You will feel better once you start to feel LO move. I avoided getting a doppler because I was worried it might freak me out more, but now that LO moves quite a bit I feel a lot better. Even on the days when LO is really much quieter, I have found I am a lot calmer. I think your worries are very normal.

It's normal to feel anxious hun, but try not to worry yourself too much. If the midwife doesn't offer to listen to the heartbeat then you are perfectly within your rights to ask her to do so. As some of the other girls said, you will fee reassured once bubs begins to move, but in the meantime a doppler may be a good idea, as long as you remember that the heartbeat can sometimes be quite tricky to pick up, especially in the 1st half of your pregnancy.
