February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

Hi ladies, I was wondering if I could join you here? I am pregnant with my second and I am due February 28. I just "knew" I was pregnant and had to wait to test. I got my bfp June 19. My first scan is July 10 or 17th. I am so excited to be pregnant, but am trying to be cautious. I know it is still early. Anyway, I hope I am able to join you all!

Welcome and congratulations! <3
 
My midwife said she will try and find bubs heartbeat at my 10 week appointment. Whats the chances of her being able to, i know its still early. But its just if she shud b able to find it then my husband wants to come to hear it
 
Back to gp today bp back to normal but still getting pinky blood he wasn't very reassuring & just sent for me more blood tests which the earliest appointment being Thursday & results can take up to 5 days to come back!

So we've booked a private scan this afternoon really hoping for good news & see a little heart beat!

You should definitely see a heartbeat on an ultrasound at that point. We saw ours at 7+4. If she is just using a Doppler, it really depends on the position of your uterus. Mine is tilted so it sits further back. My OB couldn't find DS's heartbeat on a Doppler until somewhere around 14 weeks.
 
You have people like that no matter what country you live in though, but a few lazy a-holes shouldn't be the deciding factor in how long your child has at home to bond and be nurtured by you. (I live in the city with the highest mooching rate in all of Ontario). I lived in Ohio 11 years ago and there, at least, taxes are WAY WAY lower than in Canada. I honestly don't mind paying the extra taxes, because it means not having tens of thousands of dollars of debt from medical bills, and I get to stay home and raise my kids rather than having someone else "raise" them from a few weeks old. I had to go back to work when my 3rd child was 8 weeks old and it was the WORST. She's 4 now and out of all my kids, she's the one I am least bonded with, and I firmly believe it was because I was not around to be the one at home teaching her all her firsts. I'll take a couple percent higher taxes if it means spending extra time with my kids and getting to watch them grow up!

That's true. I'm the wrong person to ask on that kind of stuff though. While I wish I could get a little bit longer with the baby and I SAY that I would like to stay home, I stayed home for the first two years of Matt's life and I just don't think I'm cut out to be a SAHM. It takes A LOT of patience. While I love my son more than life itself, I am not the most patient person and while I miss him when I'm not with him, working and having time away makes me a better mom. We have a better relationship now because I'm not frustrated with him all the time and I can enjoy our time together. I'm sure that makes me sound bad but I'm just a realist and I know what I can and can't handle. I was raised by a single Dad from the time I was 6 months old until I was 7 so I'm sure not having a maternal figure until I was 7 is probably a contributing factor in that but that's a whole other story. So, the fact that I will only stay home with the baby for 3 months actually doesn't bother me all that much. I do wish it was more feasible for those that wish to do it though. Just because I'm not cut out for it doesn't mean that I agree that it shouldn't be an option for those that are cut out for it. And how you manage that many kids on your own, Brandi. Wow. You are like a superhero to me!! I have trouble with just my one. :haha:
 
All ok nice little heartbeat! Measuring a little behind which is confusing as I know my ovulation time & def couldn't have conceived later but she said all looks fine & viable pregnancy so I'm happy with that.

Couldn't explain the bleed but sometimes it just happens.

So relieved!
 
Yay mummy that's good that everything is okay. What did they say you are measuring? X
 
That's great, mummy! Don't worry too much about measuring behind. I was measuring about 3 days behind at my last US but my OB isn't worried at all. Babies grow at different rates, just like kids. :)
 
Thank you both, measuring 5wks 6days but she said not to worry too much about that as it may catch up or implantation took longer than normal. So hopeful for now :)
 
I had my 8 week appointment today! :) Looks like things are progressing the way they are supposed to! Scan is attached. :cloud9:

Lol not offensive at all! I couldn't believe how clear it turned out!!!

I'm sure, in fact, that after birth it WILL be a little monkey ;)
 
Yey to Mummy and dustergrl lovely to see scans and to know baby's are doing well x
 
Hello all. I'm due February 19th. My bloods were good and my first apt u/s is July 10. I hope to hear a heart beat! I already have a baby girl that will be 2 jan 5th.
 
Welcome to the new ladies :)

Congrats dustergrl and mummy1506!

Busy babysitting my nephews the last couple days. And niece lol. A glimpse of a life with 3. So much fun. Finally got laid last night :p and of course bright red bleeding followed. Oy. But it was gone within an hour and not even brown discharge or anything this morning. Called it into the midwives as that want to know about bleeding. But no one is concerned. Still want July 13 to hurry up and get here!
 
I'm nervous because my only symptoms are crazy dreams and boobs hurt a bit. Anyone else have a lack in symptoms?
