So sorry for your lost Lora, good luck in the future hunny. Sending prayers for you.

I went to the doctors and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time , I almost cried it was so unbelievable.

 

[MrsTM1]

I wonder whether we will we get any more twins? Is anyone else still waiting on an ultrasound?

I'm still waiting for a letter from the hospital to get my scan date. I'm expecting one sometime around the middle of August for my 12 week scan. The midwife and my husband have both mentioned twins and triplets! My bump is already the size of a 16-17 week bump and growing bigger daily!

 

[British Mummy]

I still haven't had a scan but I don't reckon twins. I don't have a big bump or severe symptoms. I know it's possible but just have a feeling there's only one. Just hoping it's all OK in there since I've been feeling better recently.

So sorry lora123, I've seen your other posts, you clearly know your body although I'm still so sorry that you have to go through this. xxxx

So sorry for your loss Lora

I was at the Dr today and have been given antibiotics for my cough. I'm pleased that hopefully it will have cleared up soon but worried about getting the dreaded thrush

 

[Feronia]

It would be hilarious (and awesome) if we had more twins in this group!

Yes, I've heard the same thing about the lower twin's position prior to the onset of labour. (I'm a doula, that's why I'm in all these groups and super interested in it!) I'm soooo glad that you are all being given the option for a natural delivery in the event that the first twin is head down! The second twin's position doesn't matter as much. You can join secret or closed groups on FB without anyone on your friends' list knowing!

I hope your cough gets better, Maisie! That must be hard to handle during pregnancy with a toddler...

I wouldn't worry about symptom loss between 9-11 weeks. It's a very common time for symptoms to start subsiding. That being said, despite my initial conviction that I would avoid dopplers, I'm tempted to have my midwife look for the heartbeat at my 14-week appointment just for the reassurance...

my condolences lora!

wait do you go into the third trimester when you hit week 12?
i thought you went into it when you were 13+3

 

[JACKDOLL]

Hey, I had my 12 week scan yesterday, baby was jumping about very active, couldn't get over how clear it was, started waving at us. My heart melts everytime I think about it..
Went shopping today with a friend who is due in 4weeks time, she had to pay her pram off & I just had to go & look at them, the bugaboo is a hot favourite with me,, I just love it but won't be purchasing anything until after my 20 week scan..

Congrats on all the twins..

Technically first trimester ends in the middle of week 13.
Some doctors and midwives consider 12 weeks the week that marks your safe point, so to speak, so I've heard others refer to 12 as when they're entering 2nd tri.
With my daughter I think I moved to the second tri convos around week 11. First tri was too scary.

Sorry for your loss Lora, I had a MMC in Feb xx

 

[Feronia]

my condolences lora!

Yeah, what Swansong said. It technically ends around 13.3 weeks, but many places consider the 14th week as the beginning of the second trimester. I'll personally go by 13.3 weeks, but some people do feel better going by 12 weeks.

 

[bridgetboo62]

yeah i would feel better going by 13.3 or 14 weeks
that is when i will head over to second tri

 

[swanxxsong]

I currently bounce between first and second tri boards. I just like to stalk.

swan I was just looking at the July jellybeans, crazy to think we will be sharing our birth stories before we know it!

I cannot wait to get there! This pregnancy is an emotional roller coaster!!

 

[MellyH]

One of my good friends is 36 weeks pregnant and they're not going to let her go over 38 weeks, I am so excited for her. She's so over it though.

 

[swanxxsong]

It's crazy to believe Captain! I agree!

I have friends on from my first birth group here, they're due in August, September and November. So exciting!

Against my typical judgment I used my Doppler today. Promised myself I would be fast and wouldn't panic if I heard nothing. Just had a lot on my mind lately an was nervous.

Found heartbeat within ten seconds! Still in the low 150s. I got a little choked up hearing my rainbows heart chugging along.

My only regret is I wish I had waited for hubby to be home to share in my moment since he can't make my 12-week appointment. Oops!

Nawwww, how sweet! My husband is completely against a home doppler... But man, I am very tempted. I would love to be able to hear the heartbeat in any little stressful moment. I wish we got to see the dr/midwife every 2 weeks. Four weeks between appointments is a long time!

What model do you have?

 

[MellyH]

swan, hopefully you can reproduce the moment for him when he gets home?

 

[swanxxsong]

I got a Sonoline B off Craigslist for 30 dollars. Works like a charm!

I may try when he gets home. I really don't like to use it a lot, or at all unless we're at the doctor's... but it was on a whim today and now I feel badly. So I may do a quick shot at it tonight when he gets home, see if I can have quick luck again and if not... he'll get to hear it at the ultrasound on the 11.
