Hi blue bear and welcome

SDBL it is normal to worry and some women lose all their symptoms by 12 weeks if eveything was ok before christmas i am sure it will be fine tomorrow they can usually find the heartbeat on a doppler by now so i am sure they will check and find it first time do you have anyone at work that can scan you to put your mind at rest but try to just relax a little and i am sure it will all be fine is your appointment tomorrow with a midwife

HIya Sdbl, You can always use a stethoscope to hear some things, you may not hear the HB but I've learned how to tell the difference between gas, bowel sounds, and placenta sounds early on. Really helped me to feel at ease before each doc appointment. Now the baby moves so much I don't really listen with the scope as much. I had lost all symptoms for a while then some came back off and on. Hugs

SDBL, this other girl def has you freaked but if you were scanned 2 weeks ago then odds are baby is fine. I agree with DMN is there anyone you know at work who can scan you? Have you let your DH try and find the HB, sometimes it just takes someone else. I always find my bubs hb just above my pubic hair line so maybe you were looking a little high? But remember sometimes its just baby hiding that makes it hard to find HB you could try listening for the HB through the placenta it's not quite as fast and is more of a woosh woosh sound.

Oh I also wanted to rant a little, I keep seeing all these threads in first tri about these girls other halfs not reacting well and dumping them or the women dumping the guys etc and it just makes me think why the hell did you get pregnant if you weren't at least in a more committed relationship? I don't understand I mean you don't have to be married that is not for everyone but you should at least be in a stable committed relationship where both parties want the child and it seems like in these cases only one wants it or the relationship was crap to begin with. I feel sorry for those babies.

 

[SDBL23]

thanks ladies, yes I could go back to work and they would scan me, but I'm just being a little paranoid. I'm sure that things are fine. I have just been doppling at work when I'm there during the week, just once a week to try. I think they had been looking a little high, but never really had time to go back and try to find it myself. Thank you for letting me just rant, it helps just to get it all out sometimes, you know?

 

[dmn1156]

SDBL im sure tehy will find it first time tomorrow we all need to rant

kelly im with you you read it so much in 1st tri i mean im having a few probs at the moment but that is just cos i know my oh is taking the pee and thinks it is ok to not do anything and well i have other ideas but i think some of them dont realise how hard it is on a baby not having both parents around

 

[Kelly9]

yes, I am not knocking those in supportive stable relationships it's just when you read like 5 different threads of women saying my OH left me and I kicked him out etc etc it's like why are you bringing a baby into this! It makes me happy that my DH is pretty good we never fight and he has been making an effort. There are always going to be times when we annoy each other but thats normal.

 

[dmn1156]

i know there are always threads that make me annoyed sometimes it sounds like they got pregnant and then got rid of there partners

Hey Ladies... hope everyone had a great weekend... I had a busy one, took down the xmas tree and all decorations... and our stepmom is in the hospital for some life threatening blood clots so we spent the day there... sooo sad, she's only 44 yrs old and the drs are like up in the air if they can remove them or not.. could be too dangerous.. So DH and I went and spend some quality time - trying to stay positive... Just have to keep praying for her...

Well all in all I feel great! Ive been eating alot, thats for sure... I was reading the last few pages and looking at everyones tickers and I can not believe how time flys.... its incredible.... 5 more days and then we go for our next scan.... Yippee...

Wannabe - so happy DH found a new job.. That is awesome...

SDBL - honey dont worry too much... Its normal to be nervous but like Kelly said look for the heartbeat again but look right above you pelvic hair line, My baby was still really low like that even a few weeks ago.. So the HB is really low in the pelvic area... I bought the doppler to save me from worring, it takes awhileto find the heartbeat so dont give up on it..

DMN - sorry you OH is acting how he is.. Men are just clueless sometimes...

csunshine - sounds like you had a wonderful weekend.... Yay!!!!!

Sorrry if I forgot anyone else.. I had to read lots of pages and now prego brain is mush... LOL... Have a great night....

 

[Kelly9]

How bad is all of your guys preggo brains? I am worried it will make memorizing all the different drugs I'll need to know about to hard! lol. SPeaking of which when I get my books tomorrow I got a ton of reading already!

 

[dmn1156]

Kelly my brain is fine at the moment lol it only goes when i get too tired lol

melsue he unfortunately is completely clueless his mum used to go round picking up after him and well when he lived on his own i never went round there as it was always a state and took him 2 weeks to clear it up and out and i just refuse to clear up after him all the time so i have point blank said as he has nearly 2 weeks worth of washing he can do it and iron it all himself as i am not his mother and he needs to start helping and if he does not like it he knows where his mother lives got my hands full as it is lol

hope your all doing well today

afm i had to go for an internal scan today to test for the risk of pre term labour and pre eclampsia all was fine and she was really nice as well and re checked the babys gender as it said on screen they were only 85% sure of gender which i never knew so she asked if i wanted her to check for sure and i said yes please i would really like to know for definite and she said that she is a 100% sure it is a girl so im happy with that id been buying pink anyway lol

 

[Csunshine013]

Monday, Monday, Monday ARGH!

