Pregnancy Concerns: Missing Symptoms & Fading Heartbeat - 13 Weeks

Question
Hello, I am 13 weeks pregnant.  I had a dating scan at 10 weeks and all seemed fine.  Over the past few weeks I have noticed that my symptoms started to wain and have now completely gone.  I am beginning to think I don't feel pregnant anymore and am terrified something is wrong.  My midwife tried to find the heartbeart at 12 weeks but did not find anything which I know it not unusual but did not help my cause.  I had some spotting at 7 weeks which  think has caused this paranoia.  I have not had any unusual bleeding,cramps etc just a feeling.  I am concerned about missed miscarriages.  Is there anything you can say or anything else I can do to put my mind at rest.  I can't get another scan until 20 weeks and I really can't wait that long.

Answer
There is no reason why you cannot get another sonogram prior to the normal 20 week scan. Whenever we try to listen for a heartbeat at 12 weeks and fail to hear one, we ALWAYS send the patient for a sonogram right away, just to see if the fetus is viable. I would suggest that you have a sonogram now. That is the only way to assess the situation.There is absolutely no reason for yoo to agonize for another 8 weeks.
