[Shazzy]

Hi ladies, im due 30th July!!! got m bloods back from the doctors, so exciting!
im a bit bummed because my scan is only for 16 January. Is anyone else waiting so long?

 

[maybethistime]

Yay nikki glad everything was great for u, my sytoms have been all over the place for a few days now but I know im hungry again as long as i eat Im fine xxx cant wait for my scan just over 2 weeks left lol

shazzy
i am 2 weeks in front of you but i have to wait until 10-12 weeks for my scan. how many weeks wil u be by then?

 

[SJK]

I saw my beanie's heartbeat!!!
I sobbed for joy in the ultrasound room!!! I am so, so delighted and so relieved!
LO is 9mm long which is spot on for 7 weeks today.
Now I feel all wobbly with joy. Feel a bit sick too, but I think it is the stress of it all leaving me. NHS don't need to scan me again till 12 weeks now, so I think I will get one or two private scans done for my own peace of mind in the meantime. Right now DH and I are just so delighted that our little baby has a heartbeat. It really feels like she/he is alive now.
Thanks for all your well-wishes!

so glad all ok with you xxx

Well girls I got home from work last night and the doppler was sitting waiting for me, so of course, knowing it was far too early, I couldnt wait to get it opened and got myself into a right state when I couldnt find nothing , so after a very sleepless night, I gave in and rang the epu and they told me to come down. So off we went expecting the worst and I saw little beanys heartbeart , its measuring back to my original dates what I always said before my doc put me forward, so here Im off to change my ticker again , ahh well xxx

my edd is back to the 13th july, originally what I thought xx

 

[Shazzy]

geogem ill be twelve weeks well at least you can see the baby in full then...thats what i keep telling myself!

 

[NikiJJones]

SJK: that's great news about the scan. It is such a lovely feeling to see a HB isn't it?
Do you know how far along we need to be before a doppler will work?

Shazzy: I've been told I won't see my MW till about 11 weeks, and I don't think they'll give me my Nuchal scan date till then, so I reckon it will be in January too, as X'mas will be so busy.

 

[JJF]

SJK too funny about the doppler, I got mine out yesterday too but its so hard to hear, I think I mostly hear gas, haha. I think I might have heard something below bellybut and to the left but then again, we make things up when we want too, haha.

I'd like to know too Nikki when you are really supposed to be able to hear with an untrained ear

 

[NikiJJones]

If you don't mind me asking, how much do dopplers cost?

 

[JJF]

I'm not sure, mine was a gift 6 years ago with my first pregnancy. Its not a very fancy one, I just lets you listen but I feel like I've seen some people mention ones that actually count the heartbeat for you so they must have a nice one. Check them out on ebay maybe? Or see if anyone might be willing to sell you one on here!

 

[NikiJJones]

Thanks. I am the Ebay queen, so will look on there. I got my CBFM on there at mega cheap price, as it was 2nd hand, but it did the trick.

 

[Elliebank]

I think they have them on Ebay for about £20/£25.00

 

[NikiJJones]

Yay!!! That's cheap! I'm getting one. Don't want to use it before I'm sure it will work though as I will panic otherwise.

 

[Elliebank]

I'm in two minds whether to get one - I want one as it will be amazing to be able to listen the baby's heartbeat when I want, but apparently it can't always find it depending on what position the baby is in and I KNOW I'll panic if I can't find it.

 

[honey08]

yeh well am defo getting on of these,but i know i will have it on 24/7 just feeling nervous n scared as of yet tho till i see HB on scan etc, but everyone must feel this way
so plsed for u nikki, told OH n everyone, me 2other mates ! lol

 

[Elliebank]

Ladies, I have to write this as I can't help thinking about it loads lately. I've always thought that it's an amazing thing that a baby can grow inside of a woman. But since it's actually happening to me & I'm reading my pregnancy book, I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW AMAZING IT IS!!! A tiny sperm & egg meet, then they turn into a load of cells, and yr body nurtures those cells that turn into a BABY!! A BABY!!! Wow, sorry but I just think it is the most amazing & magical thing ever. We are so privileged to be able to do this aren't we?

 

[honey08]

my first MW app is 18dec n i be 10ish wk,the one after that ive no idea,but i REALLY want a 12wk scan b4 new yr.... i know i want everything LOL, just want a healthy sticky bean of course

 

[NikiJJones]

Yes: it is amazing!!! To know that there is a little life inside me with a beating heart feels so, so lovely!
