Due Sept 2017

Rockstar- Are you ok? Are you sure it was the baby's heartbeat you were hearing and not other sounds? Like the blood pumping through the placenta?

Yeah I checked it again this morning and it was 152 I don't think I was doing it right my lovebug is good at hide abd seek already

Rockstar.. try moving the Doppler around the same area until maybe it picks up a higher HR. Mine does this sometimes! It detects the babies beat but throws out a wrong number, then if I move it literally a fraction it becomes clearer and louder (obviously where I'm right on top of the baby) and then the HR changes to high 150's don't panic! It takes a while to get use to them

Oops just seen your last reply. Glad to hear

Lovebug the 120 reading you keep getting is probably the placenta. My own hb typically runs about 90 at rest and 120-130 is usually the placenta. When you find that, baby usually isn't far away. Try pushing down a little into your belly and tilting the wand a bit and you should be able to find it fairly easy every time. It is very tricky in the beginning but once you get used to it you'll be able to do it like a pro!

Back from my scan, I was measuring 4 days ahead of my original date. So I'm now due 14th September. I would add a picture but I don't know how to do it on here

 

[Savasanna]

Congrats Dani! I'm hoping I can see my bean again on Thursday, too!

Rockstar - so glad to hear that everything is sounding good again. That fear is exactly why I opted against the doppler. That must've been so scary!

Thanks for the info I didn't realize the placenta had a hb of its own. So much to learn

Yeah I was to that was the scariest thing I've experienced this pregnancy and I honestly haven't touched the doppler since I found the hb of 152 I'm to afraid of causing myself a panic attack

I don't blame you for not trying again, Rockstar, but try to relax. I know it is easier said than done but I'm sure baby is fine

Yeah I have I just don't wanna risk freaking myself out again so Im not touching the Doppler for a long time. Maybe once more if my hubby wants to hear it or he wants to let his son hear the baby but as for me personally. Ill trust that everything ok at unless I have serious cramping or bleeding.

dOES ANYONE KNow when the second trimester actually starts my my mom told me twelve weeks, my glow app told me that it started at 13 weeks, and my other app told me its not until the 14th week im so confused

 

[Savasanna]

there isn't an exact science to it. Exactly as you found, depending on your source the second tri starts somewhere 12 - 14 weeks. My OB determines second tri at 14 weeks and third at 28, so that's what I'm going with, but I say just pick a milestone and go with it.

 

[lilmisscaviar]

I always thought it was 12 weeks but then I guess it is actually the end of 12 weeks, so technically 13 weeks. It is confusing, I know, but I just go with 13 weeks since it is in the middle

 

[AshNAmber]

Awe man! does this mean I have to tell my BF that 2nd tri doesn't actually start until the end of this week?! Because he really wants to wait until I'm in the second tri before we announce it to the rest of the world. I told him I'll be 12 wks tomorrow ( thats what my app says) and we were going to announce tomorrow night

I use my doppler maybe once a week just to make me feel better. I haven't really freaked out when we can't find lil one's heart beat because I know how little he/she is and I'm a little on the extra fabulous side so I know it can be hard to hear through all that extra loveliness. Usually we take our time and finally after pushing in on me we can find it loud and clear

 

[rockstarlove9]

Thanks Ladies, I wish it was set in stone I guess I'll just say im in the second trimester officially next week since that's week 14 and theres no question about that one. I think im starting to show already which im surprised by because most of the apps say for a ftm that you don't starting showing until sometime between 16-18 weeks so yay me... or this is gonna be a huge baby...

I was showing to myself around 12 weeks with my first. Nobody else could tell, but it was obvious to me. A lot of it is probably bloating. As far as big babies go, my son was just under 7 lbs at 41 weeks, so I wouldn't worry yet.

Thanks and I'm not sure if it's bloating or not I've had a few gas babies over the past few weeksbut i can usually tell because it's usually gone by the next morning but this little bump has been here for a few days without waiver so I'm hoping it's the baby lol but it could just be bloating. Or fat since I'm eating like a horse now������
