14 weeks 2mw & had my 12 week scan- all was fine.
But from now until my 20week scan how do I know that everythings still ok?

I know it's a nightmare!!! I have a doppler and listen in everyday so I know my LO is sounding ok. Have you thought of hiring or buying one? Mine really puts my mind at ease. Also when they start moving that's when your mind starts to ease a little

i worried about this constantly , all i can say is hopefully you will start to feel the baby before the 20 wks, i also opted for a 16 wk scan which i paid for just because i only had a scan at 8 wks so i felt like it was soo long to wait.
also in the meantime ull be seeing the doctor or midwife so ull hear the heartbeat. some girls have bought there own dopplers so that makes them feel better. there is no solution to our worry , its like built in. but some of these things help. i personally dont have the doppler bec that would make me worry more if i couldnt find the heartbeat which can be tricky.
as a general rule, if you have no bleeding or sever pain you should be okay hun. heres to worring together !

Its not silly! inbetween Scans and MW's appts i am always thinking "what if somethings happened to the baby", I had 12 week scan and then MW appt at 16 wks where we listened to heart beat and then i have my 20 week scan in 3 weeks. So for this last week i have been thinking along these lines too! I'm going to book a 4d scan for when i am about 25 weeks, can't go from 20 weeks to 40 weeks without seeing bubs again!

Ahh thanks girls!

See this is the other thing, I had my scan at 12 weeks & now it doesnt look as if Im seeing anyone until my 20 week scan.
Should I be seeing someone in between??

Yes I had my 12 week scan on Thursday and I was told to book a midwife appointment for 16 weeks were I guess they will check out heart beat etc etc to check everyting is still O.K.

Maybe you should give your Dr or miswife a call.

I think it varies from country to country, I know that I see someone every month, so I saw someone at 13 weeks, will go again (next week) at 17 weeks and they will schedule my scan than.

I agree, I´ve just had my 12 week scan and I´ve got to see my midwife on the 11th Feb. She checks my blood pressure, weight, and bump´s heartbeat. Presume I´ll visit her every month. My next scan is 3rd April.

My midwife never checked the heartbeat at 16 weeks

What about the 16week scan to determine the gender? my cousin just went for hers yesterday. Mind you we're in Aus so it could be different.
