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

I think it's totally worth it. Especially since you can't feel movement yet. It just gives me that piece of mind everyday.

Doppler is completely worth it. I got mine for 50$. I've been to two appointments where they couldn't find the heartbeat, which would have totally stressed me out if I didn't have one of my own.

 

[LeahLou]

My good friend gave me a Doppler since she works at my OBGYN after I promised myself I wouldn't get one. It's been a life saver or at least stress saver. It's calmed me down when I start letting my nerves get the best of me. Heartbeat consistently between 165-178

My Doppler was only $20 and is the best money I've ever spent. It's kept my anxiety at bay so much.

Glad to see everyone moving right along with 12 week scans and gender guesses!
I have my next appointment on Tuesday and I am so anxious. Fourth baby, but it never gets easier, does it? I feel like my bump should be bigger! So of course I googled and found lots of stories where a woman had no signs of mc until weeks after the baby died... I SHOULD NEVER GOOGLE!!!!!
So I'm trying to focus on my symptoms and stay positive. I can't wait until I'm feeling regular movement. It's so reassuring.

Hi ladies, sorry I've been MIA for the past few weeks. My class got really hectic, then I got the flu. I hope everyone and their littles are well. My 12 week appointment is tomorrow. I will post gender guessing picture if I get a good one.

On a side note, my husband has Shingles. I've had the chicken pox before. I just don't know if I should be worried because pregnant women have lowered immune systems. I wish that stubborn man would have gone to the doctor two days ago when I told him it was a shingles rash....but NOoOOO, he had to wait until it spread and started hurting bad. I'm worried for our son though. He hasn't had chicken pox, and JUST got the vaccine. My hubbys dad hasn't had them either. He lives here too. I'm not looking forward to this, lol.

Hi ladies good to see everyone is having their 12 week scans etc

[rebeccalouise]

I feel you Amaryllis. For the first few weeks, I was making myself crazy by reading all kinds of info on pregnancy risks and whatnot. I have now strictly prohibited myself from reading anything mc-related to keep myself from going into meaningless depression bouts. Google is a trap! lol

Oh, whittnie, that sounds like bad timing. And I'm guessing your poor husband is in isolation now anyway. Hugs to you all!

Good luck with your scan, tasha! Let us know how it goes!


AFM, good news! We got the Panorama test results back! Everything was good, except for Angelman's, which was non-conclusive (not enough baby DNA to find out), but it's a 1/12000 chance anyway, so I'm choosing not to obsess over it like everything else so far (hormones aren't helping my pregnancy fears ). Aaaaaaaand... it's a boy! We are having a baby boy! I'm so happy, I wanna go buy blue baby thingies, lol. I mean, I didn't mind either way, but now I get to be excited in a more specific way? If that makes any sense?

Go Team Blue!

My sister still wants a niece though

 

[BrittRashel]

I think the doppler is worth it. I have been feeling movement but it's not consistent. On the the days that I don't feel him, it bring me peace of mind to hear his heartbeat.

Yay, another boy!!! Conrats! You will love having a boy. They are so much fun! My dad's first words when I told him that we were having another boy was that we would just have to have another one. I told him "we'll see."

I'm just picturing the toy cars and soccer balls around the house already. Parents and in-laws are also excited, so our phone has been busy.

And we're the first gals on team blue, so yay!

(yep, I'm still happy-drunk from the news )

Congrats on a boy! Yay! We won't know for another 4 weeks. It is driving me nuts, it it is bearable this time.

 

[whittnie117]

I had my 12 week appointment today. It went well. Everything looks good with the little. Any nub theory guesses. I wish the picture was cleared.

Also, Brandi, I sent you a friend request on FB. I am BV C. (INITIALS)

Everyone with a doppler, would you say it's worth it? I kind of want one, but I can't make up my mind.

It's worth it for the peace of mind, 100%. Mine was only $37 shipped off ebay. I am reading mixed reviews about how often is ok to use it, though. I thought I'd only use it once a week, but it's been about every other day. So the temptation is bad I should say . I know of women who use theirs everyday though.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'll update the front page as everyone finds out. So far, I have Quantea and Britt. If I've mised anyone, please let me know

Fading,
I didnt want to buy in the beginning, because they say it is hard to find the HB and that would freak me out.
But since we all are getting to the 2nd trimester, I bought one, which I tried last night and could hear the HB at 163.
It is good to be able to hear when you want, and not only when you go to the doctor.

But my main reason was to actually record and send it to my family, since they all live overseas, and won't see me pregnant or wont be able to follow me to appts or anything.

 

[PriandRafa]

Ladies, here is my 11 week ultrasound!

any guesses on the gender??

LOL, I'll only find out on Sept 17 and I am getting anxious already

 

[mrswichman]

Saw the Dr. today and she said I could try vaginal birth, even after my c-section...barring any complications obviously. She also told me my due date would not change and it will stay Feb. 18th...which is perfectly fine...but both dates make sense...so lets keep it at the 18th.

We also listened for baby on doppler...they were kicking and rolling and took a couple minutes for the doctor to find it but it was there and strong she said

 

[oox_tasha_xoo]

I heard baby's heaetbeat on Doppler last night for first time! 152 ish beats per minute! Such a lovely sound xx

 

[jessthemess]

I want a Doppler! Where did everyone get theirs?
