Hello ladies, first of all I love you guys for helping me calm my nerves.
dairy, thank you so much for your advice. We're getting closer to Thursday for you!! I've had 3 horrible dreams this pregnancy. 2 were mc dreams and the other was where on an ultrasound they found that the baby had absolutely no bones. WHAT?! LOL!! Pregnancy messes with your mind for sure.
petitpas, thank you for your advice. I still haven't heard anything regarding my results, but the doctor said it can take about a week.
DSemcho, congrats on the awesome scan!!
Tasha, thank you. Yes as it's movements get more noticeable I won't feel the need to use my doppler if I can feel it moving. I can't wait to hear how your scan goes.
wookie, oh...that makes me feel so much better knowing you used your doppler every day with both your kids and they're perfect. Thank you.
SweetV, using my doppler is great reassurance inbetween scans and I have a long wait this time. 6 weeks!!! UGH!!!
loeylo, I have fat on my belly and I found my baby's hb at 9 weeks. But it doesn't always happen like that for everyone. It all depends on where baby is at and also where your placenta is at. It could be blocking your baby where you won't be able to find it. Some women can't find it until into the 2nd trimester sometimes. They are really amazing though. It's the best sound in the world.
I use aloe vera gel with my doppler and it works great!! Plus it's cheap!!
Just patiently (not really) waiting on my quad screening results and my clotting level results. Hurry up hurry up hurry up!! LOL!!

Peti I wasn't using expensive stuff, I was using aloe vera burn gel because I already had it in the house lol. But If I were doppler'ing all the time I'd run out constantly and be buying it a lot and me and DH are cheapos.
I'm already looking up online earliest people have heard the hb at home with a doppler. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. I think I won't even try until after my scan as I'm worried I will just stress myself out.
I have myself convinced this pregnancy is over and that when I go tomorrow they will tell me no heartbeat. I've heard this so many times before I've just come to expect it. I think I'm just trying to protect myself. I was feeling really confident but the idea of the scan being tomorrow and I was literally shaking.

Tasha-hope your scan goes brilliantly and that the day is full of happiness. Milestone days are so hard.
Sweet-I'm not even thinking about my scan tomorrow because I end up doing the same thing you are. And I was so convinced it was over during the weekend, I deleted my ticker and changed my signature to 10 losses. I'm refusing to change it back because I'm still thinking it's over too. FX we're both wrong and our scans show healthy bubs with strong hbs tomorrow.
AFM-another red blob last night and this one was bigger than a quarter. Thank goodness there's only one more day before I find out what the heck is going on in there. One more l-o-n-g day...And it's snowing, blowing, and COLD outside so doing chores tonight is probably going to leave me frozen. Ugh. Shaping up to be a terrific day...Note the heavy use of sarcasm.

Sweet/Dairy - good luck for your scans tomorrow 
Tasha - hope the scan went well today
D - glad the scan went well.
Has anyone else had an issue with eating certain foods leading to an upset stomach? Both lamb and beef seem to cause it. I worry a bit that things aren't ok (TMI) when the constipation goes as it's a pregnancy symptom I always get.

Good morning ladies,
Sweet, I'm praying your scan tomorrow will give you peace of mind. I got that way with my last one. I was literally shaking too I was so nervous.
Tasha, I pray your scan goes amazing for you today and it turns from a rough day to a great day. Anxious to hear how it went.
dairy, I'm praying your scan tomorrow will give you peace of mind as well.
blue, some foods irritate my belly too. I think it's all just part of being pregnant.
AFM: So tempted to call my doctor's office to see if they've heard anything on my quad screen/clotting results yet. My doctor said it can take about a week and I just had it done on Friday and it's only Wednesday, but it's so hard to wait for something like this. I'm trying to keep my mind off of it because I get anxiety when I think of getting bad news. Saying lots and lots of prayers.

Blue, meat upset my tummy in first tri. I worried for the same reason.
Mrs R, usually if it's bad news you hear quicker.
Thank you girls. It was an okay scan. Rudi has gone down on the centiles, not massively so, so not so much of a worry for right now. My placenta, the Doppler readings weren't great, every woman who has had the same reading as me at this gestation went on to have an IUGR baby. It is not the best news but it's okay for right now. I Have to see an anaesthetist to discuss plans for a c-section as that seems more likely now but it is complicated because of my high dose Clexane (in an emergency situation I would know to stop it). I'm actually okay with it all, baby has lots of fluid, it's not an IUGR baby atm and we know what the future potentially holds.
Will upload photos tomorrow x

Tasha - thank you. It's so nice to have a group that understands. Even my poor DH is at a loss some days. How was your scan today?
Dairy - I haven't the nerve to remove the ticker yet as it is the hope that makes today ok. I can understand entirely why you have though. One more sleep. We can do this. I really hope your scan goes well tomorrow.

Hey ladies,
blueblue, thank you. The wait is KILLING me!!
Tasha, I'm so sorry your scan didn't go perfect. But if your doctor's fell all is well right now, then that's great news. I'll be praying baby continues to grow strong and healthy. As far as if it's bad news I'd get my results quicker, is that the case even if my doctor said it could take a week to come back? I gave in and called today just to see if "maybe" they came in and still nothing. The receptionist said "no news is good news". So I figured I'd wait until Friday. That will be one week.
Good luck to all the ladies with scans tomorrow. I look forward to hearing about them.

Tasha - baby is alive and well that's all that matters right now just out of curiosity what were the birth weights of your first two children?
My best friend was just induced at 37 weeks due to the concern that the baby was small. Baby weighed 4lbs 14oz at birth. It was her first. Is that considered iugr? Does that mean she had placental issues and could have them again ? She only gained 9lbs her whole pregnancy. Baby is strong and doing well though. Didn't even need a nicu stay thankfully

Tasha - I'm not sure why I didn't see your post before mine posted. I too am sorry the scan was not exactly what you may have wanted to hear but you have approached it with a great attitude. Have you had a c-section before?

Yay for scan day!!! ^_^
I didn't get mu Doppler in the mail until 12 weeks so I'm not sure. But I know that I found it the second day with a lot of trying. But I'm over weight and had a tipped uterus.
Darn you long day!! >_< I hope you get some positive answers!
What does IUGR mean??

Hope, sweetv and dairy good luck at your scans today. I feel like I'm missing someone but can't remember who. So if I am, I apologise.
Mrs R, yes it is the same. We all get told one week but my friends who have had bad news have all heard within 2 days, 3 at most.
Newly interestingly my first two babies were great weights despite pre-eclampsia. It was only Honey, Kaysie Blossom and Riley Rae that were small. Her baby would of been under the 10th percentile, so that's a warning sign of IUGR however a small baby doesn't always equal IUGR, it could be a small for gestational age baby (SGA) meaning that is normal for the baby. IUGR is under the 10th and not maintaining its centiles (although some Drs will treat as IUGR if they were say 50th, then 40th and so on). The future depends on the reason her baby was small, if it's SGA then her baby's might all be small (and small doesn't equal unhealthy), if you have one IUGR baby then your chances of another double, if you have more than one then they double again. However as you can see from my history nothing is certain.
Sweetv, I did with one of my babies (the last one I bought home), she had fetal distress so it was an emergency one and get placenta was awful so I'm glad that happened. I would choose vaginal over section but it wasn't as bad as I thought would be and ultimately I don't care how it gets here as long as it's screaming
D, it's interuterine growth restriction. It's what my two girls died of as it means reduced blood flow (and eventually none), lack of oxygen and neturients.
