Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[mannymoo]

Yeah! Go Cheryl. We have everything crossed for you. Hope its quick and painless (if such a labour exists). Lou has also been very quiet for a few days so hoping there is progress there too. Sooo exciting!!!

Bagpuss I second cupcake. I used my doppler from 9 1/2 weeks and it was a life-saver. Definitely recommend it.

Ooh do you think some babies are being born hope for some news soon.

Just got new cat flap i was too excited couldnt wait for oh to get home so old one out new one in trying to persuade fur babies its a great new toy! Its a microchip one so no more roaming cats eating their food and peeing in the house.

Got a dilema i always go away with my mum and brother before christmas. They've started asking if we can book it what do i do. If i got pregnant this cycle i would be too far to go even next month would b pushing it but if we dont get booked soon the prices will rocket. On the one hand i refuse to put my life on hold but its all the what ifs - so any advice welcome. We're looking at Canada.

Sorry for the rambling x

I'm not sure whether to get a Doppler or not. In my first preg midwife told me not to as they have to deal with so many women freaking out cos they can't find hb and nothing is wrong!

Bag puss I would def def get doppler, I got a hi Bebe one on eBay and have had 100 percent success rate with it! Actually don't know how I survived without it! I don't use it now far on as feel baby but before that was very comforting to hear bubs. Xx

Cheryl/Lou I can just FEEL something is happening so can't wait to hear big BAs!!!

Bagpuss, I got a sonolone b 3mz and have never not found the hb, I have found it has saved my sanity tbh! I only got it after my 12 week scan (hubby wouldn't let me v4 cos of our history). I told my midwife I had one and she was totally supportive of it because of my mcs. Even though I feel my baby kick and move now, it still has days where it's quiet so ill use it then - I know baby is fine evwn when i dont feel it, but the Doppler just convinces me.

Cherylat least has to be in labour, she's still not been on the other thread! So exciting!!

I'm only 10+3 though so would it work?

 

[cupcake1981]

I'm not sure I got mine at 13 weeks and found it straight away, have a look on eBay I think it says you can use from 10 weeks?

 

[thethomsons]

Prob bit early yet but def keep trying, I'm sure I heard from about 11.5 weeks if I searched very very low, let us know if you have any joy!!

 

[mannymoo]

I heard mine with an angel sounds from 9 1/2 weeks but I have a posterior placenta so baby has always been sitting in the front. I think this makes a big difference. I first used mine straight after an u/s so I knew baby was fine and heart was beating. I didn't want to panic the first time. Only once did I struggle to find hb. I found it very easy first thing in the morning.

Sath re your holiday, I say tried hold out a little bit longer on booking if you can. We had a couple that we ended up canceling. Fortunately my doctor provided a note so we got a full refund.

Lou and cheryl hope you both well. We're desperate for an update!

 

[cupcake1981]

Bagpuss like Manny I also waited until after a scan so iknew baby was ok and I didn't panic. I ordered it on amazon the day if the scan paid for overnight shipping and had it the next day! Hold out if you can.

 

[bagpuss19]

Yes I thought that. That's the thing i feel I need something to keep me going till scan at 13 weeks which is 3 weeks next tues. I'm on a training course next week so can't fit in a scan then might try for one when get back!

Ladies, he's here!!!

Will post more fully later - just got home from the hospital this afternoon.

Matthew William was born at 11.50pm on 17/4/13- I had to be induced due to his heart rate intermittently dropping very low- and was in labour for 31 hrs, eventually had to have a ventouse assisted delivery. He had a sore wee head for a while but is doing really well now. He weighs 8lbs 8oz and is 56cm long!

More (and pics!) later!!

Love to you all xxx
