GO, GO, GO to the doctor! I was told over and over that it's normal at that stage but I KNEW something was wrong. I went for a doppler at 18w5d (after not feeling any movement since 18w0d) and there was no heartbeat. Everything was perfect up until then. Aside from the obvious heartbreak, they couldn't do genetic testing because he had been gone so long before I was induced so I don't even know why we lost him. Please don't wait. It's probably nothing, most of the time it's nothing, (try drinking orange juice, that usually gets them moving)and I pray it's nothing, but, in case there is a problem, don't leave yourself with no chance for answers. Good luck!!!
