LVN and Dolly, we are all around 15 weeks. Got my sonoline B in the mail today. Only tried it for a few minutes since technically I'm working from home today. Heh. Anyway, I got what sounded like the HB in the 120s. What are your heart rates usually at? Or do you have a number on yours. Not worried about my number, just wondering if I really found it so fast! It sounded like the HB does at the OB.

I heard a wooshing in the 90s and I'm assuming that was my artery.

 

[mackjess]

It doesn't help I couldn't turn it up very loud. My DH came home today sick with the flu so I don't want to disturb him. And it's so full of static when you are looking for it I didn't want to use ear buds.

Congrats lvn!! So many blue bundles coming

 

[Dollybird]

Mackjess I watched a vid on you tube in how to find hb- it was great cause it also let you listen to other sounds that you might hear and how to differentiate between them.. 120 may be your artery.. Baby is usually between 140-170. And it's like a train! I will see if I can find the link...xxx

Think that's the one. It's brill. I need to change my ticker I'm meant to be 15+2 but for some daft reason I don't wanna change it.. Almost feel superstitious about it! Daft really xxx

 

[mackjess]

it was it, but the bugger kept moving so much it didn't have time to getthe heartrate. got him clocked in the 140 to 150 range last night. I think the longest I could stay on it was 5 seconds. he Is always really on the move.

 

[Dollybird]

Aw brilliant!! Glad you found him! I used my Doppler again today which breaks my "once a week" rule.. Was quite crampy at work yesterday though so felt a bit paranoid.. Think the cramps must've been a mix of growing pains and gas! Anyways bubs sounded just grand. Got midwife again a week on Monday, looking forwrd to hearing hb through her Doppler.. And only 5 weeks till my next scan!! Xxx

 

[Dollybird]

I can't stop eating today!! Lol. Was the same yesterday up until about teatime.. Starving!! But at teatime it vanished and I began feeling queesy again! Wonder if I'll be the same today... Xxx

 

[LVnMommy]

My babys HB is 150-160 and is 2-3 inches under my belly button to.the right. Always in the same place! I found out yesterday I do have an anterior placenta! That explains why I. Not have a HB on my Doppler till 13-14 weeks! Baby was moving like crazy in US the turned his back towards us the rest of the time little booger! Feels so good to say he!

 

[mackjess]

Doesn't it LVN? Every time I think "he" or "son" I just walk around with permagrin. People at the grocery store or where ever look at me like a nutball! LOL.

There was a baby store going out of biz, they actually close today, so I got the baby bedding this week. We have also picked out his name.

Finn Patrick Leary. We haven't decided if we are going to go with Finnigan Patrick Leary or Finnean or Finneaus. But it will be Finn for short. Or Fynn. You get the gist.

lvn--congrats on the blue bump yay one if each I about know the feeling of hot summers. I live in central upper MS it gets so hot here. At least I live in a house that has a good air conditioner now. I know when I do the doppler I was able to get the hb in the same spot in the mid of my lower abdoman but I did it this weekend and I could not find it so I went further to the left and I found it loud. I have heard that the baby has a favorite spot so I guess my likes the left I think they also said it is usually the same side that you O from and I did O from my left side.

kelly-- would you want a boy. If you do maybe you will get lucky. hoping your starting to feel better.

GIY--I have had that discharge also however I had a huge glob of yellow ewcm the other day which I know can be from your mucus plug but was kinda worried it was comeing out but I googled and it said it was most likely normal. I know over here you can get copies of the scans that are done at the hospitals on cd's for the computer you just have to pay like $20 for it. Maybe you can get one if your able to over there and go threw the scans. I know I would. I am trying to think of anyway I can get a scan done eithr hospital or at drs on my visit at 16 wks 2 days to ck for shortening of cervix. But the dr said last time my scans were so good that I did not need another next time.

srrhc--I know I cannot wait to start buying things but I want to know what it is first.

jess--oh I like the name. It's very irish isn't it? Is it family or you just like the way it sounds.

AFM-- Tired, and stomach growling but not hungry. My dh rolled over this morning and was holding my stomach and he said wow that is hard. I said yeah thats what it does however I have ben noticing in the morinings when I wake up my stomach is always hard then it goes softer during the day but there are times when I can feel it tightening up randomly. I have read its braxton hicks but wouldn't it be to early or them? I cannot wait to find out what I am having. I kinda feel like once I find out it's official. I will also anounce it on FB then. I hope a girl b/c of the reason my dh wants a boy lol. But really the main reason is it would be the only one in the immediate family and close outer family however I would love a boy too. For some reason I think a boy would be easier then a girl. And our plan or a boy first to watch over his sis would work if (the second is a girl.) I really think if it is a girl that he will want to try right away for a boy so they can be close in age and he can still watch over her but I think I will need a break from pregnancy for a while lol.

Monroe - When do you find out? It is so much fun to start planning and thinking about stuff after you know. I'm Scottish and DH is Irish, so I wanted something from that region for a name. We went to Ireland a year a go to see where DH's family was from and I absolutely loved it. The whole family went, and we went around the entire island and stayed at a different B&B on the coast every night. Pretty much the best trip of my life, so it really influenced our name choices.

Right now I only have hip pain and some bloating. Not a lot going on with symptoms so I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

Turns out my Dh company is.shutting down after we moved all the way here... I.guess we will.be Moving back! And im going to have to get a job!

BH start painlessly at six weeks but you don't notice them until you get bigger and they don't hurt until like third tri x

 

[A1983]

Monroe im having a private scan in 2 weeks to check cervix length-just my personal choice for peace of mind. Ill ask if they can check it again at 20 nhs scan but they may so no but ill try and work on them!

 

[srrhc]
