My mood while writing this blog: Relieved!

I hadent felt the baby move for 2 days so my mum suggested i go to the docs...

I went to the doctors and they used a doppler to try and find the heartbeat ..... no heartbeat, anywhere. i was crying and full on hysterical!

She sent me to the hospital as an emergency and jay my partner came with me - well you can imagine what we were like - i was just crying and crying thinking that was it!!!

Got into the scanning room and had my ultrasound... baby is fine and we could see it moving around and kicking constantly!

Only reason i couldnt feel it was because the placenta was in front of the baby so when it kicked it was kicking that rather than its mummy! :-) Me and Jay have never been so relieved! plus thats the first time hes seen the baby so it was nicer for him. Could see its little hands and feet! so exciting - couldnt tell sex tho cuz it had squished itself into a corner! lol

It was such a great relief knowing everything was ok. I was so so worried. Not hearing the heartbeat usually always ends in sadness and I wsa just preparing myself for the worst.. I love my unborn baby so so much just like the rest of you lovely ladies and when I saw my lil baby kicking and punching on the screen and saw its lil heartbeating - well, I just couldnt have been happier!!

Im having trouble sleeping at night now. I just cant seem to get comfortable. Im very teird now but im still at work and havr an hour and a half left before home time. HOpefully my boyfriend will let me relax tonight and cook me a nice healthy meal so i can get some rest.

I hope your all ok! Will do another blog soon xxx
