Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[Diddy2013]

I'm doing okay, anxious to get through these next few weeks.

I'm supposed to have a Doppler done at 12 weeks. Is it easy for doctors to find a heartbeat with this? (I know nothing about them) what happens if they can't find one?

12week is early for a Doppler most don't work till about 16week

Lol now I'm wondering why they scheduled me to come back at that time, she wanted me a week sooner but it didn't work into my scheduled so I pushed it back. Maybe I'll call and ask more about it.

Yes I don't understand at all why so early it is possible to pick up at 12week but not always midwifes don't usually try til they know that it will work, mine was at 16week I don't see them much as it's my 2nd so next apt at 28weeks lol how long now til your 12week scan?

Less than four weeks till 12w, but no scan just Doppler. I actually just got a letter moving the appointment a week back. But I have no idea when they will do another scan...probably not till close to 20w?

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Don't u get the 12week scan there? We get one at 12 and 20week in UK

 

[Diddy2013]

Because I had a previous miscarriage, they did an early scan at 7 weeks. Far enough along to hear the heartbeat basically, also to ensure it's not ectopic. Then it's entirely up to the doctor or how many scans you have. They told me I wouldn't get one until the anatomy scan. (18-22w)

My office does do a free scan and it has to fall between certain weeks and the ultrasound tech has to be available. But you can't schedule, either they're open or they aren't. Lol

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Not good it doesn't matter here, I mean I had the early us. In fact I had two since first didn't show anything and it didn't affect me havin a 12week one as they do that for dating

 

[Diddy2013]

I'm trying to go with it, but I've never made it this far in a pregnancy so I only know information from looking it up really. Keep hoping for symptoms so I can relax.

Relax and everything will be fine Diddy. I just got a private 12 week scan here. All was fine HB was 164.

Can you look into that as an option?

Hows everyone else?

Just relax and everything will be fine once you hit 12week you will feel a big relief I know what it's like kind of thou I was so anxious of losing baby this time with all stress from DD I worried a lot I found it weird because I never worried or anything with dd. I have the reassurance now of feeling him move as each day he seems to become more active, little monkey wouldn't let me sleep this morning lol but it feels so good feeling him kick

Where Is everyone, me and diddy seem be takin over this thread hehe

Do we get to see a pic congrats on a good scan I'm sad I won't have any more without paying lol but I do plan to pay for a 4d one around 30weeks lol 20weeks is too long without seeing him again

 

[Diddy2013]

I got my 12 week appointment scheduled for two days before thanksgiving. I told them I'm anxious to hear a heartbeat again and asked what they do if the Doppler doesn't pick it up. Basically they have portable ultrasound they'll use to take a look. Why don't they just start with that??? Seems like it would save time and worry then trying to use the Doppler.

Glad everyone is doing well. Three weeks and hopefully I'll stop worrying so much!

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

I just booked a last scan which is gonna b 24weeks, on Sunday 23rd November can't wait just waiting them let me know what time. It will be £80 for a 4d hd live with CD of anything from 60-150 images plus some moving images on dvd and 2 prints

 

[Diddy2013]

I sort of want to do a private scan but my husband said no lol :/ I should just go myself and be like I don't know what this bills for!!

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Private scans are so much better than nhs ones now if my partner was here I don't think he would like it either

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Who wants to hear something totally crazy and almost seem impossible?

My sister finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl at 5am this morning, she was due to be induced Thursday lol but here's the crazy part, she was born in her waters. Who knew that was even possible, I didn't lol mum and baby was kept in for 12hours because baby had done her first poo in her waters and they had to be sure she hadn't swallowed any. I just think it's weird never heard of it before.

 

[MolGold]

Oh yes that's definitely news Glad both mom n daughter are doing okay ! Congrats on your new niece Mummy

 

[Diddy2013]

Wow that's totally rare!! Glad everyone is doing well!

Hey girls,

Just quickly dropping in to say my blood work came in, and the results are - LOW RISK!

The baby has 1/12000 (.01%) chance of downs and 1/54500 (.000~1%) risk of Edwards Thats really better than I thought! Phew, what a relief!
