Scan went great. The pictures are really blurry, but saw a strong heartbear and was measuring right on track!!
I'm from Washington State, USA. There are a lot for over seas on here

Ontario, Canada here!

Has anyone else found that although they can hear baby's heart beat on the Doppler the Doppler doesn't seem to measure the heart rate properly?
Mine was saying baby's heart rate was going down from 120-70 even though I could hear quiet clearly that it wasn't. So I counted myself for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 and it was 164bpm which is definitely more like how fast it sounded!!

My doppler doesn't measure accurately either, I figure it's just because they're still so small and low down. I always have to point the doppler wand at an angle towards my pelvic bone...if it's not right on top I imagine that would make it hard to read

This happens to me too... It sounds all muffled & distant & I never get a reading. But my scanned revealed I had an anterior placenta so the Doppler had to get through the placenta. I had this with first & I had the same thing plus I didn't feel movement I'll about 22 weeks. But I can still hear the HB so that's good xx

Lots of NW England ladies here! I'm north west too- on the Wirral

Salamander- I was in Preston for uni too! I graduated 2009.

Miranda- I'm so very jealous that you live in Florida! My favourite place in the world (classic Orlando tourist here haha; although we also loved Clearwater beach on our honeymoon)

Button- I'll be in Orlando in January as long as I'm not high risk due to bp ...I'm about 3 hrs south from there

 

[kmpreston]

Orlando is my favourite place. We were there in April and Im planning to take baby next November

North west is unusually well represented!

I'm starting to get worried that I haven't found the babies heartbeat yet. I am 11 weeks tomorrow. You all seem to have found it already. I found it with my first baby but I'm sure that was after my 12 week scan. I know that the baby is low down because I remember it from my first baby but I just can't find it.

I wouldn't worry too much I can barely hear mine

I have an exfoliating cloth for acne. That's pretty good although mine is on my back 😜 The joys of pregnancy! I'm from Derbyshire, U.K. Lived in Sheffield most of my life so the other side of the Pennines from a lot of you ladies 😀

 

[TattyHead]

Oxygen & KMPreston, will you be giving birth in Burnley hospital? I'm living in Darwen so will be giving birth in Burnley.
I've got my dating scan on Monday in Blackburn & am starting to get very nervous, I've already had 3 scans so I've no idea why I'm feeling like this

I'm not really struggling with acne, but I'm starting to get a good few beard hairs & hate it!!

 

[justplay91]

I'm from North-central Illinois, US. So Middle of Nowhere, America, basically. Lol.

It's normal not to get an accurate reading on the doppler. Mine still doesn't even display the heartbeat, and I remember from my last two pregnancies that even when it does, it's always in the 120's or something way lower than it actually is.

I'm actually a little concerned because this baby's heartbeat is always up in the high 170's... That seems too high, right? My son's was always up there too, but my daughter's was about 140 at this point in pregnancy (I have recordings of both). Blows that gender theory right out of the water! Maybe it's just another boy. Only have to wait 29 more weeks to find out! Haha.

Congrats on the scans, ladies! I'm so jealous of you ladies that get 12 week scans! I won't see baby again until the 20 week anatomy scan.

Oxygen, I wouldn't worry that you haven't found the heartbeat yet. My doctor says she can never find them until at minimum 12 weeks. And that's with a big fancy doppler! I can find baby sometimes, but sometimes I can't. It's so hard when they're still this small!

No I'm going to Oldham. I live equal distance from both but the route to Burnley is much more precarious should it snow so decided not to run that risk. Would have to go there in an emergency though as I work in Blackburn

Hey everyone loving all the scan Picts so glad all is going well for everyone I have my next scan on Monday can't wait to see my little bean again

Oxygen i know it's worring but am sure your little bean is just hiding in there it's still very early

Am from Antrim in N.Ireland

 

[TattyHead]

Kmpreston - Those roads over the moors are awful to Burnley. I lived in Bacup for a bit & Winter was a nightmare!
Definitely safer at Oldham..
