Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[mommylov]

Hi Ladies! How is everyone doing?

Garfie, yay for seeing hb!!! My scan went well this morning too and we too got to see the baby's heart beatign away. I started balling when the dr turned the screen towards me and said "Look at your baby!". heart beat was 111 and Im measuring a few days behind (6w2 days instead of 6w5d) but she said that was normal.

Do you ladies remember what your lo's hb were at at about this time? Im glad that my dr said that 111 was normal for where Im at but Im still nervous.

Ah congrats mommy thats great news dont blame you fall balling i would do the same.

Great news garfie so happy for you.

hope everyone else ok x

Mommy - seeing the heartbeat was amazing for me wow you actually got to hear it (don't forget your baby's heart beat will probably have just come in) so don't be to caught up with numbers at the moment you saw and heard the galloping horses Did you get a pic?

Cheryl - I bet you would not swap back though

AFM - I'm hoping my elation was not short lived - I started spotting red today, just hoping I have maybe overdone it - I am an avon lady and have done two rounds today - normally do one in a day (I have three) but with scans etc I have crammed it in one day

Also my chemist has only just got the prog in that I ordered quite a while ago - luckily I had bought some cream of the internet but was running out and trying to make it last Anyway when I got home today I was able to use the one from the chemist I will use another before bed - gotta give my little munchkin the best start I possibly can. Another scan tomorrow at 9.30 but this is quite a long way so I will update probably in the afternoon - fingers crossed the spotting is just one of those things

Garfie, Oh no... we didnt get to hear it just see it. She measured it and told us what it was. Im thinking it wasnt strong enough for us to hear yet? Did you hear yours? Dont fret about the spotting yet (I know much easier said than done). I have heard of so many women having this happen to them and everything being fine. I wish we lived closer, Id run over some Crinone for you in the meantime!

Thanks SATH! How are you doing?

Garfie I spotted at 7 weeks with this pregnancy, try not to panic, at least you have the scan to reassure you tomo x

Mommy glad you saw the hb! No idea what my bubbas was at 7 weeks as she didnt measure it, just said it looked normal x

 

[twinkle_paws]

Great news Garfie! I'm sure the spotting is just one of those things, good luck tomorrow.

Mommy, glad all is going well with you too. We didn't get to hear heartbeat either , just saw it flickering away at 7 week scan.

SATH, I hope the witch is on her way out Good luck this month!!

Cupcake how are you doing? Can you believe we are nearly 26 weeks? We are going to have our babies in about 14 weeks!!! Have you been buying lots of baby stuff? We got lots just in the last couple of weeks. Pushchair and carry cot, crib and crib bedding and some neutral baby clothing. Loving the shopping

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey twink! Mad isn't it, it's all getting very close and if I'm honest I'm starting to get a bit scared about the whole birth thing as it looms closer! We ordered our travel system a few weeks back as it had a long lead time, ordered nursery furniture a couple of weeks back on an offer, bought a Moses on a bounty offer to! Have been buying lots of blue clothes and bits to, I love shopping for my little guy! X

 

[mommylov]

Thanks Ladies! I guess everything is up in the air in the begining so all you can do is wait but its so nice to hear that Im in the "norm"

Cupcake, I thought the same thing too! We are so focussed on ttc that once it happens and things progress you think "Oh wait, this thing has to come out eventually!". Im sure we all think its well worth it but still scary

 

[SATH]

Hey twinks cant believe how far you are now. Sounds like fun all the shopping. I have pram envy i literally nearly crashing sussing them out. What have you gone for.

Witch has left the building. Had accupuncture today she seems happy but who knows it will be worth all the money if we get end result.

Mommy and Garfie I'm pleased your scans went well I hope you both have very sticky beans in there.

AFM.....well I am finally a Mummy! Darcie Elizabeth arrived on Monday 3rd June at 17.21 weighing 7lb 9oz.

It wasn't quite the natural labour I planned, I ended up with an epidural and forceps but little Darcie is happy as anything, I wouldn't change it for the world, she is just perfect!!

Here's a link to a photo, I think it should work: <a href="https://s1277.photobucket.com/albums/y500/laubull/?action=view&current=E052D84D-8735-40DB-800C-AA2A590FAEF1-4768-000003C1BE9C3C54_zps3c37037f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y500/laubull/E052D84D-8735-40DB-800C-AA2A590FAEF1-4768-000003C1BE9C3C54_zps3c37037f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a>

Hey Garfie just wondering if you are ok and scan was good? Thinking about you hun xxx

Hi Ladies

Laubull - congrats on the safe arrival of Darcie look everyone is becoming a mummy one by one with the third is a charm babies

Can anyone tell me how I managed before in my other two pregnancies was it maybe because I was younger? - this one is wiping me out

With my first I worked right up until the night before he was born - 12 years ago and with my second I had my eldest as a toddler was a single mum by then and also worked part time.

With this pregnancy I have two boys at school all day - a part time avon job - and a house to look after and all I want to do is

Anyway back to the scan we both saw the heartbeat I was 6w 2d so everything is on track baby has also grown from 5.1mm to 6.1mm so everyone is happy I have another scan in two weeks, the spotting was due to a blood clot they found so she said so expect more spotting unless it disperses back into my body - funny though they never mentioned it I did I asked them to check

I was going to update yesterday but after arriving at the hospital half an hour late traffic I was told I was in the wrong hospital - the address I had for my scan was on the other site - if you remember I was meant to be undergoing tests shortly for recurrent m/c so the appointment card I had was for there - it wasn't so much that we were in the wrong hospital that pissed me off but the receptionist comment "These scan rooms are for normal pregnancies you want to be on the other site" everyone was looking at me as if I was a freak - I think my face said it all how dare she! anyway a kind nurse took us to the other site and good job she did I would never have found it

We got seen very quickly but there set up is different to what I've been used to - the bed is more a chair with stirrups at the end and my hubby was sat in a chair behind my head which made grabbing his hand very difficult

She warned us that it may take a few minutes as I was early blah blah the whole time she kept the screen away from us - there was another nurse and trainee nurse in the room and they all looked glum - I was worried as I couldn't see hubby or the screen I concentrated on their faces and one of them twitched slightly into a smile - well the relief she turned the screen round and their was our baby with a beating heart or strobe light as hubby thought it looked like why are ultrasounds never easy or is it just mine that seems to take for ever?

Anyway at least next time we will know which site to go to
