I heard little ones heartbeat today! 8+6 with a full bladder :) this being my 4th pregnancy that’s gotten to this point I’m quite experienced in using the Doppler so I was able to find it in about 2 minutes. It was so wonderful to hear!!! I wish I could upload a video as it’s beautiful, sounds like a little train!

On a less good note, me and DH have been fighting a lot lately. I’ve not been well with the nausea etc so the housework hasn’t been kept up etc and I’ve struggled a lot. However, when he gets in from work all he does is moan, shout at the kids and complain about everything. The one day I managed to clean up and cook dinner he still moaned and complained so why do I bother? If he helped out with the kids etc then I would really make more of an effort to try, but considering I do 100% of everything to do with them I don’t see why I should?! I work as well as a childminder so my day revolves around children and I’m tired too!

Just argh!!! I’m stressed enough without him adding to it.

Oh and to make matters worse, he keeps begging me for sex but I’m on strict pelvic rest due to my extremely sensitive cervix. So we haven’t dtd since conception. I know he wants sex and I know a lot of the problem between us is sexual tension because I feel so disconnected from him, but we simply can’t. I’m not risking this pregnancy for anything.

He’s just an arse :(
 
Brilliant news beachbaby! :cloud9:

Cookie how lovely you found the HB :) I’ve been trying for a week but no luck, I am still early though and possibly not even quite 8 weeks so I’m not worried over it.
I feel you on the house work! I’m struggling too, OH hasn’t moaned thank god and he’s been quite helpful because I’ve told him straight these few weeks are gonna be hard, and I need to be as stress free as possible. Maybe sit down and have a talk with hubby and let him know how your feeling and how you need him to be acting?
I understand you on the closeness part as we’ve not DTD either and I definitely feel a bit separated from OH.
It’s not forever though, hopefully in a few weeks we’ll be feeling more ourselves and things will go back to normal (Just with more to look forward to!) :hugs:
 
My husband seems convinced that our baby is a boy; I think this is because all of his friends only have boys. We would both be happy either way as long as the baby is happy and healthy :happydance:
 
We have a girl name but no idea for a boy. Finlo is a Manx name (ie from the Isle of Man) and was my husband’s dad’s name so we would probably pick another Manx one. Our girl name is quite an old fashioned name. We also have a 5 letter thing. All 6 of my brothers’ kids have 5 letters and we have Finlo too. Our girl name is 7 letters but she’d be known by the short form which is 5!

My bleeding has finally stopped. It’s been 2 weeks since my heavy bleeding and I’ve had brown gunk since 2 days after that but today I had normal coloured discharge. I’m really hopeful it might mean the haematoma has all come out and my scan on Monday will be clear. I’ve not rested at all. Just continued with normal life looking after an active 1 year old. If the haematoma has grown, I’ll scale things down otherwise normal life continues with return to work in 9 days.
 
Does anyone know how far along you have to be to be able to have a regular ultrasound done as opposed to a vaginal ultrasound?
 
Oreo, I had a regular ultrasound done at 6 weeks and 5 days. The tech doing the ultrasound said that if she could not see anything she would have to try the vaginal one. We were able to see the baby with the regular one, so the vaginal was not needed. I do think that most early ultrasounds tend to be the vaginal kind though.
 
Elliecain- glad your bleeding has stopped! Hope your hematoma has gone away.

Certifiedoreo- I had a abdominal ultrasound at just shy of 9 weeks and we could see everything no problem. The midwives I see do them as early as 8 weeks I think.
 
Yeah, I want to wait to schedule my first appointment until I could have a regular ultrasound done lol. Thanks for the info peonies and amber!
 
CertifiedOreo: If you can stand waiting till 9wks then that’s the perfect balance between wanting an early look vs getting good results with an abdo scab AND baby actually looking like a baby instead of a grey blob.

I’ve booked myself in for a Harmony test at 10w5d, and that’s going to be my first scan. Going to ask for the gender; really want a girl, and whilst a boy will be loved and cherished I need a few months to get used to the idea before he arrives!