I don't like them! I am so very tired atm! I could have crawled right back into bed this morning and slept all day and probably all night too! I actually sleep in 3 hr intervals. Then I wake for about 2hrs then get very tired all over again.

My pipes in our basement we frozen yesterday had to wait for DH to get home from ice fishing to cut the sheet rock away and put the torch to them. It worked and laundry is now finished!

Hope your all doing well will check back after a while.

 

[Melsue129]

HI ladies...

DMN - sooo happy all is well and you got the 100% positive that its a girly in your belly... :Yipee:

Kelly - My prego brain is horrible I feel cloudy - I have sticky notes all over my desk at work and I write notes at home to remember to do things... Its crazy.. My DH even said its totally strange because he even notices a difference.... I suggest using notes or study cards with the drug names on them, when I was in college that helped me remember things alot instead of reading them out of a book go for the flash cards.... Hope that helps..

Csunshine - sorry about the frozen pipes those suck!!! I was 8 degrees this morning in Mass, I wasnt too happy to leave the house... Mondays totally suck - training a new girl at work on top of all of my responsibilities,, its taking alot of out me... boooo..

All in all I just had lunch and the babes is bouncing around in there soooo funny... Why do they move so much after we eat? Does anyone know of a study they did to prove why... Is it the sounds in our belly?

 

[dmn1156]

i think it is because they enjoy eating lol my lo has sleep and wake patterns now that i recognise i just hope she sticks to it once she is born i like the pattern lol not going to happen tho is it lol

 

[Csunshine013]

They say if you have a schedule before the baby comes, like bed by 10pm then the baby should follow that schedule, now that doesn't always happen and I will probably have the devil child this time but DD was sleeping through the night when she was a month old. She didn't sleep well when we stayed away from home though. So just waiting for this child to not want to sleep at all and all that fun jazzy stuff.

 

[dmn1156]

so far i feel her first movements between 7 and 9.30am and then again for a little while 10 and 12 then nothing for a while till about 3 till 6 pm and then a break for a while and then 10.30pm till 12.30 then nothing till morning i like it hopefully she will stick with it

 

[SDBL23]

sunshine, Its the sugars (energy). If we have a mom call in with decreased fetal movement, we ask when they ate last, and tell them to grab a peanut butter sandwhich or somthing with protien and some juice and lay down and just wait, the little ones normally kick right in.

dmn: congrats on the little girl!!! We're still planning to not find out, wish us luck, lol.

AFM: Dr. appt today, walked in fell asleep waiting, my mom and step dad were with me since dh had to work today, the doc came in and with one quick squirt of gel and one placement of the magical wand brought up babies heart beat loud and clear!! it just immediately popped up. We called and left a message on my husbands voice mail of the baby's heart beat, i cried. So yay!!

 

[dmn1156]

yay for heartbeat SDBL i thought they may find it firsst time they always know just where to look lol i am so excited to be having a girl and a little nervous all at the same time so used to boys now lol good luck not finding out i know i could not do it lol

 

[dmn1156]

i know how hard it is not too worry my frienddecided to tell me yesterday that her friend lost her baby at 39 weeks it mademe worry now im trying to not think about it as long as i feel movement in the morning and last thing at night i know things will be ok oh and still got a breech baby lol

 

[Kelly9]

Thats sad about your friend DMN! Do they know why or what happened?
I am shattered from class. Am wondering how I am going to bring enough food with me every day.
SDBL I want to know so bad I couldn't wait no matter what. Still so far away though!
ANyway I got readins to do so you'll likely hear less from me these days won't be on as much!

 

[westbrja]

Hi
How is everyone? Any news from Gumb? I'll find her journal. Hopefully she's posted there. Well I started school today. I got you beat Kel, my books were only $150 lol. Its only cuz I already had my A&P book from last quarter, so that saved me majorly. Glad to hear all was well with your appt dmn.
Csunshine - my girlfriends pipes freeze too. The line to the street is too shallow. Huge inconvenience!
SDBL - do you think its possible to feel flutters at week 10? Being my 3rd I remember the feeling and I swear I've felt a movement here and there this week. As you know many women start to feel better in their 2nd trimester. You're close to it so try not to worry much more than normal.
Hello to anyone I missed!
