[jenny25]

me too hun i get that from time too time nothing to worry about xxx

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

Dont worry i get it all the time, loads of it, alot of people ask about it on first tri and most people say they get it and its normal x

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

Jenny what kind of doppler have you got? how far down did you search for hb at 9 weeks? i wish i hadnt ordered mine now im scared it'll come and i wont find it how long did you all take to find heartbeat first time? x

 

[jenny25]

i have i hibebe lcd doppler hun i found it far left just at the pubic bone first time i used it it took me a little bit to find it i had to move the probe in circle motions on the spot until i found it xxx

 

[Megg33k]

Fantastic, Tibs!!! And, you're talking about a size difference of 4mm. Do you know how slight 4mm is? You just keep growing that gorgeous little bean!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Ahh ok I won't worry too much. I've always had loads of CM anyway (when I was a teenager I HATED it!!!) so it's increased in pregnancy and that's fine, but this was so stretchy and proper EW like I just panicked.

One week today till the scan. Eeeek!

im so sorry to hear about your friend but i think she should hold off on the d&c until she can have a cvs or amnio

i'd hold off too, definatly go get a 2nd opinion or something...
unless i get a decent explanation... and even then, i'd ask to wait a week!

i guess my OH will know the details when he gets home from work

only thing i can think of is something wrong with the heart, bc that's what he tested on our baby today,
something with blue and red, shows how functional it is.
i guess if something was wrong there it can mean it's not viable in the long run?

The red and blue shows how blood is circulating!

I found something dont know if it was baby, placenta or own heartbeat though , was looking on amazon to return item and order one with LCD insted but i dont have a printer to print label of for returns x

 

[jenny25]

well everything went well with mw had a great chat about things and she is refering me to councilling and suggested hypnotherapy for me , i might not be able to have a water birth but it all goes on what my consultant says next week im gutted at that , but i have decided im going to get sterilized after this baby cause i dont want anymore kids after this one x

You can print at your local library for about 10p

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

never thought of that deb thanks i said i wouldnt panic but i am now

 

[lovehearts]

there is an option to do something if you havnt got a printer - i think you have to pay to return the parcel but they refund you a certain amount only. I remember reading it when i returned a doppler i bought off there the other week.

So more brown this morning. i am totally fed up - i have a scan tomorrow at 11.15, i had to put my foot down and push for it but its been going on for nearly 3 weeks now. I hope they can give me some answers as to wether they can still see the bleed and how much i have left to expect. The only thing that worried me was TMI - this morning there was a brown strechy glob....dont know what that was. I just want some answers now. im really scared. I listened to the HB this morning and its still beating away in there so what are the chances it will be alright?

morning girlies i have my first bump pic for u now cam is fixed YAY took it this morning im 11 weeks today, im off to hosp now for my anti-D jab argh i do hate them,they have changed they way they do them now, they only give u 1 now at 28 weeks instead of 3 at different stages 1 being after birth, but coz iv had bleeds they want give me 1 extra for safety , so 2pm im being stabbed with one nice dead back side for rest of the day ....oh how i love being rhesus neg LOL, anyways on good note my piccie

oh and pls dont mine the horrid stretch marks from previous pregnancys

 

[SmileyShazza]

Am playing catch up so excuse me if I go back a bit!

Congratulations on the scan Rainbowpea – great to hear that all was well

EPD I sometimes get that feeling too if I say something and it doesn’t get acknowledged but then I remember that the thread moves really quickly and sometimes it can be hard for everyone to keep up. I know exactly what you mean though as I feel like sometimes I am being overly anxious and getting on peoples nerves but none of us can help it – unfortunately it’s the way it seems to be when PAL.

I’ve also had trouble finding HB with my Doppler. I have given up trying as I really worry that continuously trying and failing to find it will just stress me out even more. Hope you are ok

So happy for you Neen – baby bead is definitely photogenic

Great news on the scan Patsy – lucky you getting to see bubs twice in 10 days

Cesca – I get random bits of EWCM from time to time properly freaked me out the first time too but apparently it’s quite normal to still get it during pregnancy.

Welcome to Marnie

Well not much going on here. Have had a constant headache for the past 4 days which is really starting to get annoying now – had asked the midwife about them last week and she said just drink more water so am knocking it back like there’s no tomorrow, just as well we don’t have to pay to use the toilet I’d be broke! unfortunately the extra water doesn’t seem to be making much difference to my headache though

I think I can see my bump starting to get a little bigger, some of my clothes are getting uncomfortable now and don’t sit right anymore so something must be going on. Think I’ll leave it a couple of weeks to do another bump picture though as there should be quite a bit of difference then.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunshine (well those in the UK)

i now have my 20 week scan date. Friday 22 october at 8am. 8am omg tht really early lol not sure what im gonna do yet cuz i dont have anyone to watch the kids for me. tyler needs to be at school but im gonna have to bite the bullet and ask sum1 to have them for me. i neva eva usually ask any1 to have them

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

Well doppler was a bad idea, there are tears and all sorts ive given up if my baby is dead...then its dead i guess ill find out next frida, going to send doppler back far to much upset and anxiety x

 

[debgreasby]

I found badger's heartbeat at 10+6 .. then not again for 3 weeks!

Leave it till you are a bit calmer, panicking won't help.

 

[EpdTTC]

Hooray for a great scan TB (hugs to your friend)

Congrats on 12 wks Mummy! Try not to panic. I can't seem to find hb with my doppler either but they always find it at the doc. My doc strongly advised me against getting one and said it would likely cause panic. If you are worried, see if you can see your MW or doc to check the hb for you.

Welcome Marnie!

Lianne-Kicks!!! So cool! I can't wait for kicks!

Glad the MW visit went well Jenny.

Lovehearts-I know the brown and CM is scary but I'd say if you hear baby's hb then that kind of trumps the other stuff! When I had spotting a couple of wks ago, they checked my cervix and listened for the heartbeat and based on those two things, determined baby was fine.

Beautiful bump Patsy!

Thanks Shazza! Hope your headache gets better. We are about the same due date and I am starting to feel a tad more uncomfortable when I bend over etc and think bump is growing too!

AFM-heard hb at doc's office yesterday. I moved my gender scan to Oct 15th at 9:30am and my 20 wk scan, which will be more like 21 1/2 wks is Nov 10th.

Thank you Epd - you always reply to me and reassure me xx