Hope everyone else is doing well. I’m now at the stage where the HG can go do one. This time is worse than the last two times - even with medication I’m still randomly heaving throughout the day. Went for a walk this morning and a couple in a car parked on the opposite side of the road looked at me like I was scum when I had to stop and have a few retches until my stomach settled down!
 
I’m feeling terrible with an upper respiratory and sinus infection. I’ve been coughing so violently that I’m scared I’ve hurt the baby. It’s racking my body. My lower abdomen feels so sore from the coughing. I can’t wait until my next scan in a week and a half to see if everything is ok.
 
I used to be able to drink coffee all morning until 12 or 1 and then I would have my first meal of the day but now I have to force myself to drink coffee when I actually do and I have to eat not too long after I get up cause my stomach is going crazy with hunger pains! Also after I eat I feel so full, tired and sick. Then within a few more hours I am hungry again! Its so weird, I get really hungry but nothing appeals to me, but I have to force myself to eat. I usually feel better in the evenings though but I miss my energy and its such a chore to go and workout. I want this feeling to be over!
 
Everything you described Oreo is me! Except I can’t even force myself to drink coffee cos I’ve completely gone off it.
 
Amy- LOL its the only energy boost I can get and I only drink it on days I work out...speaking of, my will power is seriously dying I might stop haha. I'm glad i'm not alone in my symptoms! I should be grateful that I haven't thrown up I suppose. I never did with my other two either.
 
I haven’t been able to find the heartbeat again which I know is totally normal because at this stage I’m lucky I found it once!
I see the midwife tomorrow for my booking in appointment :) that’s always exciting. I still haven’t got notification of my 12 week scan though so I’ll ask her then.
Feeling up and down sickness wise. It definitely isn’t as bad as it was which is great, although any variation in my symptoms always makes me panic a little lol.
 
I’m sick at least once a day, and feel sick most of the day but I’m still managing to eat so not too bothered by it.
OH has to do most of the cooking, cleaning etc poor guy haha I am just tired and nauseous constantly.

Aw Cookie, I haven’t found the heartbeat yet. It’s great you’ve found it once! You may get your scan apt at your booking in apt, they do that here :) hope it goes well!
 
Oh no amytrisha I hate sickness. Luckily it’s not overly bothering me any more. Week 8 was just awful, but it’s really calmed down. Only been sick 4 times since the sickness started at week 6. And now it’s only bothering me if I get hungry. I still have massive food aversions and cannot eat most things but I’m surviving on cereal and chocolate lol!

I tried again with the Doppler and heart the heartbeat again! I need to limit myself to only trying once a week at this early stage though as even though I would never use it to medically reassure myself in the later stages and would always seek medical advice and help, I get a little obsessed with hearing the heartbeat x
 
I'm 7 weeks today! I'm getting more and more positive but still trying to stay realistic. My first scan is in 2 days!! Ughhhhhh... Do you automatically hear the heartbeat when they do a vaginal scan? Or is there something they have to do? I'm glad everyone is doing well and I hope that anyone who is having problems that they clear up 💙

My last day of work is also Tuesday... I put in my two week notice... Scary!!! But dh is beyond supportive so I'm excited to start my new job as a stay at home furmom- soon to be mommy :)
 
Enjoy your last day of work, Boognishrises! When I had my scan done, we could see the heartbeat. It looked like a really neat flash of light. The tech counted the number of heartbeats per minute for us. My scan was an abdominal one, but I imagine that your tech will check the heartbeat with a vaginal scan too.
 
I’m terrified. I have a scan tomorrow to see what’s going on with my SCH but I’m just so scared because my nausea disappeared last week. But then I remind myself that it went at 8 weeks with Finlo too and I still have the odd bit of heartburn and my nipples are agony when Finlo breastfeeds.
I just pray the baby is fine. I’m 8+3 today.
I wonder how big the haematoma is now. After 2 days of red blood and 11 days of brown gunk, I’m on day 3 of normal coloured discharge now. I just hope so much that means the SCH will have gone.
So scared.
