what doppler do you ladies have? is it really good? im quite big so i wouldnt think one would work for me as early but id love to get one xx
The sonoline B is supposed to be amazing, and the same kind MW's and health professionals use
if a mw had been able to hear a baby's hb then I'm sure you could find it using one of those too
I was about to ask the same!
I'm struggling- and I'm sure a ton of it has to do with hormones. I've been avoiding getting attached to pregnancies ever since my 2nd loss. I never thought I'd make it this far. I feel bad for doubting this baby so much- before each ultrasound I expected to see it being behind and/or no heartbeat- but both times was proved very wrong. We've told people, and I still feel dizzy all the time- but I still haven't been able to accept it as real... Don't know when that will happen.
We think we're going to get a NT scan at 12.5 weeks (4 weeks from today)- it wouldn't change what happens with the pregnancy but could give us one less thing to worry about, or something to prepare for. Is anyone else doing this?
We get NT scans as standard here in the UK, they're not mandatory but I'll have it done anyway just so I know what the odds are. I don't think it would change anything either way, but if my results came back were higher I may go for the amniocentesis as I think it'd be good to know for sure and prepare, especially with us having 2 little ones already
So they just said I am in the 9th week!! Whew!! As I have said many times before, I have never made it out of the 6-7 week and those started off bad.
They used a doppler today, baby hb is at 168bpm at 9 weeks and some days
I was sooo anxious and nervous...
Last night my dad called. His girlfriend son was killed in a shooting at Walmart in Las Vegas. Two gunmen opened fire in the store and he carries a gun, tried to stop them and was killed. Two officers as well. Sad day, so hearing my baby hb brings my spirits up a little.
Sunshine, did you tell hubby yet!? I've missed a weeks worth of posts so may have missed it if you already said. I know you said you're waiting for Father's Day, is that the same day as we have here, 15th June?
OMG how sad and scary. America scares me so much, every time I hear about gun crime I shudder
hope your dad's gf is holding up ok, my thoughts go out to your family
Had another scan today and they now look like gummy bears! They had a huge growth spurt since we saw them on Tuesday; they basically skipped a week. Both are measuring 8weeks and baby A is now bigger than baby B.
Fantastic news
will you get regular scans with twins? If so how lovely to see them and their updates so often
Hey ladies how are we all? Got my scan date through, 10th july! Seems soooo long to wait but we go on holiday for a week a week on friday then the monday after we come back, me and Alex have a trip with the toddler group.
Have my booking in appointment this Friday, but Alex is still coming out with new spots. I don't know whether to see how he is on Thursday and ring the mw and ask to rearrange or ask my dad to watch him, only he thinks I'm borrowing his car to pop to asda which wouldn't take me that long!
Eeeek chicken pox? If he's ok in himself I'd take him, but if not maybe rebook or see if she can do a home visit?
jsmom - I thought ours looked just like little gummy bears too! Glad things are trucking right along for you!
SCgirl - we'll be having the NT scan done on the 20th. Won't change a thing but we like to know what's going on so we can be prepared for whatever is to come
Had some fun shopping around this morning, ordered two pairs of these booties off etsy today. I plan to use them in photographs to announce to friends and extended family....maybe even on Fathers day as I've grown quite the little pooch now and can't really hide it anymore. Several people asked at a wedding we attended Saturday so we had to share with them even though we weren't keen on it. Bump only gets bigger everyday that passes! Still haven't gained any weight but I'm happy to just be happy maintaining with the help of the b6/doxy/succinate and Zofran
Seriously cute
I am excited and nervous to announce! No idea why, couldn't wait to tell the world with both girls, but I feel like people will think or comment that I'm crazy
not that their opinions would bother or phase me, but I just feel weird about it all! We probably will announce straight after our 12w scan though, but if I can get away without telling people for longer I might try
Eurgh anyone else suffering badly with stomach cramps related to bowel movements!? And the actual movements themselves
I'm just so gassy and it doesn't matter what I eat, it doesn't even need to be spicy, it sets me off
i had the opposite with both girls' pregnancies so this is a new one for me, what can we do or take to help!?
I have tried pretty much every single remedy there is. Sometimes things seem to work, sometimes they don't. I don't know how I'm going to handle this if the MS lasts longer than 12 weeks! 
got to see the little heartbeat flash-flashing on screen (she didn't measure rate)!
