I have my scan today! Freaking out already, so scared at the thought something will be wrong. This is my '12 week' scan (according to LMP) but I know I'm definitely not that far and the midwife said it would be good to do it anyway to double check the dates I have are right. I'm terrified they'll say there's no heartbeat or something :(

hi ladies can I tag along please, I am 26 from UK, expecting #4, edd- 16th/17th feb, I have a subchronic heamatoma which was discovered on a 5-6 week scan little bean had a heartbeat and then a follow up scan at 7 weeks showed the bleed was still there but so was the heartbeabeat :) got another follow up scan on Wednesday morning keeping fingers crossed my bean is still growing in there :)
 
Thanks! I'm so nervous! It's in 3 hours time so I'll update afterwards. Really hope it's good news!
 
Emily when you had early scans did they show you the screen as soon as they saw a heartbeat?
 
they took a few minutes and then they showed me heartbeat then carried on with the checks, they tried abdominal first but no luck so had transvaginal twice x
 
I had a scan at 7 weeks with my first so I really should remember these things but I can't! :haha:
 
welcome to the new faces
check the first page for the link info for our FB group too.

I had a job interview today and it looks like I got it just waiting on the official job offer email.

Had a horrible weekend with 2 of my 4 boys sick but looks like they are all on the mend now thankfully
 
Welcome new ladies!
I already have my Doppler. I bought it last pregnancy. I was just wondering when is best to look for it. I don't to look to early and then panic. Last pregnancy ended in a MC so I spent wasted hours looking for a HB that was never there. It was hard so this time I'm waiting definitely until after Wednesday's scan. Just want to see the HB first. 2 more days! :)

FX Bumblebeexo can't wait to hear about your scan!!!

Congrats lynnikins!
 
Welcome to our new members! :) our group is growing and growing!

Good luck bumblebee!

Congrats Lynnikins!

I have the sonoline b from my first pregnancy. I didn't use it a lot because of the info I've read about the speculation of safety (read, of course, after purchase). So as a rule I avoided frequent use to err on the side of caution. :) I waited until after my OB heard HB via Doppler at 12 weeks to even try because I knew I would have a panic attack if I couldn't find it.

I rarely used it and the times I did, I would freak out if I didn't find it immediately. So sometimes it caused more worry than good for me. Other people I know love theirs and use them frequently. It really varies person to person. :)

I'm unsure if I will use it yet this pregnancy or not. I've seen girls in the first tri board who've successfully located HB around 8-10 weeks but it's very hit-or-miss at this stage.
 
Hi, Emily! I also have a subchorionic hematoma found on my 6 week scan (that I only got due to bleeding and cramping). They discovered that mine was smaller and clotted at 8 weeks, though I'm still spotting brown occasionally because of it. SCH is so worrying... :(

Oh, and I'm also 26 and my name is Emily. ;)

Oh ok. What do you mean about safety? Can it hurt baby?

There is certainly the possibility that it can hurt a baby, especially in the first trimester: https://chriskresser.com/natural-childbirth-iib-ultrasound-not-as-safe-as-commonly-thought
Studies show that it causes tissue to heat up. My ultrasound tech even told me that which is why he turned it off in between taking pics. My midwife advised me to avoid exposure in the first trimester as well.

I've already had 3 scans due to the subchorionic hematoma and bleeding... :( I originally only wanted 1 at my 20-week scan, so I'm a bit disappointed. I'm going to avoid dopplers at my midwife appointments to make up for it. Dopplers are just very concentrated ultrasound and heat up much quicker, which is why they should only be concentrated for less than a minute or so. I would only trust my midwives with it since they're trained to find the heartbeat quickly, and I know it would take me forever.
 
How is your bleeding going, Feronia? I hope you're feeling more relaxed since your scan. :hugs:
 
Hmmm interesting. It doesn't feel hot to me. I'll look I to it but I'm really not worried about since I prob won't use it much anyway.
 
The spotting and cramping is worrisome, but the technician did tell me to expect some brown spotting. Still, I wish it would stop...

Congrats on the job, Lynn!
 
thanks guys, i got a phone call with the official job offer too. Training is Mon-Fri 9-5 next week I really hope i can get through it with this nausea
