2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

DH is having pregnancy symptoms.
He walked in the door from work, exclaimed "I want nachos for dinner" then flopped face first into the couch and went to sleep. When he woke up he couldn't remember where he put his phone and walked around looking for it only to find it in his pocket.

That's hilarious, my husband is worried that will happen to him! I havent been able to eat as much because I get so full quick now but, he is enjoying what i leave behind or cant eat lol!

Lol ginger... I've never thought of trying that way before.

I find that if I have abit of a filled bladder it helps to pick baby heart beat up... Also stick to about where your pubic bone is and point the wand downwards towards your feet.... If you go left or right towards your pelvic area you will pick up your main artery... And in the middle you will pick up your own heart beat. It's hard to tell the difference between them, but once you hear babies heartbeat you can't deny that it is indeed it.

Try looking on YouTube for videos where the woman explains about the different things you can pick up on I found it helped a lot with my daughter x

 

[GingerPanda]

I've watched all the YouTube videos. I can't pick it up through my abdomen. My pelvic bone feels bruised from trying to get underneath it with the doppler probe.

That's hilarious Ginger!!

I sold my doppler after A. was born. I found it very stressful in the early part of the pregnancy and then didn't use it after he was moving consistently so I am not going to bother getting another for this one.

I am off to the hairdressers today with my 4 & 2 year old (god help me but I am desperate and DH is away and they were booked out of Saturday appts for a month due to wedding season) so I may or may not make it out alive LOL

I have a raging headache today and since early evening have been having shortness of breath...mostly feeling like I can't get a deep breath. I was concerned it was a blood pressure thing so I looked it up. Apparently it is very common to have shortness of breath during early pregnancy from elevated progesterone. I had no idea. Pretty sure I didn't have this with my boys. I do feel way more progesterone symptoms this time compared to my last pregnancy though. Or perhaps my age is catching up to me LOL. Anyone else having a hard time getting a good breath?

Dark star it's really about miniscule movements. It takes me ages to find it and more the probe in the tiniest of movements. It's so easy to miss. I bought it after my mmc and to be honest it caused more stress than good. I found the hb once or twice and then I couldn't find it again. Went to my 14 week scan and was convinced baby was gone. Caused so much stress and tears. That baby turned three last month.

Could you ring and fib a little about being unsure of your dates and not wanting to miss the cut off for the NT scan?? Does seem to be cutting it fine for you! GL

I am too but only when im rushing around doing things or walking a lot. I cant say it happens as much when im not doing much but, I do catch myself taking deep breathes here and there.

Haven't been short of breath no but just absolutely bloody knackered x

My sister was the same in December. She phoned up to check and they'd forgotten to pass her details to the midwife. If you just call up to check it won't be getting off on the wrong foot hun. If they typically leave it this late I bet they get loads of calls

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Think I will ring tomorrow then ta x

I'm so exhausted as well tally! I had a class last night at college, I got home at 9 and went straight to bed, slept through till 8 and have taken a nap today :/

feel so lazy
