I do want to see how bean is doing but I could be fretting over nothing, Right? Iv only got like…

I've been the exact same..I have my first scan tomorrow morning and been worried sick...my ex (babys dad) bought me a home fetal doppler and I've heard peanuts heartbeat so its really put my mind at ease :) you should try and invest in one...I check every day it's great for peace of mind xx

Iv told my boyfriend I want a fetal Doppler cuz then I'll know everything is okay and I wouldn't worry as much xxx

I was told not to get a Doppler by my midwife but I did anyway and it is so reassuring xx

I really want one but my mum just said that I won't be able to hear the heart beat just yet because I'm only 7weeks xxxx

Hearing a heartbeat doesn't mean the baby is ok. If you are seriously worried about the baby then you need to get checked out. The reason midwives don't recommend them is because it's not always that easy to find the heart(may cause you to panic) and they shouldn't be used for reassurance. Also its easy to mistake the babies heart beat for something else. So you could be hearing your arteries rather than the heart beat. I bought one at 7 weeks. Didn't use it until I was at least 16 weeks pregnant. I've only used it twice since then. Once to show my partner and another time for my mum and sister to hear. Xxx

The doctors won't do anything at such an early stage and a Doppler can be the worse idea as you can't always pick up a heart beat or often pick up your own. A scan is pointless as baby is way to small. The stressing will do baby damage you need to chill.

I felt the same before my 1st scan. I was having pains in my side and convinced somehing was wrong. My husband was so excited so I didnt let my worry show. Turned out all was fine and the pain stopped the day after the scan. It must have been caused by the worry.

I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry. Good luck. X
