I am 17w today... but I havent felt any flutter movement in about a week or so... I went to the doctor last week and things were fine but.for some reason deep down I feel some thing may be wrong with my baby... I have had 4 mc and 1 stillborn(which was about a year ago).. at that time I was dignosed with MTHFR. So with this pregnancy I have been taking lots of folic acid.. asprin...heparin injections twice a day... prenatal vitamins..  along with my b/p med..I can't sleep or do anything for that matter because I keep thinking something is wrong... idk what to do... I have an appointment next week but I just don't know if I can go the entire weekend this way... help??

I had my daughter in January and she was stillborn. I would just go to the er get checked just to ease your mind. I've done it myself this pregnancy and im now 32weeks. Good luck and keep your head up.

Sweetie I've had 2 stillborns myself and yes very worrisome. I in fact rented a heartbeat Doppler last pregnancy and this one I still have it. Its a piece of mind for me anyways. Your still early on also so sometimes you may miss a movement. Good luck and if anything go to fror your peace of mind so you know baby is ok!

If yout worried about movement try to eat something cold or sweet and lay down on your left side and see if u feel anything right now your only 17w so u still won't feel all of babies movements. But if u really are worried something is wrong u should go to er to ease your mind that everything is ok.

try not to be scared. I think it is only normal to feel the way you do after all your losses . Ive had 2 losses and im currently 13 weeks and Im nervous too . but I have seen many successful woman have healthy babies after a loss .

If you go to the er they can do a scan to check on baby, maybe you can get a doppler for at home?
