I have a hi bebe. It doesn't have a display but I highly recommend it. I found the heartbeat at 9+6.
 
I believe it's called Baby Trends or Baby something. It's just a pocket one so it doesn't have a display. We found the heart beat at 10 weeks.
 
LoveCakes - I've got an Angelsounds monitor and I heard the heartbeat from 8+5 on it. It's a really cheap one and doesn't have a monitor, but I reliably hear the heartbeat every time I try to find it and recorded it on my mac yesterday with a cable you connect from the doppler to the computer. I keep replaying the recording over and over and grinning from ear to ear.

Outrageously emotional anyone?

I cannot stop crying today! I think I'm broken.

I have the same Doppler and it is great I found hb at 9 weeks and find it straight away now.

Squirrel how do you record the heartbeat? I bought mine over three years ago for dd so have forgotten lol
 
Good luck at your scan WanaBaba!

Mine came with this white cable with a jack either end that I plugged from the doppler into the audio input connection on my computer. I then opened Garageband, made sure it was receiving input from the doppler and then recorded a track. I was annoyed at myself, because I didn't check the input first and recorded the sound of me trying to find the heartbeat from the computer's mic - so all it picked up was me breathing and my cat purring! I had heard the heartbeat so clearly, so I was really annoyed, but decided to try again and luckily found it in exactly the same place for a long time. Its moved up from lower down to a few inches above the hairline now. Exciting!

9 weeks today for me, my nausea is a little less at the moment, hoping thats not a bad thing, do feel ill if i dont eat and mega constipated!

OH has brought me some fybogel, I had to go to bed at 7pm the other night as felt so ill from constipation....

Roll on 2nd tri!!! :thumbup:

I contacted the midwives here on new years eve, but didn't hear from them until last Friday; I was 10 weeks (ish???) last Fri!! My appointment isn't until this afternoon (a whole week later, so now I am 11ish weeks)

They really don't do anything until 12ish weeks anyway, and even then it is only like a monthly check up for ages, so try not to stress tooooo much! Xxx
 
Squirrel I have been crying at everything for a few weeks . Granted it's been a tough week but I was crying at secret millionaire yesterday . Hubby was laughing at me.

Thanks for the feedback on the doplers, I'm off to investigate. I just want the peace of mind
 
Good ultrasound and appt with regular and high risk OBs today!! They indeed performed NT scan and combined with blood tests, we are good to go, no issue. Very relieved. Babies were quite active (mommy had to eat between appts). Actually baby A was covering its face and tech had a hard time getting a pic of nasal bone. Baby B was super bouncy and tech couldn't get the heart rate. Lol little troubles.
 
I feel like I need a good cry. I get feeling like I could start, but always at weird times - like spin class. I'd like to just get the crying release out!
On another note, we DTD and whoa, it is so good. Pregnancy sex is the best!
 
Congrats on a great appointment flagirlie!

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting for their appointments and scans. I hope everything goes great for all of you.

As for me, I'm still feeling so sick every day. Zero energy with the constant nausea and sick feeling. I wish I could say that the end of the first trimester will bring a change, but experience tells me that this could go on for a couple more months. Blech!

ETA: I forgot to mention that I dreamed I had a baby boy last night and I was feeding him. I don't have baby dreams often, so it was kind of sweet.
 
What an exciting time at the moment with everyone having scans.
I think I'll have a scan next Friday at my OB appointment, not quite sure as I've already had an early scan on the 9th.

At the moment while I have no morning sickness I'm struggling a little with the heat wave that's hit melbourne for the last 3 days. The kids are struggling a little as well with the heat but I think everyone in melbourne is with it being over 40 everyday
 
I finally got to meet one of my (two) midwives today! :-D was just a fairly boring booking appointment, BUT she found the heartbeat!! I wasn't expecting it, cos they often don't try before 12 weeks, but she said she could usually find it so gave it a go! Woohoo! There IS actually a baby in there! I am not just imagining it!!! Lmao.

And I won't be having any scans till 20 weeks-ish. :-D

She laughed at my LMP! She had to put a fake one on the form for the bloods and scan etc (with a note about my real one) cos otherwise they'd just throw it back to her! Bahahaha. She thought it was pretty awesome though, so that was cool. :-D
 
I had a baby dream last night it was a scan photo but you could see that they was a boy! They was a mini OH!

Not doing so great the last few days. On my way to my Grad school class tonight, I got into a minor car accident. Hit some poor old lady driving the car in front of me. Everyone is fine and minimal damage, but needless to say, I was late for class. Got results back from our exam last Saturday and received an 88%, which isn't bad until you hear the class average was 94%. It took every ounce of energy I had not to burst into tears, but considering the fact that half the class is half my age, I had to fight to keep it together.

To make matters worse, I get an email with the results of my first blood and urine test and it shows that my blood sugar levels are elevated :(. So of course my OB wants me to go in for the two hour fasting glucose test, which is normally not done until like week 24 or later. I will go in tomorrow morning after dropping the kids off to school to get it over with. Gestational diabetes was never a concern with my first three babies, but this is also the first time I have started out a pregnancy over weight. I am terrified at the thought of having a complication on top of the fact that I am already at risk because of my age. And it really sucks that I haven't seen my husband in almost two weeks :cry: Luckily, I will reunite with him tomorrow night when we meet up with him in Las Vegas for my oldest daughters gymnastics meet this weekend... And my sister is coming, who I haven't seen since me and DH tied the knot last June. So glad I have something to look forward to. And I know my daughter will kill it this weekend! Go Brittany!!!
 
Had my scan this morning! 1 baby measuring 8 + 3 so my adjusted due date is 26th August!

Get another scan in 4 weeks!

Thankyou Hun the scan went great :) One healthy little active baby on there :)

Haha sorry Hun but that made me laugh, it sounds just like something I would do! I'll have to remember to check the input first haha.

Aw it's so exciting when baby moves up a bit isn't it :cloud9:
