Week 12 - heartbeat or not?

Matt and I were gearing ourselves to the midwife visit during week 12 to hear the baby heartbeat through the fetal Doppler. The midwife finally arrived, and she pulled out the Doppler, and she searched, and searched and searched, but we couldn’t hear any heartbeat.

 

Needless to say I was probably more concerned than disappointed. The worst scenario came to my mind. But the midwife, being a believer of Jesus Christ, reminded me to be anxious of nothing. That was a great reminder although it is hard to put into practice. Matt, however, didn’t seem to be too worried at all, as he felt the peace of God.

 

The midwife will come back in a week’s time to search for the heartbeat. The clock is ticking again!
