Pretty sure I just found my baby's heartbeat with my doppler. It was super brief and really hard to find, but it definitely didn't sound anything like mine (it was much faster...the doppler said it was 170bpm).

hi ladies

had my first prenatal appointment this afternoon and it went so well! go to hear the little bean's heartbeat and it was at 170 bpm. I think it is the most amazing sound i've ever heard. over the moon right now. first u/s scheduled for august 20th.....can't wait to see it!!

Glad to hear of some appts going well!!

This may be tmi-- I'm just curious if any of you are experiencing this, I went from being constipated to diarhea .. It's so intense that when it hits I have to get to a washroom fast!! Is this normal??

That's been happening to me since week 3. I'm assuming it's normal!

Hi all, my tummy has been slighty settled after my big ms 2 days ago. Ohh my gosh, I thought I was going to die!...
hope i just have mild nausea from now on.... Or nothing at all lol

i have had severe hard time `passing`anything. but i am only 8 weeks along.. I seen the little beans heartbeat last week but i have found blood again today ( had it at 5.5 weeks) i hope this little one sticks... first pregnancy in 11 yrs.

 

[skeet9924]

I wasnt able to pass anything until this week..now I cant stop Guess it all has to come out at some point. Also my diclectin doesnt seem to be working as well ...Ive been nauseous most of the day for the past few days, and am throwing up at night...atleast I feel worse at night instead of during the day .

Good luck elisera!! Are you calling your doctor?

 

[eliserea123]

There is no such thing as too much information on this forum haha.
I have the same problem, I imagine it's just your body helping you kick it all out if it's been there too long.

A little bit of blood is normal isn't it? I hope it stops anyway because it's a very disconcerting when it happens

So ladies I went to the ER today just because of these pains on my left side. They told me that I am actually 10weeks today and that I have a small cyst on my left ovary which could contribute to the pains I get. It was such a blessing to see my baby on the screen today!!!

 

[skeet9924]

oh wow great news !!! Must be nice to be closer to 2nd tri then you thought!!

 

[Sweedot]

I see my little one for the first time tomorrow...I can't believe how fast the time is going this time around. It really dragged during my last pregnancy, I feel like I'm zipping through the weeks. Probably because I'm focused in raising a little girl who is into absolutely everything, I need eyes in the back of my head! She's a dare devil!

ALso, I know this isnt the appropriate place for this post, but I see there's a lot of second and third time moms here....

I asked in baby club but didn't get much helpful advice. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with sleep training who could give me some info or advice, either here or pm.

My little girl is 8 months, she sleeps in her own crib and room, but is waking three or more times a night and needing feeds and wanting to sleep in our bed. Which isn't the best when I have to get up to pee three times a night and we don't have the room. Our bed. I'm perched on the edge when she's sleeping with us. She's eating solids three times a day and having formula feeds, usually I give her 7/8 ounces of formula before bed,. The bedtime routine is getting longer and longer, now it's a bath, massage, bottle and endless lullabies and rocking to sleep. It's Taking over a hour and 9:00 pm by the time she is in bed, then she wakes an hour later. My husband works a 12 hour day, we have no time together to talk or have a cuddle and I need that time. How can I get her to sleep better and more consistently. I need my rest now I'm pregnant! Lol

Sweedot have you tried less naps during the day for her??? I use to keep my daughter up for most of the day, it was a hard task though but it worked out.. And if she did fall asleep, lets say your daughter naps for an hour at a time i'd let her sleep maybe 20 minutes and have major play time with her so that by whatever time you're comfortable with her going to bed you can let her go.

But what also helped me was, i'd get up before she would normally wake up during the night and just dream feed her so that she had no reason to wake up and then finally I was able to ween her off of that and she continues to sleep through the night.

But of course you know what works for one baby may not work for another, so good luck and keep me posted. I suggest since you're pregnant that you get up and dream feed her, don't wake her just stick a bottle in her mouth and see if she wakes up after that. Also do you put cereal or rice in her bottles?

 

[Sweedot]

I will try the dream feeding, thanks.

sweetdot - i did controlled crying with my lo around 9 months and it worked wonders. she was waking around 5 times a night n bedtime was taking up to 2hrs! stopped her waking through the night for feeds and cuddles etc. i know this is a contraversal approach so wont go into details of how i did it but i didn t leave her crying for hours. max time is 5 mins. if u feel like trying it message me and ill tell you how i did it. x

I would stop feeding during the night. Once my kids realized they werent getting food, they stopped waking. Also cutting out a nap helped a ton at that age for us. I read the book "The Baby Whisper" and the schedule they have in there worked wonders for my daughter. Good luck!
