I need to remind myself of why things are OK and the baby is NOT dead. First, I'm nauseous as all get out. Second, I've been having serious ligament pain, which tells me the baby is growing (not dying). Third, I *think* I might have actually felt some movement recently. I can't tell. I've never been here before so I don't really know what it feels like, but I *think* I felt some tumbling or swishing or something weird. The baby won't move too much if its dead, right?
I wish I had a doppler. That, and the name of a good psychiatrist. Oh well. I guess I'll have to settle for lunch at the Waffle House. (Can you tell I'm on a kick here?)

Oh Anna after what you have been through it is normal to worry.
If you feel you need to see the baby or hear it call your doctor tell them that you are afraid and the stress is not good for the baby and you want to make sure that everything is ok. They should be able to find a way to get you in there for a quick check up.
It's really alright to ask for reassurances.
I'm sending you hugs and hope that you feel better soon.-

i don't think you need a psychiatrist (although waffles may help!), but if you're getting frantic, then tell your dr things don't feel right and you must come in and don't take no for an answer. your mental health is worth it.

I agree with Cat and Laura. If you are getting wound up about it then that is reason enough.
Here's hoping you find some peace very soon:)
