Thanks girls

Sorry I have been MIA, just been really sick and when I'm not at work I am at home laying on the lounge watching The Walking Dead for the 2nd time (waiting for the 3rd season to be released in Australia)

DH and I had a scan yesterday 8+2 and bub is doing well, nice heartrate of 174bpm. Will try and upload the u/s pics when I get home this afternoon

 

[vaniilla]

looking forward to seeing the pics

Hooray for a lovely scan and heartbeat!!

I adore the Walking Dead. DH bought the comic book series.

 

[Miss Redknob]

DH also read the comics and said it was different to the TV series lol

 

[trgirl308]

Yay for bubs doing well!

 

[pixie23]

Glad things are going well!

 

[hakunamatata]

Interesting. I started reading the first book but haven't gotten into it. Not a big fan of comics, but DH is

 

[Miss Redknob]

Me either HM

My DH just msged me and told me that he bought me a doppler (Sonoline B), what a good egg he is

 

[babynewbie]

He is a brilliant egg! Can't wait til you can use it and hear bubs heartbeat I used to use mine almost everyday, its addictive!

 

[Miss Redknob]

When did you start to hear yours?

 

[hakunamatata]

Aw very nice! Enjoy your new present!

I had the same one, it works pretty well. I just found there is a lot of background noise sometimes, but when you find the hb it is clear enough.

Just be careful of a couple of things. First it is easy to pick up your own heartbeat, you can youtube some videos that will explain the difference between the sounds you will hear so you are sure it is baby you are hearing. Also you can pick something up around 9-10 weeks, but at that stage if the baby turns around you won't hear it, so don't get too scared, most of the time it doesn't mean anything if you don't hear it. It will get more consistent after about 13 weeks.

I bought mine at 11 weeks and found hb first time, was tricky though, took about half an hour to find!

 

[Miss Redknob]

Thanks for the heads up ladies

 

[bartlettpear]

He is a good egg! I am totally jealous of your doppler, how awesome to have!

 

[Miss Redknob]

It should be here on Tuesday

Had a bad night last night at about 4pm I was starting to feel really sick and then I couldn't stop throwing up till about 10pm when I went to bed. I kept trying to eat something or drink something different but nothing seemed to work

I hope you manage to get something down you and that you feel better soon
