Cheezel - I wouldn't get a doppler if you are a bit of a stress head. My OB had trouble finding the heartbeat a few days ago and he is a professional. Could you imagine how you would feel if you couldn't find it?

cheezel - my midwife said that dopplers make you more stressed than calm!
Yeah I agree with India's Mum actually - and alish! This way, if you do have a freakout, you need to speak with your Ob or a midwife - they can check bubby and you're more likely to de-stress. Hopefully it wont be long before you can relax and enjoy bubby - I'm counting down the days to feeling movement now...
cheezl~ with my last pregnancy i had a doppler but there was two sides yes it does help when you find the hb but i remmber when i could not feel her move yet and trying to find her hb becouse they have so much space to move and hid.I would lay on the floor trying to find her and crying thinking the worse then i would find her.So with this pregnancy i dont know if i am going to use it or not
CheezelMonster - the same thing happened to me at 8wks, MS stopped, i freaked and i bolted to my obs rooms! Bub of course was perfectly fine and MS kicked back in a few days later! I did hire a doppler and I had a really positive experience with it! We were able to locate the heartbeat from 10wk exactly and never had any problems... on the odd occasion it would take about 10mins to find but we always found it! We found bub was in the same spot 99% of the time so we always knew where to find it! I am an extreme stresshead and I found it sooooo reassuring! Best thing we did! I used it til I was about 23wks or so.... in the early wks i used it almost daily but as my confidence grew, i became less dependant on it and just learnt to trust my body. Hope this helps xx
Hi everyone else! So sorry no more persies today! Im so far behind again!! Im on maternity leave now which is so awesome! I love it but ive been so busy! I promised myself i would rest and put my feet up but i cant stop cleaning out cupboards and re-packingh my hosp bag! lol! I had my baby shower last Sunday and it was so wonderful! I was spoilt rotten! Overwhelmed with the gifts i received! I got a baby bath, digital steriliser, electric bottle warmer, bottles, clothes, jolly jumper, moses basket, hooded towels, blankets, digital thermometre.... etc etc! It was unbelievable! I haven felt so spoilt since my wedding day! DH was shocked when he got home to see all the beautiful gifts! The days was great, lots a corny games and yummy food surrounded by 40 of my closest friends and family! What a day!!! :D
We saw my ob on Monday and my kidney scan last week showed that it had deteriorated again so now he wants to induce/caesar at 37 wks! Thats like 2.5wks away! OMG!!! I have so much to do! Agh! Im having another scan monday and see my urologist again then i guess we will be given the special BIRTH date!! Wow this is getting exciting! And going waaay to fast!
Anyway i gotta fly, off to get our car seats fitted this morning! YAyayaya!
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I certainly am turning into a bit of a stresshead :lol: I said the same thing to my DH, this could potentially freak me out even more. I'll see how I feel after my next scan which is only in a few weeks.
Even though the m/s was so horrid it was really comforting to me! I felt a little off this morning though so maybe I did speak too soon!
Cheezel - how far along are you? I had a good week with MS somewhere around week 9 or week 10 and then it came back again and here I am now 18 weeks still throwing up most days (but not feeling as sick in general)
I'll be 9 weeks on Monday, so could just be a good week :D
thopes - nice to hear you got spoilt rotten
cheezel - everything will be fine :)

Hi Ladies,
I'd like to join your thread (again) and I hope this time I will stay longer than the last time (1 day). I am 8 weeks today, and so far so good, had 3 scans already, last at 7w3d and the bub had a hb of 152/min, which I think is very good for that age. I have a cvs scheduled in about 3 weeks, and if it comes back OK I think I will be able to relax a bit. On one hand, I had some good symptoms this time, but after so many failed pregnancies, and being 43, I cannot just take it easy.
Welcome Luna I am handing over all the sticky and bake well vibes I no longer need! Is there the parenting after loss thread? I can't believe the boys came before Monday!

Hi ladies, Hope you're all well. Sorry, I haven't got much time for a lot of persies today.
Kellbell I had to give DD formula top ups (from a cup, MW said bottles lead to nipple confusion or babies preferring the bottle). It was hard work, and it felt like the end of the world, or the end of breastfeeding anyway. I was really upset, and scared that DD wasn't putting on enough weight. But it wasn't the end of the world. The top ups were expressed BM and formula, so the expressing helped keep my supply up. And at some point, I decided to be brave and just take away the formula top ups and then the BM top ups too. She BF until she was 14 months and later flat out refused formula if I tried to mix things up a bit. I guess what I am trying to say, is that if you do feel you need to top up Jayden, it's not the end of the world. And it doesn't mean the end of BF. It doesn't mean that you're any less of a mum. x
AFM There was a :heartbeat: !!! Only 7 weeks though, so still quite a while till I can allow myself to be properly excited. But it was the best birthday present I could ask for. DD tried her best though, with a wee on my quilt first thing in the morning and a poo in the bath at the end of the day :rolleyes: Good thing she's cute.
Welcome Luna! 8 weeks, wow, I bet it was fantastic to see that little HB!!
Congratulations MrsS, such lucky boys :)
