****November 2013 Rainbow Babies****

[grich2011]

Went to the doctor today and she said I won't be back to see her for four weeks, I'm happy but nervous about this. So my next appointment won't be until may 28th, thank god I bought that doppler I don't know what I would do.

Grich, can you find the heartbeat with the doppler yet? I tried with mine last week, an Angel Sounds one, and couldnt find it. I've had a scan since and all ok, with my DS I couldnt find it until I was about 16 weeks but I would love to find it NOW

Yes I have been able to find it since 9+3 it was really hard to find at first but now it's much easier. I have the soonoline b, I have heard that angel sounds takes longer to hear it on but I'm not positive never tried that one. Hopefully you find it soon!

I am sooo tired!! But my dr has changed my blood pressure meds, so I think that could be adding to the tiredness. I seriously wake up feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep I get!

I have a doppler but I agree with my obstetrician that I'm not going to use it. It was how I found out about my 2nd tri loss, so I have funny feelings about it because of that and I'm also worried that I start obsessing about it! Luckily though my scans are still pretty frequent! Hopefully we'll all be feeling movement soon!

Funny you say that Ginny, I know 12 weeks is very early but they say you can feel movements sooner with no2+. I've felt a few of those air bubble movements in my tummy but I'm not sure if it's bubs or my bowels! I have a little pouch already, nice and firm. I'm quite slim so I don't think I'll be able to hide this pregnancy very long.


I agree regarding the doppler for you. I was the same with beta and HPTs. I refused to do any this time after I got my BFP, too much stress xoxo

angel I have been feeling flutters, you can certainly feel baby move earlier with each pregnancy.
I have ordered a Doppler and it arrives tomorrow, feel like a woman obsessed with this pregnancy!
Next scan not for another two weeks so I need to hear the heartbeat to calm me down I think haha

[sunnysun]

Welcome joey! I'm a day after you

I have an angesounds too but I have had mix feedback, some ppl says to do it later but some like joey can find it sooner. Any tips please? I'm much do you need to press down ?

 

[joey300187]

hi lovely!
i have to have a full bladder lay with some pillows under my bum to raise hips and search really low like literally on/just above public bone.
wiyhout sounding rude it also matter how big u are im a 10 and have no trouble.
ooo use lots of gel too!!
i dont press very hard u need to mkve really slow as baby so small by movig too far u could miss him/her i used to start at one aide n angle it in a circle then shuffle over a tiny but n repeat.
do not panic if u cant find bubs some just are good at hiding!!
good luck n let ne know if u find the little cutie xxx

 

[sunnysun]

Great, thank you, I'm a size 10 too hopefully it won't be too hard to find it, will it give it a go

I had my first prenatal appointment a couple weeks ago now and it went pretty well. I won't be hearing the heartbeat until my next appointment which is May 27th, and then I have an ultrasound on June 24th. It seems so far way but I can handle it!

Just thought I would update you guys!

The time between appointments is killing me lol. Good luck at the new hospital hopefully everyone you meet there is nice I have heard some horror stories. Is 13 weeks second trimester because I hear that it's 13 then I hear 14 :/

 

[AngelSerenity]

Most information I have read is from week 13-28 for 2nd trimester and the majority of people I know class it from this so give yourself a little cheer as yes you are in 2nd trimester

Had my 12 week scan today - everything looked great. Baby measured 13 weeks! So that was nice, still keeping EDD the same though

Here are some pics - not the best quality though!

Grich, yes that'll be my first I wanted a 12 week one but my doctor refused.

 

[sunnysun]

Ginny great picture!!

Lavarl- how come the doc refused to give you a scan at 12weeks? When is your scan ?

 

[MandaAnda]

Lovely piccies!

I woke up to a bleed and cramping this morning, which has been light and brownish all day. Increased Braxton Hicks, which had started a few days ago as well. GP didn't seem too worried but then wasn't happy my tummy was so tender on palpating. So, off to a scan at the EPU, which was all fine and couldn't find a cause. I was happy to see baby, but I'll be happier if this stops and never happens again. I was so upset at first. Hubby is adamant I take tomorrow off, too. So, a restful day to look forward to. (Any nub/skull theory guesses welcome. It keeps turning the pic upside down once it's uploaded! No idea why!)

 

[ginny83]

Glad the bleeding stopped Manda - must have been very scarey! I can't see a nub? going to guess girl anyway

Feeling nervous about everything again! I just wish I could enjoy this pregnancy! Hoping that I'll feel better once I get past 16 weeks.

 

[joey300187]

my guess is boy based on skull (i cant see a nub) x

 

[ginny83]

[joey300187]
