15 weeks pregnant after loss and still worried

[new37]

Just reaching out to this group a little.

I've had two prev MCs (both mmcs found at 12 weeks but fetus didnt grow past 8-9 weeks), I've had three very normal ultrasounds at 7, 10 and 13 weeks. And the other day I heard the heartbeat. But Now at 15 weeks and 3d i still find I'm having trouble getting happy - or believing its a real go this time. I don't know if I'm scared or just mentally protecting myself from that heartbreak I felt twice before.

Any thoughts out there about it?

would a monitor help if you were to buy something that lets you listen to the heartbeat...soon the baby will be moving and things will feel much better

I was thinking about it. My OB strongly opposes them tho. ESP for worrisome people like me. I guess bc if u can't find the heartbeat, which is common, some people tend to panic. Which my guess is - I would....

Still haven't ruled it out tho. I wonder if u can try one out before buying?

You can normally rent them if that helps. I dont think the worry gies away. I had 3 early losses and my son was stillborn. I had a healthy little girl 17 months ago and I am now 20 weeks pregnant and worried sick. I wont believe this baby is coming home with us until we bring him/her home with us.
The only advice I have is to take one day at a time. There is nothing you can do to stop the bad things happening. x

Totally understand how you feel, I have a constant feeling of gloom like something is destined to go wrong.
I have had two miscarriages in past year and currently. 13and half weeks pregnant.
I bought a Doppler online and personally it has brought me loads of comfort. I have used it every day since 11 weeks and its such a relief to hear the heartbeat. I will stop using it once baby starts moving.
Best purchase I ever made!

Do you ever NOT hear the heartbeat when you use it??? And if so - do you want to panic? I'm just afraid that i might. (sorry if i'm going around in circles)

.... and i think i might look around and see if i can rent one. I'll do it for a month and if thats a disaster - i know the answer. If its really comforting - maybe it really will get me through this.

Luckily I have always found the heartbeat. Took me ten mins or so the first couple if times but now can fund it in a couple of minutes and I only bought a cheapo monitor for £22 so its been worth it.
Good idea to rent one, you will start to feel kicking soon anyway so won't need it anymore
