PAL Summer 2011 Babies - From 1st tri to MC and back again in one go.

Great pic, Sarah! I LOVE THAT!

Eve - Baby is still pretty small, honey... You can miss him/her easily... especially if s/he's hiding!

Embo - I'm sorry today is rough for you. I imagine the wait to 12 weeks will be difficult. I hope you can get in earlier. I know I'm probably going to be waiting from 8-12 weeks after next Friday.

I know Meg, it's just I've tried 3 times with a full bladder [like it says] and haven't even been able to pick up the placenta!!

It's the angelsounds one I've got...

Hi everyone,

Welcome to everyone who's new, nice to hear from you all.

Sarah lovely scan pic, really pleased everything is ok.

Eve having exactly same problem with doppler, its driving me insane, and I'm also starting to get irrational too. I can definitely hear the placenta whooshing so I assume that means everythings ok????

We're still having our usual nightmare with George. He's done to half days at school this week and now he's at home today. He was supposed to see the consultant on the 25th, got a letter this morning saying they're going to have to change it to the 20th (which is gonna be really awkward to get to), I've just phoned them and explained that his eye is really swollen and painful and they're going to see him in the morning. I won't be able to go as I'm working but Rob can take him. I feel so sorry for him, the op was on the 8th December, one eye is fantastic the other really swollen.

I know nothing much really about dopplers... I do know that I shouldn't ever buy one though!

It's the angelsounds one I've got...

That's the one I've got, I wonder if the units maybe a little too big at this stage to get it low enough down???
I know there are a lot of people who have heard it early. But I googled it and ended up reading stuff on other forums, I wonder how many people have actually heard their own or the placenta rather than the babies heartbeat. There were a few commenting on the speed of the heartbeat (saying around 90 bpm, definitely there's) and others describing what sounds to me like the placenta. Somebody else (I think on here) was saying they'd recorded it and when SIL had listened to it she'd told them it wasn't the babies but the mummy's!!!

 

[Megg33k]

Yeah, lots of people don't quite do the doppling correctly! And, TONS of women mistake the placenta for a heartbeat! Poor girls not realizing that they're listening to the wrong thing!

 

[Aaisrie]

I FOUND IT!!! I tried to hit record on the computer but lost it moving... dammit!! I ended up using some stretch mark cream I had and found it nearly straight away so I think maybe the dryness was affecting it. I can't find it again though, just for about 10secs!! Next time I'll try and get a recording for you!!

That sucks about Georges eye but hopefully they'll be able to sort something for him tomorrow

 

[Aaisrie]

I counted it at 156bpm :] Here you go.. you will have to turn your volume way up and listen carefully because there's shitty background noise!
Fetal Heartbeat @ 156bpm

LOL Does it sound like a boys hb??

 

[Pippin]

I have no idea lol just it's the same bpm as Sam's was. This one is 168-174 so a lot higher.

 

[Aaisrie]

Oooooo I don't know what Saraya's was! I wonder if I still have her sound file!!
