(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[DHBH0930]

I've had bad indigestion too, also that feeling at the top of my stomach like its gonna explode... Had a splitting headache all Saturday. So far I've been better since. My next appointment is in a week, no scan but I'm pretty sure they will try a Doppler on me since I will be 11 weeks, right? Are you for sure supposed to be able to hear it by 11 weeks even if you aren't "thin"? Is there a chance they won't be able to hear it still, possibly from extra padding I have there
Super excited to be in the double digits now, who hoo, 10 weeks a couple more months till we can find out the sex!!

I have a friend who is a little bigger and when they couldn't find the heart beat at 11 weeks they just sent her for an ultrasound to verify everything was ok- but I am sure you will be just fine and they'll find it. It is such an amazing experience to hear that little heart beating away!

 

[Skadi]

Ohh I can't wait to hear the heart beating! That was the one thing I loved about being in the hospital after my membranes ruptured. I got to hear Keiras heart beat 3 times a day

DHB...I can hear my babies for about a week now with my home doppler...they should be able to hear at 11 weeks with the doppler...extra padding or not..


here is my 9 week quad bump...

You should def be able to hear it at 11 weeks DBH.. it may take a few mins but I wouldn't worry about it..

I have my next scan tomorrow morning at 9am.. super excited to see baby again..

Ladies, Glad to know my skin isn't the only one going back to the teenage years [although, my skin was flawless until about 19-20] but still - never THIS bad.. Hopefully it will get better after first trimester.. I always had visions of long flowy hair when i'm pregnant - but had to cut of 5 in!!!!!!! geez.. oh well, at least no MS for me... Silver lining right?

Gromps! I agree, you did grow a little extra between 8-9 it seems. How is baby D doing? How often are you doing in for scans??

Only gone and electrocuted myself this afternoon We were doing some repairs at our new place (yet to move into) and I brushed my hand against live wires - 240v right through me. I'm fine; I didn't feel anything other than a hot "wobbly" feeling of the current against my skin, but I can't help worrying about the baby. His/her heart is a lot more fragile than mine, and a current goes through your body, doesn't it, so the chances are the baby was nearby.

I called the hospital and they'e not interested in seeing me, so it looks like I have to wait until my 12 week scan on 28th to know any more. I'm normally not bothered about the wait for the first scan, but now, because of this, I feel I need to know.

Your baby should be just fine, if you weren't injured from it, burned, knocked unconscious, etc. your baby shouldn't have been affected. Thankfully your next scan is soon so your mind can be put to ease!

I guess I'm just worried about the little heart; mine can withstand a lot more. What is 240v for a tiny little foetus?

DHBH- I am also over weight, and I saw the heartbeat at 8 weeks and 9 weeks. We didn't hear it cause they don't allow that in Ireland until 12 weeks (so I was told at the scan) but we saw it clearly. I'm pretty sure you'll hear it

Had my 12 week scan this morning. Everything was perfect, heart rate was 173 to start with, then little bubbles woke up and went flitting around in there and it went up to 188. Have just made the official announcement that we are expecting

We just called all of our immediate family and then stole the "Our family is growing by 2 feet this December" line and posted it on facebook as the caption to this photo that I took this afternoon. (We are horse people, hence the boots )

That's awesome! Glad to hear that you had a great scan!


I will be announcing the same way on facebook...the picture I took of the booties that says "our family will be growing by 2 feet..." My family already knows, we are driving up to Michigan the first weekend of June to tell his parents in person, then I will do the facebook post. I'm making sure his parents don't find out via facebook!

I probably posted these before, but these are the two pictures we used for announcing on Facebook:

This was when we went to our angel's memorial spot. I painted a sign for her to say that she was going to be a big sister, and then put my toddler Katie in a shirt that said the same thing:
