Forums New posts
Congratulations! I think almost everyone has had their scans now, just one or two more to go!
 
I'm pretty sure I've felt movement too , not fluttering but rolling kinda, it was also at the same as I used the doppler so it's in the right place.
I had the first stranger ask when I was due today, her face was a picture when I days February!

Hello ladies. I've had a scan at 7+4, and everything was great. Heard a very strong heartbeat too.
I am now 11+1 and have another scan on the 6th of august. But I really don't think I can wait that long now. I just want to know that the little one is safe and happy in there.
What do you ladies think about dopplers?
Is it just me who is extra excited but also very very very scared about the scans? It's freaking me out!
 
Alicia, seems like people have had mixed success in here, so it depends how strong your nerves are if you can't find anything!
 
Yes Melly, that's what puts me off. I might worry myself even more. I don't know why I can't just be okay with knowing that everything was fine in the first scan?! I have no reason to feel the way I do. Just can't seem to get my head around it... 😕
 
Congrats MrsPoodle on a great scan! That is awesome you are feeling movement...I can't wait for that!

Melly, glad you heard the same thing. It makes me feel better but I obviously still worry! :)

This pretty much sums up how I feel. I think it is hard not to worry, because I can't feel much of what is going on in there. I have a dr appt next week and the nt scan a week later, so hope all will be fine then (and greedily hoping for scans at both appts!). I cracked and bought a doppler... I hope that I can use it once a week or so from now until I can feel the baby move. I am worried my fears will be worse if I have trouble finding anything, but equally hopeful that it will always work, and will be very reassuring. I just feel like 4 weeks between appts is surely going to drive me nuts.
 
I have my obstetrician on Tuesday and then scan on Thursday my last scan was at 8+6 and everything was developing well so will see how I go next week I get all my booking in books too on Tuesday as my mw splits her booking so I had a booking app 2 weeks ago to register pregnancy etc then I have all my official appointments next week so really looking forward to it.

Also really excited for OH to finally get to see our bean wriggling about as I don't think its sunk in for him yet either with it been early days no movement not looking pregnant its difficult for me sometimes thinking theres a little person inside me. Its my 4th so hoping to feel some movement soon :)

I was convinced that my 3rd dd was a boy as the pregnancy started with no sickness but gradually kicked in and got worse and she was a girl. We would really love a son this time as its the last baby for our family, but based on my gut instinct been wrong last time im not setting any hopes, the only difference this time to my other 3 dd is that ive only actually been sick twice whereas the girls were every day and we could have only conceived using the shettles method as that's the way we tried to conceive and did conceive so fingers crossed we are having a son :) x

Have you used your Doppler yet? I'm pretty sure your little one is safe and happy in there but I know exactly how you feel! I just want to know that everything is okay. Wouldn't mind been reassured every day. Heh. I am really tempted to buy a Doppler now, just scared I will end up at the hospital like a crazy lady cause I can't find a heartbeat.

I bought it this morning, so should arrive thus week... my husband will be mad if he finds out! I am just going to hope I find it whenever I look and it will be a positive thing. I do worry- can't wait to hut second trimester, and really looking forward to feeling movement. I doubt I will use the doppler if I can feel baby moving.
 
I love my doppler and have always been able to find the heartbeat with a full bladder from 8w3d, it's so strong now...
But baby is still small and couple potentially hide away and not be as easily found.
Midwives don't tend to try before 16 weeks for that very reason.
I try to only use mine once or twice a week, for about a minute or so, I wouldn't use it every day.

I think that is more or less what I would want to do. I am going to see where they put the scanning probe next week and then try myself in that same spot with my home doppler. Hope I find it easily, and can then check in with baby every week or so. :baby:
 
I have a doppler and love it. I find it very reassuring. Takes some practice to find the bean at first, but I have had good luck :-)
 
My little wriggler moves about quite a bit ... but I'd have never looked so high up to start with if I hadn't remembered that she was looking high up at my first scan, at my second one she was over my belly button at one point! Xx
 
hey sorry i havent been on much these past few days
my sister was planning a home water birth and was laboring at home on wednesday
she got to 10cm dilated and was about ready to push and then baby's heart rate started to decline so she was transferred by ambulance to the hospital where she ended up being put under and having an emergency c section cause baby heart rate was down to 60
she didnt even get to see baby until almost 9pm and he was born around 2:30
he spent a full 24hrs in the NICU (she got to come and breast feed him every three hours from 9pm-2:30pm) he is doing fine now and coming home tomorrow he is just great they are all together and she named him dustin (they didnt have set names picked out and they didnt know if it was boy or girl)
what curious is that this is the exact same thing that happened with her first
except her first was a planned hospital birth (not induced still spontaneous labor) and his heart rate started to go down right after she started pushing. they suctioned him out though because he was a little bit farther down the birth canal than this baby was
but its just very strange and unlikely for such a thing to happen two times in a row
with both baby's so she is getting her placenta tested to see if there are any abnormalities with that
we are just glad they are both ok though happy and healthy
OH and i have been house sitting for them taking care of their dog and two year old
 
i posted a pic on the facebook page but thought i would post one here too for everyone who isnt part of the facebook group
