Here is the link for the Baby Doppler.

Maybe you can get a baby doppler machine.   I am 14 weeks and I looked into it today on Amazon.com.  You can use it at home to hear the baby's heartbeat.  The one I saw that had good reviews was an FDA Approved Baby Dopler machine for about $69.  

You would have to have lots of bleeding to lose the baby.  Right now you are 15 weeks, my doc said the chances of having a miscarriage this late is very slim.  She said the farther along you are the lower the risk is.  It's usually in the first trimester that that happens.    

I'm thinking of getting the machine to easy my mind.  This is my second pregnancy, but I worry too.  

Take care

I got nervous about the same thing..well not the UTI part (I've never had one) but the not being pregnant now bc a lot of my symptoms subsided & I dont look pregnant but then I started getting serious growing pains. Anyways when I called my dr he said its completely normal to not feel pregnant & unless I have bleeding or insane pains not to worry!

Try to relax and stay positive. If you aren't having any signs that something is wrong, I'm sure all is well. Call your doctor if you're really worried. As tobbeyj said, UTI's are very common in pregnancy and as long as they are treated, everything is fine. :)

UTI's are common. Stay relaxed!  Why do you think your baby is not alive? Are you having any regular symptoms?? I mean you are at 15 weeks now so the symptoms minimize in the second trimester. Maybe call you doctor and see if they can see you quickly to check for a heartbeat. My doc sees me every 4 weeks now. Routine here in Quebec, Canada. Too much stress is not good. When in doubt, call the doc.
