Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

Nope beautiful scrap that! Headaches are a sign of high estrogen which is common from week 12 onwards due to hormonal changes (placenta taking over me thinks) something like tht anyways! Xxx

Thats interesting as I've been getting bad headaches in second tri, lasting a day or two thought it was just tiredness or dehydration! Seem to be better this week so fingers crossed! x

 

[JFG]

Sorry if I've missed anything. I'll catch up tomorrow if I keep my eyes open. I've been hit with dreadful fatigue (worse than what I had in first tri) and my BP is so low I keep fainting. Seen the doctor for the fainting and a psych for the fatigue because it's related to my cousin dying. I'll update soon x

Sorry to hear you are struggling with fatigue/fainting/loss of your cousin, I know too well how the loss of a loved one can make you feel fatigued and down. Take care x

Colour me- welcome and congrats, I recognise your photo from somewhere x

I got letter about the fact my urine results show I have a infection, I have had it for 12 weeks plus as that's the reason my urine has smelt bad. On medication now, had no other symptom. Xx

Isn't it lovely Dolly! I planned on using mine once or twice a week but since having it (Tuesday) ive used it 4 times :-/ I just find it so reassuring but read baby doesn't like it? How often do you ladies use it? And do you find it sometimes takes a little longer than other times to find hb? Im sure my baby swims away as after a few seconds it quietens down until I find it again! So going to try really hard to stick to once or twice a week! Also once I start to feel baby ill rely on it less...I know this wont start til 16-18 weeks but am trying to feel for things but nothing yet! Officially second trimester today ♥

 

[srrhc]

Congrats A for 2nd trimester!

Aweee! That's so exciting!! How much is a doppler? I have a stethoscope but apparently you can only hear the heartbeat from 18 weeks and up!

 

[BeautifulD]

A.... I got mine at 7 weeks... used it every day, finally found it at 8+5 and I've been addicted since... I used it every day up until 12 weeks now I use it 2/3 times a week. And yeah even now I struggle to find the hb although it is much easier to find than it was

I don't think the doppler usage will stop until I'm feeling proper kicks

 

[Dollybird]

My hubby has confiscated mine at my agreement as I don't wanna get obsessed with it and stress myself out- only gonna use it once a week. Hopefully once the kicks start ill no longer feel the need. Colormefamous the dopplers on ebay and amazon range from 25- 60 pounds. mine was fairly cheap as i bought it second hand xxx

I rarley use my doppler cause most the time I donot. Get the HB. So every now and again ill pull it out! I found my 2 year old laying on my bed with the lotion and doppler tying to find her baby. It was too cute

 

[JFG]

I too am a doppler addict but find it so reasurring I just can't wait to feel the flutters/kicks hope i'm not waiting too long!

 

[BeautifulD]

I have had to really work hard to distract myself from using it today! My oh also said he'd help by hiding it but I want it where I know it is incase I have any sneaky goes ;-) well im allowed tomorrow night...! Btw ive read my posts saying they only hear hb for a few seconds then baby moves. Can't wait to start feeling movement either

Hi ladies! I opted to not get a Doppler. My OB has had trouble finding even one baby and has pulled out the U/S for my visits with her, so I would not want to even try at home. They are beginning to kick more often now, so that is reassuring. I do get nervous when I don't feel them for awhile, but I'd say most of that is knowing that is the only thing that told me something was wrong with my daughter when she was dead. It's very had going through pregnancy again after a very late term loss as you are always nervous something is wrong. I am so thankful the MFM understood why I wanted to keep the bi-weekly appointments instead of changing it to monthly. I don't know what I'd do if I had to wait a month between. I feel better for at least a few days after our appointments knowing they've checked everything and they look great. I think it being twins is harder too because even when I feel a kick or movement I don't know BOTH babies are okay, if that makes sense.
