hi im new on here,would just like to say hi 2 everyoneand im abit worried as i had my midwife app tday im 21 wks 4 days,and as they was listening to my littleones heartbeat they noticed that it was missing a beat so they gave me a cup of tea,and a cpl of buiscuits,then had another listen and everything seemed ok,but i cant help but worry,ive got the consultants on fri and hopefully everything will still be ok,this is my 5th baby and i cant help feeling that somethings goin 2 go wrong as ive already been blessed with 4 lovely healthy children,pls think i just need some reassurance,and im really sorry that ive gone on abit..........

First of all, Congrats on your pregnancy and welcome to BnB!

I'm sure everything is ok hon, it might have been that the baby moved. Since it was ok after they gave you something to eat. I know its hard not to worry, I drove myself insane when two times they couldn't find the heartbeat but everything was fine. I wish you luck at your appointment but I bet everything is going to turn out great.

oh thank you,im sure it will be ok 2,i feel better now after reading yor thread its just ive never had this happen b4,so it took me aback abit,i can still feel little1 moving around in there,and everything did look ok on the anomoly scan sorry if ive spelt that wrongso fingers crossed he might of just been holding the ambilical cord,anyway thanks again,kerry

Hi hun

Welcome to baby and bump!

Congratulations on your pregnancy......

I think that we all worry if there has been a blip at an appointment, but the fact that after a drink and something to eat everything was fine, is a good thing. It could have been baby moving about at the time, they may not have been recieving the hearbeat correctly (there are loads of other noises to be picked up) it could have been due to a number of things.

I am sure this is something that will be monitored if there are any concerns but, I think it would be in your best interest to mention this and your worries to your Consultant when you see him this week, I am sure he will listen for you and put your mind at rest!

Wishing you a very healthy & happy pregnancy! x

If there was any reason for the doc to worry they would have sent you to EPU to get checked over.
