Reassurance for those not feeling movement yet/low PAPP-A ...

I went for my 18 week appt last night and told the doctor I was feeling too good and doubted there was a baby in there at all, to which he laughed and promptly put the monitor to my stomach and immediately there was healthy, strong heartbeat.  Felt so good to hear that!  So even if you're not feeling anything yet, the baby is there after all!

 Also, I had low PAPP-A results and he said it is absolutely nothing to worry about.  Since they've been doing the test (ony a couple years) he has delivered several low birth weight babies and none of their mothers had a low result.  So he has seen no correlation between the two thus far.  Good to hear!
