PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

I cant decide whether I want one with a LCD read out or if I can do without....hmm
Angel sounds is the cheapest one to buy- I think. And then they range from 40 +. I would prob use it and then want to sell it on There must be a site we can get them second hand from women who want to sell them on. Ebay hasnt worked out much cheaper than the rental or purchase sites
How did you find your Bestman Jenny? I havent come across that brand in my research!

 

[petitpas]

I think I'd definitely want one with an LCD. Might start investigating in a month or so...

 

[Beadette]

Me too - I think I'll invest if all is well at 12w scan. But I'll see how I feel. My mw said she would listen to hb from 12w and if I was ever worried she'd see me to check. I think maybe her checking would be better than me as I'd no doubt panic if I couldn't find it! X

 

[Minimin]

I wonder if my Midwife would do that- would my Doc surgery have that if I went to see the nurse do you think!

 

[Beadette]

I think a lot of mw's start at about 15-16 weeks but mine said she listens from 12 week onwards x

 

[Minimin]

OK- I will be seeing my midwife after my 13w anomaly scan this Thursday. She hasnt given me a date as yet but I think I wil have to call her. I will check with her then. it would be nice to be able to call up and get them over if you are worried

I'm only planning on using it a couple of months or i'll get obsessed.

AFM - my best friend just found out she is pregnant ... totally unplanned ... she's in a right state. They only been together about 3 months and just split up last week
Ah well, takes my mind off worrying about me!

Also my month old washing machine has gone bang! Now got to wait for an engineer to fix it. Not having the best day

i bought mine off ebay for about £50 i bought the wii fit a few weeks before that and sold it cause i found out i was pregnant so the money i got for the wii i got the doppler hun my friend tara got the hb at about 9.5 10 weeks with that one xxx

 

[Lianne1986]

if u have a very nice midwife (like mine) she wud prob try from about 10 weeks, mine did and she said to me bcause she knew how paranoid i was, tht she wud quickly check babys heartbeat every week if i wanted to

 

[Charliemarina]

Welcome Stay Positive!

I thought about a doppler this am. I have been spoiled with my weekly scans at the RE's office and I know it will not be like that at OBs office. Not sure if I would find a doppler reassuring between scans or if it would just give me one more thing to worry about!

 

[jenny25]

hey girls can i ask a question i have been put back on metformin , and i have been having these weird tummy cramps not all the time but now and again then i need to dart too the loo and i have got the runs is this normal cause it keeps freaking me out i dont know if i should bother my mw x

 

[Chimpette]

Hello ladies,

Hope everyone is ok.

I don't think I'll be getting a doppler, only because I know I would become obsessed with it. We've got the private scan booked for the 29th and then we have our 20 week scan on the 27th October, and i'm hoping I'll be feeling fatty move about then, so I'm hoping that will keep me sane.... fingers crossed.

I've just booked my glucose test, I have to have one at 16 weeks because I had gestational diabetes with my son, so fingers crossed I won't get it this time.

[debgreasby]

Good luck with the GTT Chimpette

 

[Tulip]

Hey girls, sorry I'm letting you down this wk, totally manic. Will update you all and add newbies as soon as I get time to breathe. Big loves to all xxx

 

[Beadette]

Chimpette your 20 week scan is on my birthday!! Yeay!! X

 

[~BumpyRide~]

Just checking in... 1 more week down today! (coinciding with the first day of kindergarten) And still no more spotting. I'm feeling good, if a little ass-draggy, booby bruised, and heartburned. We went away to a little cabin on the island for the weekend, which was nice - the stars were brilliant. The folks that own it have a beautiful little baby girl they had via ivf that took the first time out of the gate - she's bright and healthy and her mommy's got several years on me, which is saying something. It was inspiring and made me smile.

Doc's appointment Thursday... I'm looking forward to it, my longtime (and much loved) doctor was away last time, so I haven't seen her since we got our and know she'll be so excited for us. 8 weeks. Sigh. Welcome new ladies!!! Happy Tuesday everyone!

 

[mislaww]

Hey ladies! Welcome to Lover and staying positive! Congrats!

I can't believe we're at due dates of May 13 now - any day now the Summer 2011 group will be getting started!

Patsy - Glad to see you back! I have tons of saliva. Probably because I'm gagging all the time. I'm 11 weeks, 6 days and the guides tell me it's supposed to have eased off and so far, no luck...

AFM, I'm seriously losing sleep over what kind of kitten to get, and where to get it from....

Also starting to get nervous about sharing the news with everyone - especially work. Assuming (fingers crossed) everything goes well with the scan next week, it'll be right after! We have to get it out to friends soon, because we'll be going to a wedding and we'd like it to be old news by their big day. And I'm too chubby and won't be drinking so i can't wait til after. Gah!

hey girls can i ask a question i have been put back on metformin , and i have been having these weird tummy cramps not all the time but now and again then i need to dart too the loo and i have got the runs is this normal cause it keeps freaking me out i dont know if i should bother my mw x

It's normal! When I first started taking metformin I would be running to the loo almost bent double! It did pass but my god it was not pleasant! I'd tell your midwife anyway as if the problem goes on you might need to change medication. I've been on modified release metformin for a while now (glucophage XL) and it did have fewer side effects so might be worth asking about.
Good luck and just stay near the loo for a while!
