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

I think dopplers are well worth the purchase. I think I only paid $35 usd or so for mine. This will be the 3rd baby I've used it with...so pretty good value for the peace of mind.

It's really nice for first trimester and early second tri before regular movement. However with my youngest, he stopped moving at 30 weeks, so I was thankful to have it that day let me tell you! Turns out I was in preterm labor and not feeling regular contractions.

Are any of you guys getting a 3D/4D scan?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Bleeding has picked up. The last lot was red and i feel like I'm about to get my period. . my back aches and i have mild pain in my front might not need that scan in the morning

 

[GingerPanda]

Rhi, I hope everything is okay!

Get it anyways. I bled an ungodly amount but babies survived it. I had cramping too.
Fingers crossed for you!

Still go for the scan anyway. I'm so sorry you're going through this, I know how scary the bleeding is. I hope it stops soon xx

 

[melewen]

I just wanted to check in and say hi! I've been totally exhausted lately and moved to a hotel downtown with DH for a conference so I've not been around much

Rhi I'd definitely go for the scan anyway. You will for sure then *know* and that's worth it to me!

I got to hear the heartbeat yesterday at the doctor! My uterus is a bit tilted so I think that's why it took a bit of time to find it and the nurse said baby is super active! DH says "yup, a marathoner just like me.." oh, great.

 

[Serenjay]

Aww Rhi.. im so sorry you are suffering a bleed.. please just go to the scan tomorrow anyway... it could be reassuring. Put your feet up..ring Dr and explain bleeding is worse they may send you straight into EPAU.. that's what they do here.. xx

Im having the private scan 7.55

Tallybee - I didn'tt think it was possible but now pregnant I'm more forgetful and clumsy than before. Definitely dropped a pan ofcookies to be put in the oven the other day. Husband heard and came running, cleaned the cookies and put them back on the pan. All while I was crying of course. Cookies still cameout ddelicious.

 

[cdelmar]

Rhi!

I dont think i will be doing the 3D/4D scan nmp. i always thought I would but I guess now that I am pregnant I dont think I want to, for no reason at all, maybe it may change???

 

[tallybee]

Def still go for the scan rhi you do hear of ladies who have bleeds then have healthy babies xxx

 

[Serenjay]

Im not going to have a 3D/4D scan, a few reasons, 1/ I dont want to accidentally see the sex of the baby.. and 2/ I find them a bit creepy.

Ahhh, I can't decide. I used to be the opposite. Now I'm unsure.

I don't think I will either, I want something to be a surprise. I'm not sure. I asked DH about it and he said he wasn't sure if he wanted to see the baby's face. But part of him is still interested. Also, I think they are kind of expensive.

Seren - I forgot you were team yellow. I've never thought of them as creepy, but I totally see that now.

Rhi - I hope everything turns out ok!

AFM - I really need to vent for a second. Yesterday was a very hard day. I had nausea, diarrhea, I hurt my hip, had a fight with my DH, a disagreement with my SD, moodiness, uncontrolled crying, and I only slept 5 hours last night. Tried to have sex and it hurt! It's been really rough emotionally. I feel like I'm no fun anymore and I get mad about the smallest things that don't even matter.

For you ladies who have already had a child, does this go away? I'm miserable. Everyone around me is miserable. Actually no one seems to want to be around me anyway accept my sweet nieces. I just feel lonely and like an unlikable bitch. Dh is really understanding and is trying really hard to understand, but he doesn't.

It calms down a little in second tri but doesn't go completely until after birth. I hate how angry I get in pregnancy.

 

[Serenjay]

Aww hun... this is a VERY stressful time for a lot of people.. not only us the mothers.. but partners are stressed too.. I dont know anyone that has had a happy pregnancy and happy relationship in the beginning..

Im stroppy, moody, always sick so cant leave the house, im bored and im boring as I have nothing to talk about.. I can't have sex for 2 reasons, 1/ im sick all the time (less today) 2/ too scared to have sex..

Im so grouchy

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Just wanted to pop in and say i think it is all over now. Everything progressed very quickly this afternoon. . don't want to be too graphic but it's definitely over now... well I'm still in a fair amount of pain etc. I will ring epau in the morning to see if they still want to scan, it might be reassuring for me to make sure it's all 'done'

First miscarriage for me but i know how incredibly lucky i am to already have my two babies

I wish you all the best for the next two trimesters and of course speedy painless deliveries at the end !

 

[Serenjay]

Oh Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Rhi Rhi I am so sorry sweetheart aww bless you I never wish this experience on anyone its horrific.. aww hunny xxx

yeah it should settle in 2nd tri Hun, but after the birth is hormonal mayhem too but I hope you feel better soon. I'm the same emotional wreck, oh is lovely but bewildered lol. It's his first so he hasn't been through it before!

Oh honey I'm so sorry. Huge hugs you've been lovely in this group, I want to wish you all the best. Thanks for your kind words

 

[Dark_Star]

I'm so very sorry Rhi Rhi. Do go get the scan, at least then you will know if the process is complete. I've experienced that before and once it was confirmed that I had made it through the physical loss I felt as if I'd turned a page and the healing could begin.

Get lots of cuddles from your little boys, they will get you through this.
