Apparently its not uncommon to not be able to find a baby's heartbeat at 15 weeks - they couldn't find bubs heartbeat when I was 20 weeks with a doppler so had to get a scanner in so we could see it - and even then it was tricky because of bub's position. So try not to think the worst
Stoked - you already know how "stoked" I am for you
Tegam- how did you go? S&S sounds ouchy to me, but then I've never had any internals either and they scare me Hope it went well! Which MW are you talking about? Through the hospital? Or have you hired an IM now?
PZ- Yay! Sounds like a bunch of great news. I'm really glad to hear the myth of managed 3rd stage is wrong I declined the doppler during pregnancy (just used it in labour) so cant help you there sorry. I did find the wait between the 12 to 20 week ultrasounds hard at times0 after then you feel kicks so its easier to relax.
woo hoo! i am so so happy to see that this thread has just started moving leaps and bounds. when i came in here it was with HB discussion #1 and sadly had been for sometime...this is a fantastic reflection on a changing birth space!!! YAY!!!
Stoked: YAY!! your bubba is growing healthy and strong!!
PZ: so happy that your midwife was lovely! my IM was also called Sue! haha, maybe it's part of the trade
the heartbeat as the others have said can be tricky at times. bubba can be in a crazy possie, or the placenta might get in the way. 15 weeks is early and a bit hit and miss. by the time your next appt is here it will go easier xx
Marc: as i said in your BA; congratulations! what a beautiful name!
AFM: well, i had a bit of a strange night. i watched the preview that Kelly posted "the other side of the glass" about birth experiences and how they shape us etc. it did stir up alot of emotion in me about the treatment of myself and Leila during her birth journey. everytime i think i am healing from it, or have come to terms with it, there is always something new that i remember or a feeling that i remember and i feel sad/violated etc all over again. man, how i wish i could turn back the clock and give ourselves a much gentler birth
