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

[EpdTTC]

Thanks for your response Roonsma to my post yesterday. I'm still feeling pretty nervous about the baby today but I think less overwhelmed about some of my other worries. I really wish I could get some reassurance that baby is ok. Hard to just trust that all is well in there.

Hope everyone is doing well today.

It's hard at this stage isn't it because you just don't have any idea how things are going in there.

It sure is Vickie. I appreciate your understanding. I was beginning to think that maybe I was annoying the girls in here with my long whining posts lately as there haven't been many responses. I just feel like I am in a bad spot right now and feel like this is one of the few places I can vent, but maybe I need to keep a bit more of a lid on it sometimes. Maybe I shouldn't post when I am so upset and rambling. I did break down and call my OB's nurse today and I am going in tomorrow for a heartbeat check just to curb some of my anxiety hopefully. I hate feeling like this. I usually have pretty good control over my emotions, I just feel like being PAL has turned me into a crazy person.

Those who have dopplers, when did you find heartbeat? Id been bidding on a few on ebay, and everytime it was going to end and i was the highest bidder with a minute or so to go someone would bid again! , so i gave up and just ordered a hi-bebe from amazon, the way i see it if it puts my mind at ease then it doesnt matter how much it costs lol....OH didnt see it like that but who cares . Should arrive on thursday when im 12 weeks so hoping ill find it then x

Beadette best of luck tomorrow at your scan hun! x

 

[MissMaternal]

Mummy2Angel, i think some of the girls on here found it at 12 weeks or sooner (i know Jenny did) so it is definitely possible, but plleeaasse don't get worried if you can't find anything, it's still quite early and bubs may be hiding! I can't wait to get a doppler again. I hired one last time and i think i might buy one this time x

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

I always said i wouldnt get one, but with my '12 week scan' not being till almost 14 weeks i figured i need something to put my mind at ease, if i find it that is, FX'ed x

 

[Beadette]

I've found the HB every day since 11 weeks! It's very reassuring!

EPD - please do not feel you have to stop posting your thoughts on here, especially when you are anxious. I'm sorry I haven't replied to your earlier post - I'm on my iPhone at the mo as lappy broken so it's more difficult to scroll back through the pages. I'm sure no one has meant to not give you any support! Much love to you Hun!

I know what you mean about feeling crazy when PAL! But just remember we are in a very special club - no one wants to join the ranks of those with losses but once you do you are brought together with all these other special women who are a lot braver and stronger than others, people who will appreciate every second of having a child and who will never
take the little things for granted! That to me makes us all very special indeed!

Love to you all xxxx

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

Couldnt agree with your words more neen

Yay for finding it everyday from 11 weeks, must be so reassuring, hopefully when i arrives on thursday i'll be able to find it x

 

[Beadette]

Just take it slow at first and use small movements. I started very low near the hair line and just moved it slightly until I found it. The first time took quite a while but now I find it easy each day. Just don't panic as babys heart is so tiny and it can easily hide behind the placenta.

Another top tip! I listened to what babys heartbeat sounded like on YouTube videos so that I knew what I was listening for. You tend to find your own heartbeat easily but babys is very fast compared to your own! Xxxx

Don't ever think that, we're all in the same boat- feel free to offload anytime, i know sometimes this thread can be pretty fast moving and its easy to miss things.

You'll feel better after you've heard the babys HB, i've my appt on Thurs and even though its only 2 weeks since i last went i'm starting to feel the panic already, hold tight hun you'll be fine xx

Well girls the scan went really well, no obvious problems, baby looks amazing so big and clear! She took rubbish pics though but will upload them later. So stressed out I cried all over the place again, they must be sick of emotional old me! And we stayed strong and are still team yellow, even though hubby nearly caved lol! Such a relief feel like we're on the home straight now. Hope everyone else is doing well xx

Congrats rainbowpea! Xxxx

Thank you Neen. Very, very sweet of you hun. I'm sure that it's just me...I think the paranoia tends to spill into all areas of my life sometimes! Even though my losses were early, I still worry about something going wrong at this stage of the game as I know it is a possibility. Sometimes, I think I know too much about all the what ifs. Maybe ignorance really is bliss.

Thanks also for your tips on finding the hb. I'm not sure if I can't find it because my device isn't really a fetal doppler or if baby is just hard to find behind placenta, or my heart beat, or my chub! I think I will listen to some on YouTube to get more familiar with how it sounds different than mine.

Thanks Vickie. I think I will feel better too. wish I could find it with my own doppler-wish I had invested in one with a screen that counts hb so I would know for sure when I have mine and when I have baby's. Good luck for Thurs! The time between appointments is rough!

 

[EpdTTC]

Excellent news Rainbowpea! Congrats!

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

congrats rainbowpea x

 

[braijackava]

With my doppler, if I am not sure if it is my heartbeat or not, I will feel my pulse in my neck at the same time. That way if they are different I know its the baby, and the same I know its me. Hope that helps. It made me feel better.

Good luck to my darling Neen and to parkgirl today

Erin, please don't feel the need to keep a lid on it, everyone is in the same boat and will all be at varying degrees of craziness at different times (I for one am a complete paranoid mess this week) xxx

Happy 17 weeks to Posh & Min!
Happy 16 weeks Annie!
Happy 12 weeks Cheryl!
Happy 11 weeks MrMojo!
Happy 8 weeks Lucy!
