They sell it. I think I saw it on Amazon.com. I will be googling it once I find a new charger for my computer. Battery is almost dead and DH shorted the other one out last night
Let me know if you find any!

Wiggler so sorry your in pain a friend of mine had spd its not nice at all.

I have a doppler from when I had Emily its just a cheap angelcare one no lcd display. I have tried it but cannot pick up a heartbeat just yet.

Hope I used johnsons baby oil gel before I got my gel.

Can't wait to hear of the upcoming scans this week.

I had my booking in appt this afternoon just Borning paperwork. But another milestone.

Yay that's great Blue!!!

 

[debzie]

Great news blue Whoo hoo.

Anyone else have experience with giant cysts on the ovaries?
I have PCOS so it is to be expected but I have a cyst on my right
ovary and this week is measuring at 69 mm. It is painful once in a
while doc assured me there is no risk to the baby and it is more of
a nuisance and should go away on it's own. I was just wondering
if anyone else has dealt with it and how long it to to go away.

i have a sonotrax b doppler and just got a 5mhzs probe because my old one broke only need gel now and im good to go lol

how are you today

 

[AllMacsNow]

Congrats, Blue!

I don't have much experience with cysts, though... had a few (years ago), but they were never that large or painful. I hope it works itself out.

Flutter, I'm jealous. Ok, you guys have talked me into it... if all goes well with the scan tomorrow, I'll be ordering a doppler. Now the trick is to wait to pull it out until our anniversary. I think that'll be a neat gift for The Hubs... he's impossible to buy for, but is so anxious for this baby. I think hearing it whenever he wants will be nice. (Not to mention *I* want to, lol.) I definitely need one with the LCD display, though, so I don't end up just listening to my heart

congrats on the great scan Blue eyes! Wooot!

The you go AllMacsNow

Got a phone call from the Dr office just now... moved my appt. up to 11:30 from 3:45. Whoohoo! I realize it's only a few hours, but every little bit counts right now, lol. WANT TO SEE MY BABY!

So because of the issues I had with my obgyn's partner around the time of my mc I have decided to switch obgyns (I wrote about this experience on the first page of my journal) . I am actually switching practices altogether. I do not want to risk his jerk partner being there when I deliver. It kind of makes me sad, feel guilty and frankly alittle angry because I really do like my obgyn but I can't get over how his partner treated me and my family. Plus if I stayed with them the drive to the hospital would be 40 mins to an hour although it was were I was born and it would be cool for my child to be born in the same place. The practice I am switching to works out of the new hospital that is 6 mins from my house and 1 min from my mom's so that is a plus. Just wish I did not feel so guilty.

That's great news!

Thanks, Blue.

You don't have to feel guilty. You do what works best for you and your family. I haven't read your story yet, but will hop over to your journal in a while to do that. That being said, whatever happened with this guy has made you uncomfortable, and this is the time in your life when you need things to go YOUR way. This is the time to be selfish.

When my DS was born, I definitely had 1 of 2 doctors I'd have rather had (no big issues, just preference). It turned out, DS was late, and the doc was on vacation. I got the other guy. No big deal for me, but if it would be for you, I say now's the time to switch!

Plus, it's great that this puts you so close to the hospital where you'd deliver.

hopefully you find you like the new practice better than the old one altogether and makes it that much better. The closer drive is such a perk too hope it goes well there! BTW don't feel too guilty, I haven't read your journal, but poor bedside manner, rudeness, lack of sympathy etc is not something any woman should have to put up with whether the results are good or bad. If your OBGYN ever questions why, I'd certainly not hesitate to tell them!

Thanks perpetual. I think I will call the practice and talk to the managing doctor and explain my complaints because I am not the only patient he has made uncomfortable apparently he has gone as far as throwing a chair and yelling at a nurse in front of a patient. I have even talked to nurses that dread working with him. I hope this will help prevent other women from having to go through what I did with that jerk.
I am hopeful I will like this practice. They recently did my mom hysterectomy and she absolutely loves them. It is a husband and wife team and she said she felt like she had two surgeons for the price of one because both were in the operating room. And unlike my previous practice were there was no guarantee which doctor would be there for the birth this practice allows you to choose which doctor you would prefer and even if they are not the one on call they come in to deliver you.
I meet them this Saturday. They say even though I am still being seen by my fs they would like to see me so I can get comfortable with them and so they can get accustom with my case and be proactive in treatment because of my history.

I need to get through the next 6 days....as 10w5d was when I started bleeding last time. Really hope this is a sticky bean.

 

[PerpetualMama]

your journal gave me chills, Blue eyes I'm so glad things seem to be turning around for you and your little peanut is "sticking" around

I don't blame you for switching, his partner seems like an @$$. At least leave the lady with some dignity after crush her
