I personally love my Angelsounds doppler, one of the cheaper ones but it picks up the heartbeat quite clearly now. You really don't need one, but I like being able to randomly lay down when I have nothing to do and just listen to the placenta, kicks and heartbeat for a while. Makes it feel just that bit more real to me.
The scan went fantastically! Where the NHS scan had just been a 2 minutes in and out scan that didn't really show us anything, this one was near 10 minutes! In Holland at the moment, so the scan goes on my private health care and you do notice a massive difference. There was a monitor above my head so I didn't had to turn and lay at awkward angles to see the baby, and we got explained everything. At first the baby was facing us, so she pointed out the eye sockets, nose etc ... then she had to poke him/her to turn and measure. Little one has grown from 39mm on the 13th to 63mm on the 24th! Such a massive change in just a week and a half.
But we got to see every little bit of the baby today. She moved so we could get a close up of the head, got to see him/her wave the little hand at use, saw the arms and legs ... just everything! It was magical and I loved every second of it =D The scan picture isn't as clear as the screen was, but I'm still happier with it than I was with the last picture. I now can't wait until my next scan though, which is still 7 weeks away. Will definitaly have to book a private scan for in the mean time
Got 2 pictures, a zoomed out version showing all of the baby + fluids around it, and a zoomed in version on the baby. Will add the last one...

Now, keeping in mind I'm a 'large' lady (size 20ish) - it's really not too bad an image. I know a lot of the other girls on here have a lot more detail, but I'm happy =)

Anyone else getting fed up with the toilet trips?! For some reason during the day when I drink loads I hardly have to go bathroom, even when it feels like I do. But at night, when I haven't drank anything for hours, I need to get up every hour to empty a full bladder. It's getting soooo frustrating!
I've also still not got a bump, but I'm starting to get larger. My pants there were well too big after losing 23 lbs this year now fit perfectly again.
