Hi ya i wanted to just let you know the great news. i went to midwife she checked my blood pressure it was normal. she also let me hear my baby's heart beat for the first time and it was gr8 :) My OH had a beaming grin on his face all the time. I am so happy and reassured. We also think we have found some movements during the weekend. wow its all real to me now :) roll on 3rd sept when i get my 20 week scan i think after hearing the heart beat i will definitely find out what i am having. xx thanks for all the care :)
Awww bless!

So glad everything went well. It's so exciting to hear that little heart beat for the first time isn't it!

I can't believe you re feeling movements already! That's excellent. I'm only just starting to feel them now and I am 20 weeks today! I have my 20 week scan on Friday. Can't wait! Although I am a little nervous. Fingers crossed everything will be ok!

Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes swimmingly for you. Keep me posted with any updates!

Hello, I was the same as you around 16 weeks, it was just because I had passed all the nasty fisrt trimester symptoms such as sickness but not advanced enough to have any of the ligament pains or feeling the baby move in any way. Needles to say, everything was fine so try not to worry too much!

Let me know how you get on with the midwife. x x x
