How are you feeling, hun?

January 6!!!!???!!!! It's gonna be a special day, i'll be 30 then.... ok again, good night

 

[Kirsty3051]

Not long at all! Are you planning on finding out the gender when possible or going team yellow?

I'm good! I'm still on bed rest and having irregular contractions but everything was looking fine at my appointment on Monday. My bump is getting really itchy so think I'll get my first stretch marks any time soon. Can't wait to give birth now!! X

I already shared this on the other forum, but here is baby at 8 weeks. Measuring exactly 8w1d and heart rate is 162bpm

I'm glad for awesome scans Jess and Kenna!

Kirsty Your 1st stretch mark now?????????? I already have 2 at almost 13 weeks! This is not on

AFM I think the antibiotics are working... I have hardly any discomfort in the kidney area where the pains were. I'm trying to get in lots of water so flush the system. Still very nauseous. I got EMEX syrup from the pharmacy yesterday. It seems to help for about an hour after I take it. It just takes the worst of the nausea away but does not do anything to help me eat... I cannot force feed myself it feels impossible so I kind of feel like I am constantly hungry....

 

[mdscpa]

Glad you're feeling a bit better now Pamela....

Did you get a schedule for another scan?

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I have to go again on Monday for a urine test @ 10h00 am and he will then do another ultrasound at my request to see if baby is still okay.

I'm not that worried about baby having been affected by the meds because my nausea is killing me. It would just be nice to see the movement still and ask him to measure again and see what we are looking like at 13w2d

 

[mdscpa]

Ok, so here's our baby's heartbeat that keeps on confusing us..... We really need to tell the sonographer next time to look in my entire uterus and not just put the probe on one side.... I remember him asking me if I have a problem while he was doing a scan... I just said no, nothing... We should have ask why he asked me that question... Oh, well, few more weeks and hopefully we get a concrete answer...

I am sooooooooo absolutely green with jealousy about your cool Doppler!!

I feel like a complete idiot! I bought mine 2nd hand and the other day I was using it and the probe was lying on my leg while I was getting ready and it was on. I heard the exact same bloody sound that I thought was the heart beat (galloping horse etc)

I ended up testing all kinds of parts of my body and the same sound on my bum haha: ), arm, foot etc.
The only time I can hear a heart beat is when I do my own. I'm assuming that the sounds I'm hearing is blood through my veins or something. In conclusion my Doppler does not find the baby's heart beat. Stinky ass Doppler
** rant over **

You'll get the hang of it.... I too can't get it only DH knows how to maneuver it..... A slight movement do the trick.. Even when you're on the same spot just move it so little can make the heartbeat disappear.... We are just so lucky hearing it on both sides if it's really one.... I believe it's one.. DH thinks it's two.... So we are betting which one of us is correct.

 

[mdscpa]

I just noticed that my birthmark looks like a heart shape at this angle.

That's my left spot where we hear one of the heartbeats, coincidence eh!!!???

 

[MolGold]

Daph - Aw what a cute birthmark to have! I see you have the Linea Nigra now - A dark line from navel to the pubic bone, telltale sign of pregnancy. I am gonna go home and check if Ive got it!

Jess - great scan pic!

 

[mdscpa]

DH started to see it before I did few weeks ago.... Now it's just so obvious... Yes, indeed, I am pregnant....

 

[Kirsty3051]

Your 1st stretch mark now?????????? I already have 2 at almost 13 weeks! This is not on

I've been moisturising twice a day since I found out because I knew I'd end up looking like a tiger by the end if I didn't use anything

 

[Jrepp]

Daphne, I wouldn't worry about the heartbeat on the Doppler. From the right side you could be tryng to hear it through so many more things than the left (placenta, obstruction etc). Of course I can't say don't tell your doctor. If you are concerned they can hook you up to a machine and monitor your Los heart rate for a bit.

 

[mdscpa]

Thanks Jess. I'm not worried at all about the hearbeat. Just confused how we can pick it up feom both sides. Still we are thankful to hear it strong up to today.... Just wanna get a concrete picture down there and clear answer from my doc on our mext appointment which feels like forever... I can wait i know i can....

 

[SweetMelodies]

I currently have 5 ish stretch marks lol .. not that I'm counting or anything. One on each hip, one under the bump and 1 under each breast. Like Kristy I've been using a decent amount of moisturizer and also the fact that my weight gain has been slow probably helped with keeping the stretch marks to a minimum. So far I've gained 20 lbs. I thought I'd be a tiger by now (there is still time) I have stretch marks all along my lower back and legs from when I went through a growth spurt when I was about 13 so I thought I would get tons while pregnant.


Also Happy 35 weeks Kristy! I can't believe we only have 35 days to go!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Well fx that none of us end up like tigers when we are done

 

[Kirsty3051]

It's flying by! My ticker just makes me nervous haha.

I'm only at a 12lb gain so far. Hoping to get to 140-145 by the time I'm considered full term. Maybe a little unrealistic but it's what I'm going with

 

[Wishing1010]

Wow I'm already 140 lol! How tall are you ladies?
