I'm really confused?! The placenta makes a noise? I feel really stupid! I thought it was a beating sound definitely but not faster enough for baby and sounds more like a pump as such- is this the sound of the placenta? X

 

[betty14]

Louja don't feel stupid!

Yes the placenta makes a noise, it's got it's own 'heartbeat' because it pumps blood to the baby, kinda like a filter if you like!

Diddums try going right on your bikini line realllllllllly low down!!

[betty14]

Sorry meant to say test the noise you describe sounds like its the placenta

X x x

 

[Samie18]

from what I can hear that sounds like your heart beat but its a bit fuzzy. the placenta will be as quick as the babys heart beat but be wooshy where as the fetal heart beat will thud. its is usually about 140-160bpm and if you will hear it it will be well below your pubic bone at this stage quite central

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Samie. Yes it's very fuzzy. Hoping it will be clearer in a week. Will try again after the holiday

 

[Samie18]

keep tryin as the weeks go and when you get it you'll know it's baby but im pretty certain that's yours because it sounds around 80/90bpm and the cross over of sounds its probably different vessels your hitting. your uterus is a small muscle that sits very low in your pelvis so wouldnt be near your hip. at 20 weeks it will be at your belly button so you can imagine its low right now

 

[Diddums]

Ah thanks Samie. So it should be more central along my pubic line?

 

[betty14]

I remember when I got to 20 weeks and beyond I could always find Daisy's hb to the right of my belly button

[Samie18]

Yup right around pubic line sometimes if you squash your tummy down so there is some resistance it's easier to find

[Diddums]

Thanks Samie. I think you're right. I'm picking up my own blood vessels. I can hear the wind through trees noise about an inch to the right of my midline right along pubic line. Is that likely to be placenta? It sounds like wind howling through trees. Thanks for the help.

Can't wait for my scan in 2.5 days!!!

Hi ladies!
It must be really hard when your friends aren't there for you. I don't really see the girls who were my best friends when we were at school anymore, I had to distance myself from them as they all stayed friends with my ex-fiancé after we broke up and I knew I'd never be able to get over him if I had to see him every time I went out with my friends. I was lucky to make new friends at work and through going to concerts who have been wonderfully supportive. I think pregnancy and having a baby show you who your true friends are.
Not so much with friends but some colleagues really annoyed me when I was pregnant with their 'advice' about birth and babies. I got the horror stories about birth told to me but it really wasn't that bad for me, despite the blood loss - the dvt was massively more painful and nobody warned me about that! I was also told that I wouldn't have five minutes to have a shower when baby arrived and that I wouldn't know what day of the week it was - but that didn't happen either. It is strange how the moment you're pregnant people suddenly feel compelled to comment on your life! The best advice I had was from you ladies on here and my own mum. It's a shame we don't all live closer.
Xx

 

[Diddums]

Awww Pink luckily out of my work colleagues only one has had a baby and she hasn't scared me with stories. She's just answered my questions honestly when I ask her!

My home friends are no where near having a baby so will be interesting to see how they react to the news. I'm also worried we will be sidelined a bit and won't be invited to the pub or out for dinner any more. But I guess time will tell!

 

[Samie18]

Possibly. Its hard to describe apart from it being a quick repetitive woosh woosh woosh woosh woosh as appose to thud thud thud thud thud thud.....sometimes added in with a kick or hiccups as they get bigger.

Childbirth and babies are different for everybody and every baby is different so no advice matches the next person. Do as you feel correct and you'll deal with things your way =o)

My bestfriend was only interested in me when she wanted something or somewhere to stay. She got the all clear from a genetic condition then buggered off to Jersey got herself pregnant within a few weeks and didnt tell me until the baby was due. i told her i dont understand how you can expect me not to be pissed off, so we made up and muggins here flew out to see her, then she was worried i'd spill the beans about her past (thats another story) then went back to ignoring me. I finally decided i was sick of being used and cut all strings with her. She knows nothing about me now nor Sophia nor my wedding. its really sad because i havent made any friends since moving to Norfolk and it will sound really snobby of me but the friends i have back in stockport all seem really immature and i can't relate to them. I'd love a close friend who i could go round to moan at and drink wine.....maybe when Sophia is at school i'll make some friends....but unlikely. I'm just lucky i get on with Chris so well =o)

 

[Diddums]

Aww Samie. You don't sound snobby at all! My friends from uni ate all grown up and have kids of heir own so I can relate to them. The friends I have here at home as very immature. And are a long way away from a stable relationship, let alone marriage and kids! Guess we'll have even less in common with them once bubs is here. I know some will still remain and get involved in the baby's life, but I'm sure some wont. And that's there loss!

I also find it hard to make friends so know exactly how you feel! Have you been to any mother and baby groups?

 

[Samie18]

Yeah been to the groups and there is about 6 of us that occasionally arrange to meet up but they have their own click and coz I work so much I rarely get to go. It's very normal for Norfolk in this part of the world so northeners are like the plague lol

 

[LoujaOs83]

Awww girls! I know exactly how you feel- such a shame we don't all live close so we can all meet up together for a chin wag and coffee, wine eventually for me!!
My friends are in relationships, some are married... None are close to having babies though! One has a baby but she isn't really a close friend, but she has text a bit and says we should meet up so that's nice I guess'!
I have a great relationship with my OH, we are inseparable really... But I love being with him all the time, where as my friends aren't like that and like to go on big nights out until 4-5 am and I've passed all of that... I'm 30 now and just feel I'd much rather spend money on nice meals out with my OH and friends not on getting wrecked (obviously wouldn't being pregnant anyway!). I guess marriage, babies and growing up and moving away from friends for me makes such changes! I live 35 mins away from where I grew up and no one else has moved away so it's like they expect me to move back- I don't want to, I love having my own life and making a new life for me and my OH!
Ahhh well that's my moan, I hope I meet new friends in antenatal classes and baby groups!
Am I supposed to arrange antenatal classes myself? Or does my midwife explain all this to me? I haven't heard anything about them, not sure when I'm supposed to start going?

Hugs xx

 

[Diddums]

Lou I believe your midwife will give you all the information. Probably in the next few weeks seeing as your getting close to the 20week scan!! Can't remember, are you staying team yellow or finding out? Xxx

 

[LoujaOs83]

Thanks Diddums! 20 week scan is a week today - wahey! Not sure whether are staying team yellow or finding out... But if we do my OH wants us to keep it to ourselves- though I can tell you ladies if you'd like to know if we find out?! The decision is yours
Diddums, Sinn and Sara are you finding out? Do we have any other pregnant ladies? Xx

 

[sara15h1986]

I hope to meet new friends. Desperately!!!!
I will be finding out on the 15th May when I am 21 weeks. I can not wait xxxx

 

[betty14]

As its all very exciting I couldn't have stayed team yellow we wanted to know so we could plan with colours!

Louja I would love to know if you find out
