Welcome mummy g xx

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 =)

--Edit--
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.

Awwwwww! so cute! Im a bigger girl too hun, so im a bit worried about the visibility, im having an nhs scan so if they are a bit crap I will defo book in for a private scan.

I havent got a bump as such yet either, just my normal belly lol, altho I have noticed my jeans getting a little tighter! xx

Hello i am due on the 7th March!!

 

[Erised]

bigbloomerz, how did your scan go?! I noticed a post on how full your bladder was, but I haven't seen a scan photo yet or information on how the scan went. Hope all went well and that you got to see your little one moving around in there =D

 

[Kel127]

I had my scan today!!! I drank too much, and my bladder was very full, but I got some really cute pics. They said the baby looks great and it was moving all over the place. I will put up some a picture when I get home.

 

[bigbloomerz]

Evening everyone!

I Had a lovely time at the scan today, we were in there for at least 20minutes and the sonographer was very thorough with everything, all was fine and perfectly healthy as far as he could see which made me very happy mummy indeed!

I got to see my beautiful Hobnob wriggling around on the screen and sucking his/her thumb! Just like his mummy used to hehe.

I drank quite a bit, but once got there they said a little bit will help but not to go to the extreme, I was in a lot of pain near to the end of the scan because i really needed a wee!

Roll on 6th of November for the next scan

 

[bigbloomerz]

Thats great news Kel! Cant wait to see your photos too xx

 

[bigbloomerz]

Hello i am due on the 7th March!!

Hello! and welcome to March Mummies xx

 

[Erised]

Aww, glad you had such a great scan and that your little one played nice. For next time, drink less! Wish we'd seen ours sucking a thumb, sounds incredibly cute. But we got a wave, which was brilliant too.

Hi Hazel :wave:

Kel, can't wait to see your little one! =D

 

[Kel127]

Here are the pictures of my baby!!! The first is a profile shot with its hand in the air waving, and in the second the baby was looking right at us.

 

[Erised]

Aww, the baby looking right at you looks just like our little one did when we started the scan. Isn't it incredibly weird to see the eye sockets stare right at you? Wish we'd gotten a picture of it ourselves.

Did anyone else think the baby has very little room btw? The poor little one looked all squashed.

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Aww how awesome to see all these u/s pics! I had a couple more pics too, I might get around to uploading them, I'm just ridiculously busy since class started again this week.

I was worried about visibility too since I'm a rather big lady (size 20-ish), with a lot of belly fat, lol. But we got to see great pictures on screen, although they didn't print out too well.

Erised- the baby is only gonna get more squashed! Lol, but then again, so are all babies!

 

[Seity]

My scan yesterday went well. I updated my avatar to my favorite picture from yesterday. So many great scan pictures on this thread recently. Keep them coming!

 

[aflight84]

[MissingBubs]

Got my scan tomorrow at 2pm. So worried, but very excited. I've had some brown and pink tinted cm on and off since saturday. I really need everything to be ok. I'm so scared. Sleepless night for me I think!!

 

[Helabela]

[julchen_79]

Hello Ladies, I am Julie, 30 and having my first child around March the 2nd. I have not had an ultrasound as this is not common here in Canada - unless there is reason for concern. I could however get a dating ultrasound out of my doctor...September 17th. SO I am counting the days. Hope you all have a happy healthy pregnancy. Oh...One question...how are your bumps coming along?

 

[gemini9961]

Hi everyone! I am new here, just joined within the past couple weeks. My name is Amber, 28, from Florida - USA, married and pregnant with our first baby.

We are due March 17, 2010.

My first sonogram is next Friday 9-4-09. I'm excited to be able to finally see the little baby.

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Hello, Julchen and Gemini! Glad you found us!

I don't have a real "bump," partly because I'm a big woman to begin with, but evidently everything is shifting around because my pants don't fit anymore!

I know it is really, really early, but I keep thinking I'm feeling Peanut moving! I don't think I am, its incredibly early to feel for a first baby, especially for an overweight mom, but I swear I feel SOMETHING. Maybe it's just gas! What do you guys think?
