I feel worried and as if my feeling pregnant comes and goes. I really hope all is well. Fingers and toes crossed for you!
 
Interesting to hear what you ladies think about the dopplers. I like the idea of having one very much, but as some of you suggest, for me (a worrier), it may just make things more stressful.

I find it hard not to feel very worried about our little bean- so many things can go wrong, and even though it is just a tiny thing, the thought of anything happening to the baby just breaks my heart! I guess this is parenthood, right?! I guess the only things I can do are eat healthy, work out, and do all I can to keep healthy. The rest just has to happen on its own.
 
Hi ladies! Welcome and congrats to newcomers <3

Smallbliss I'm very sorry to hear of your loss :(

I'm also not getting a Doppler just because it would cause me too much anxiety. I already have enough anxiety. I consider it a lesson in self-control for me personally, because I like to be in control of things, and if I had one of those Dopplers, I'd use it probably way too frequently because it would help me feel in control. In reality, once we become pregnant and enter motherhood, we have to start trusting others a LOT more and therefore actually lose some control even though we have more responsibility. Isn't that crazy? Haha.

I feel pretty darn good today, too. This morning I was nauseous but it went away. I figure I am taking B6 now which might be helping. I squeezed my boobs and yep, they still really hurt- lol. So... just 5 more days until my scan!! Time is flying!
 
Welcome and congrats to the new girls! Glad to have more girls join the group.

I think it is impossible for me not to worry, I do feel better now that I have been able to have two ultrasounds and the babies have grown over the past week. My husband and I have decided we are going to tell a few close family members and friends and then wait until after my next appointment in 5 weeks to tell everyone else...I might wait even longer than that, I will be around 13 weeks. Usually the summer flies by so quick...I have a feeling this summer is going to drag on forever!
 
yay my fetal doppler just got here!
but we dont have any AAs for it. sad day i will have to ask my mom to get some when she goes out or have OH pick some up on his way home from work
i would go out myself and get some but
i have been feeling more nauseated these past couple of days
no bueno ugh i hate it it had gotten better there for a while and i was soooo happy
 
okay so i found some AAs (stole them out of the comcast remote shhh) lol
but i have a few questions

so i think i heard the heartbeat in mode 3 it averaged at 150 (at my 8+1 ultrasound it was 174) and in mode 1 it just jumped around from like 130s-180ish and i tried to count myself for ten seconds and got about 30 which would be about 180. so what i was hearing was definitely the hearbeat right? too fast to be my own heartbeat
also it kind of jumped around in my tummy over the course of 20mins or so at one point it was on the left side and then it was in the middle more towards the right kind of. is that possible?
 
jmandrews, I feel the same. My nausea has eased off in the last couple of days after really ramping up the previous week! It's messing with my head.
 
Welcome to all the new ladies, and my thoughts are with those of you that experienced losses.
I've been spotting all day with slight cramping, and it's scaring the beejebus out of me. It's been light, with no clotting, and I'm hoping it just has to do with the bm (sorry for tim) that I had this morning, as the last time I saw any spotting was after a bm, and there was no cramping. I have an ultrasound on saturday, so I don't see the point in calling my doctor (since I can't speak directly to her, would need to book an appointment) because if the worst is happening, they can't really do anything about it, right? Just scan to confirm if its happening, or if everything is good. At least that's my understanding from what I've read. I've already put myself on pelvic rest after a little bit of spotting after BD, so it's just a waiting game, and I'm no good at those. :s
 
Hugs Nicole, sounds very distressing. :( When is your normal first scan booked?
 
Saturday; it was booked as a dating ultrasound, so I've just got to wait and see.
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for you nicole :hugs:

So today I bought a pregnancy journal! I got two pages written tonight, it's actually really relaxing and in the weirdest way it feels like bonding time between me and the little bump!

And I have to share a picture of what the OH came home with today, too cute!

Hey ladies!
Sorry I have been so quiet the past few days, I was out of town with the family!

Hatethewait, Confuzion, Laura, and Smallbliss I am SO saddened to come back to hear this news. My heart aches for you all and I hope that you get your rainbows soon :hugs: Thinking of you all <3

It's a hockey jersey! Hubby and I both have the same ones so I'm hoping for an adorable 'team photo' in the future!
 
Hi all, sorry Bridget can't help you with the doppler as I've never used I've myself. I've had horrid cramping to do with indigestion the last week, desperate for my stomach to sort oneself out. I've had no spotting at all since my last period so that's good otherwise I'd obviously be worried it was something else. Started having nose bleeds, dizziness and getting really frustrated at work. I haven't told anyone yet and wondering when to... Our summer hols run July 19th-September 1st. So I'll either be 10.5 Weeks or almost 17 Weeks when I go back. Would you tell them before? Just worried that I'll go back in September with bad news from my first scan (will be around 1st August) and have to deal with telling them... Advice?
 
Can't help with the doppler I'm afraid Bridget. Perhaps post on first tri?

Jmandrews hope you are ok and everything is alright with baby x

Welcome to the new ladies xx

British Mummy I think I would wait until after the Summer Hols if you can resist telling people. That way you have had your anomaly scan so will feel more relaxed and you will have a photo to show too :) xx

The same thing happend to me at 6 weeks which made me worried. I bought more tests to make sure lines were nice and dark still. But then as soon as i hit 7 weeks 2 days along came gagging in the mornings and feeling sick all day, which is slowly getting worse. I dont feel like eating, am so tired and clothes are getting tight. So im sure that by the time you get to 7 weeks some symptoms will be back again. Try not to worry, im sure all will be fine xxx
 
Bridget you should be able to easily distinguish between your heartbeat and the baby.
Especially if you look at some you tube videos.
There's a lot of arteries in that area, easiest thing to do imo is find your pulse with your hand on your neck while you find the fetal heartbeat to check it isn't your own pulse which you hear as double on the doppler a loud beat and a quieter one in between.
The fetal heartbeat is a definite two loud beats and really is fast, 2 or more to your one pulse.
The other whooshing noise you might hear is probably the placenta.
I found the heartbeat two days ago for over a minute it only moved slightly during the time but I didn't do it for long once I found it.
Xx
