Raw Pregnancy

I thought I miscarried in August. I was only a week or so pregnant. I had two ultrasounds in early sept., both showed empty sac, and my uterus measured 5 weeks. My blood tests still indicate HCG at low levels...decreasing little by little since September after a surge. However, I am gaining a little weight...in my waistline. I have been feeling little movements these last few days, mostly when I am sitting. I wonder if I am in fact still pregnant. My midwife says that we will not be able to detect anything on an ultrasound with this low a level of HCG(4 hundreds?).
I have been bleeding for about 9 days, with some clotting. I eat predominantly raw foods and have been doing so for a little over a year, and wonder if maybe that has something to do with low HCG levels. As I know not much research has been done on the subject of Raw Vegan diet, but I do know that it changes your alkaline/acid balance...and a lot more (for the better)! So, what else could those little movements be? Any ideas?
