Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[ladykara]

My booking in sessions seem to get longer the more pregnancies I have !!! Due to past MC I'm under consultant care which means having to travel to hospital every time which I thought I avoided ...it's a pain.. But on a good note my hospital now tells you the sex !!! I'm so happy !!! Just have to wait now. Hopefully I'll get my 12 weeks scan within two weeks x

Lvn- I didn't think how hard it would be.. It's just been a struggle and jakes behaviour gets me so angry and frustrated. It's nice when you do meet people who understand x

 

[girlinyork]

I'm apparently under consultant care but I've not seen anyone yet :/

 

[ladykara]

I got told you don't until 16 weeks....x

Anyone having the screening tests ? We have decided to and as the tests will be done soon I'm a little worried.. X

 

[girlinyork]

I'm having the NT and bloods if that's what you mean and then making any decisions from there x

 

[LVnMommy]

ladyK I fully understand, sometimes, My son just goes into a crazy fit melt down, and the more I try to stop the fit it gets worst, then 10 minutes later, its like it never happened! it angers me when people say "why dont you just spank him or discipline him" are you freaking kidding me??? They have no idea!

I'm about 11 weeks today and I found the heart beat with the Doppler 176bpm I thought it was a bit high but apparently it's fine.. Words can't express how happy that made me x

 

[bethneebabe]

Yeah LadyKara!! So happy to hear that you can hear your LO!!! That's so exciting

I have had a rough weekend. Sleep poorly both nights and my hips are sore plus I can't eat too much or I get really nauseous. I have my first OB tomorrow. It's 90 minutes and they'll go over everything plus bloodwork. Hopefully everything will come back okay.

 

[ladykara]

Beth all the best for tomorrow... Is it results of bloods or them taking bloods? Report back tomorrow x

 

[bethneebabe]

They'll be taking bloodwork but I'm not sure what they are looking for. They refused to check my horomone levels when I had my pregnancy confirmation appoinment but I've had 2 ultrasounds so I guess they are okay I think I'll have my results Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

[girlinyork]

Ten weeks today. So shocked to have made it this far.

Kara, when I get home I'll have to update your ticker x

Congrats how exciting

I have ordered the sonoline b one should arrive today/tomorrow, did it take a long time to pick up? I can't wait to try it out!

 

[ladykara]

Mine came last Friday and for the first few days I couldn't find anything, but I googled it and got some really good tips, the baby is a lot lower down than I thought, almost behind pubic bone so started at pubic bone line and aimed down and in, started from the middle and worked out to the sides, the scan lady was more to the left when she found the baby but I found the heart beat more central. I kept picking up my own heart beat but all of a sudden there was a different quicker beat, more like horses galloping, too much back ground sound for LCD screen to pick up the Bpm but I tried after a bath and it did pick it up, tried to film it but couldn't do it with one hand. I was told its really hard this early so I wasn't worried and I think as long as you know it's very hard you won't worry so much. I used ear phones rather than the speaker. Let me know when yours arrives x

Anyone else feeling out of breath?, I'm not even doing anything just sitting and feel like I have run up the stairs !!! I read your body and heart it working 50% more harder to produce blood but its worse than when I was pregnant before x

 

[JFG]

Thank you so much that is great advice as I thought it would be higher up, just below my belly button! yeah i'm going to try not to worry if i can't pick it up as I have heard people say they didn't pick up a heartbeat until after 12/13 weeks although if I can't I will probably be a nervous wreck I will keep you posted on any progress! thanks again x

 

[mackjess]

kara - I get out of breath going up and down the stairs, which I had to do a lot yesterday since it was laundry day! I'm like good grief, this is going to be terrible when I get bigger!!

Congrats on finding the hb with your monitor. REAALLLLY hoping I get one for xmas.

 

[Lumen000]

Thats brilliant LadyKara!

I will be 10 weeks tomorrow and by BB's are significantly less tender today and have been for the last fews days....I have still been feeling like crap though but not felt to bad today. I have the first of 3 exams in 4 days and I have hardly done a thing because of how tired I am and the constant sicky feeling! I was starting to feel a bit more positive but now im not so sure! I would love to get a doppler and mentioned it to hubby who said I shouldnt bother because he says I would never put the thing down and I would probably drive myself demented with it...he does have a point although Im not telling him that...I may get one anyways I'll just see how I feel in the next couple of weeks...

I hope all you ladies are coping well...

 

[amjon]

Kara, I was getting very out of breath but its gotten better. I do think I had a chest cold or something for awhile though.

 

[girlinyork]

I get out of breathe easily. I found my baby's hb a half inch above my hairline and slightly off centre

 

[bethneebabe]

Hey ladies! Everything looks "perfect" following my OB appointment. They offered to try and find the heartbeat but said it was only 50/50 at this point. Since we just saw it last week, I said no because if they couldn't find it I would be freaking out. I'm not quite 9 weeks so I didn't want to get all worked up.

 

[monro84]

Lady--yay!! so great to be able to hear it on a doppler. 176 if you believe in old wives tales you would be having a girl.

Bethnee--so sorry about the rough weekend. Thats great your appt was good. I know about the not sleeping part. My hips and lower back is starting to hurt also. My Dh says I have been keeping him up b/c I am now kicking in my sleep and have been off and on for about a wk in a half.

GIY--yay for 10 wks only 2 left.

Jess-- Yes I have been winded latley actcually it started really early but now is back again.

Lumen--yay 10 wks can't wait for you scan pics.

AFM-- Had another scan today at FS (RE). I graduated babys hb was 153 and measuring 9.65 crl. he said everything looks great and I can continue at my regular ob. The Crl measures 7 wks I could have o'd the day after I thougt but that would put me at 7 wks 1 days but US are give or take 1 days anyways so by LMP my due date they calculated is 7/28/13. I would rather think I am 7 wks 2days though. . I have another US with my regular OB on the 20th so next Thurs. Oh and I got sick for the fist time this morning ugh not fun.

Have any of you ladies heard of the needle test you can do it when your not pregnant also. some say does not work as good when your pregnant. I had done a couple of years ago but cannot remeber what it did but I do remember it said something about twins or more.

How many children will I have?
Will they be boys or girls?
Let your higher self tell you....the needle knows ~ ~ }
Have you wondered how many pregnancies
and whether it will be a girl or a boy?
Let the needle tell you.
Here is a method that may surprise you.
What to do:

Thread a sewing needle and knot it {see picture above}
(so the needle hangs about 6-10 inches from the knot).
Hold your left hand out, palm down.
Hold the knot in your right hand with the forefinger and thumb only.
Holding your left hand still, swing the needle so the needle hits the inside curve of your thumb
(where the thumb meets the hand) three times.
Then turn your left hand over and move the right hand over the left, holding the needle just an inch or so above the palm of the left hand.
Hold both hands still and let the needle do the work.
The needle will begin to move:

Circles = girls
Lines = boys
It will stop moving completely in between each pregnancy.
Turn off any fans and make sure circulating air is not affecting the reading.
ENJOY the possibilities+++

Here is the web site.

I did it last night and I think it tells the sex of the MC also so I had a ways to go before i got to this pregnancy
(keep in mind I never had test done to find out sex)
1 mc was boy
2 mc was girl?? (i think)
3 mc was boy
4 mc was boy, girl, boy
5 mc was boy
6 Pregnancy is Girl (have not found out yet)
7th is boy, girl (future twin children???)

then it stopped and did not do anything else

Just for fun
