I just have this nasty feeling like my LO isn't alive anymore. I have no reason to think this (no spotting, symptoms are OK, etc.). I just can't shake it.
LO was measuring perfectly at 8w2d with a HB of 170+. I did hear LO's HB for like 3 seconds behind lots of static on my home doppler at 10 weeks. I tried again at 11 weeks and couldn't find anything, which didn't help my fears, of course.
We have our NT scan in six days. I just have a feeling when we get there, we will get bad news.
Ugh. Give me some happy thoughts.

I think its normal to have those fears, I have them as well. Sending prayers for the best your way!!!!
Thanks. Actually, I don't like to use the doppler more than once a week, but after posting this, I decided to try again. I found LO's HB within about a minute (actually a little higher up than I had thought it would be).
I heard mine and LO's on top of each other, and there were two LO beats for each of mine, so it seems like about 160 bpm.
Yay.

I'm sending good vibes your way. I'm not far along but that fear that LO won't make it is in my mind. I think it is normal.

I think that if you are that worried, then you should call and see if you can get in (at least for a doppler check from an office grade doppler) earlier....I would go crazy waiting.
((HUGS)) and hope everything is okay.
