Second Trimester - Doc said " I am sorry, but, I can NOT see the baby"

Before I start retelling my story, I would really like to thank everyone who took some time out to read what I had to say, it's a definite confidence booster and an instant pick-me up! 

Now back to the story, I have been drafting this post for a while now and it has made me realize that the events of my 2nd Trimester can not be told in a single post, there is far too much to write about, hence this one is going to be a served in several courses :)

April 20th 2013 : Probably one of the longest days of my life and also the scariest, I had my 3rd Ultra Sound scan and the doctor said " I am sorry, but, I can NOT see the baby", all hell broke lose, you see the baby is surrounded by life protecting Amniotic Fluid, which is rich in proteins and acts as shock absorber for the baby, it also facilitates an Ultra Sound, if this fluid level comes low, a scan would yield nothing as it happened in my case but the main question was why would such a thing happen to a healthy 28 year old?

The answer to that question my friends is not that straightforward but it's loosely related to the point two of my previous post. I shall continue after a short break, hang in there, the next post would deal with the sequence of events leading to this bombshell and then what happened later. Got to go now, baby is crying.
