Awww thank you ladies! 
It's such a relief! The moment the tech put the probe on my belly I immediately stared hard at the screen looking for the flickering of the heartbeat hehe and then when I saw it a huge wave of relief washed over me! 
The dr said at this point for me, my chances of mc are less than 15%. So while I know that's not zero, it's still a lower number than it was last time so that's good. 
They are gonna see me back in 2 weeks for another scan to again make sure baby is still doing well then a week after that they are sending me to a high risk specialist to run tests (mostly genetics testing) to make sure that everything looks good with me and baby especially since I will be turning 35 before this baby is born which puts me technically in the range of "advanced maternal age" which of course carries it's own set of risks. I'll only see the specialist for tests then come right back to my dr's office for the remainder of the duration and birth of course. I'm really happy that they are keeping such a close eye on me and this baby and being so proactive to make sure all is well and will do anything and everything possible to sway the odds in our favor of a good outcome. I feel so very blessed to have such great drs looking after me and be receiving such great care! 
I wish everyone could be looked after this! So that's the details from my visit and for now I'm ecstatic and relieved to know that my little gummy bear is doing great!

Come on Munchkin! PMA! We've had nothing but good news so far, and you saw baby's hb on doppler so I am sure yours will be no different!
I wanna try to start thinking positive that we're all gonna make it to 2nd tri together! 
What a great appointment PrayingP!! It feels so much better when your doctor is so proactive!
I'll be turning 35 too before the baby is born. Oh my! I don 't like I'm of "advanced maternal age"! Can we turn back the clock a little bit? ^^
Muchkin: you too you'll be fine. We'll all go through this together until labour and birth! Remember: PMA all the way!

Thanks ladies. I'm pretty positive about the nirm 12 week scan, it's the cardiac one bricking it about!! I'm turning 35 2 days before the due date!! Are we all the same age??
Praying pixie is it the mc that puts you high risk or something specific? I'm really chuffed with my medical team too. Feel like I'm really being loss after this time x

Aww Munchkin, remember what you (I think it was you) told me not too long ago! Different pregnancy, different baby. Gotta try to think positive!
(I know, I know, I'm one to talk lol!) I think it's both honestly. The recurrent mc/mmcs and the fact that I'll be 35 before baby is born. So since I have both working against me, they are doing everything they can to look after baby and I.That's even what the dr said today. Due to both my history and my age that they want to do everything possible to try to sway the odds to be in our favor for a good outcome.
And yes, it looks to be that we're all the same age! Who'da thunk?
Ummi, yeah I'm with you on that!
When the dr said that to me I winced and was like eww don't say that (of course he wasn't trying to insult me and said it very gently)! Now you're making me feel old! But yeah it is kinda a creepy and sobering realization.

Nessaw, you might very well be the oldest among us. 
Not that there is anything wrong with that!! I'm happy that we all might very well make it to 2nd tri together!

Yup! We should all stick to 29! 29 yo mummies with red and blue belly buttons and a fast forward/rewind option. Mmmmm... Where's the remote control??

Don't worry Nessaw I'm already 40!
So happy for your great scan Pixie! Wow, your doctor's are really taking care of you---must be nice! Still feeling awfully neglected here. You'd think at 40, pregnant with twins, and with three prior miscarriages I could get some better care. Hphmf!
Happy weekend everyone!

LOL Ummi! I like the sound of that!
Mowat, wow.. now I really feel like a heel and did not mean to gloat.
I'm so sorry! I'm shocked that with you obviously being very high risk that they aren't watching you like a hawk! Are you in the states or the UK? If they aren't taking proper care of you, if I were you, I'd complain (and you have every right to) and/or find another dr who does care about their patients! There is absolutely NO excuse what so ever for patient neglect like that! 
Especially when you have a 40 yr old who is pregnant with twins, and has a history of 3 prior miscarriages! I mean come on! The dr's office I go to is a multi practice with several drs and 2-3 midwives and they have TONS of patients and are ALWAYS busy but they still stay on top of things and take care of patients (like me) properly! So your dr has no excuse what so ever! That really makes me so mad! 
You deserve to be properly taken care of and a dr who is proactive about your care!

Well it took me about 20 minutes but there's definitely something in there with what sounds suspiciously like a heartbeat!! It's about 162. Happy with that.
