Scan dates

hiya ladies...forgot to update this after our 12 week scan....my new EDD is 15th April and 20 week scan is booked for 22nd November

Thanks Sue xx

hiya hun.....I posted a few days ago about my early scan and hearing the heartbeat.

I heard it first with Chloe at 10 weeks and with this little beanie at what I now know from the scan to be 8+4.

However......it did take lots of time to hear it and even so I don't hear it for long periods....perhaps 10 seconds or so and then beanie moves. And on some attempts I don't hear it. I wouldn't advise everyone tries searching for it so early....but given the losses I have experienced I get great comfort from listening. Even though I do panic if I can't find it. If you've not listened before it can take quite a bit to get used to all the different sounds that you hear down there, i.e placenta, gas etc. and you may miss it, however if you have used a doppler frequently before you will know what is you and what is baby.

Please just remember that midwives won't even attempt to listen for you until the 16 week mark because not finding it can cause worry. Please also remember that if you have an anterior placenta you won't hear bubba for a long time yet.

I am using a Hi-Bebe doppler with tons of gel, a very full bladder, a cushion under my bum when I lie down and plenty of time to have a good search around starting right down by your pubic bone. This beanie seems higher up than Chloe was at this stage but this could be due to my uterus and muscles not having fully returned to normal as its not been long since I gave birth.

Please don't worry if you can't hear anything yet...its common for many ladies to not hear anything until well into their 2nd trimester

Take care
Sue xx

Scan update and hearing beanie on doppler :-)

Hiya ladies...we had our reassurance scan on Tuesday and beanie is doing well. I was nervous as hell. but was pretty sure I'd heard beanies little train of a heartbeat the night before so had been eased by that. Scan dated me as 8+5, I thought I was about 8+6 so spot on.

I'm still nervous everyday for each twinge/ niggly pain but so glad I can listen on my doppler when I'm worried. Had another listen last night and cheeky beanie was hiding at first but then found the oh so relieving sound

12 week and nuchal booked for 10th Oct, when I'll be closer to 13. Roll on the 2nd trimester.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Hiya ladies....I'm due 18th April I think but might get changed at my early scan (15 days and counting!!)

Thanks xx
Take care

Chartstalkers Part 4 - BFP spotting continues......

Posted: 27/08/2011 at 17:33

Take care hun xx

Chartstalkers Part 4 - BFP spotting continues......

Posted: 22/08/2011 at 10:05

hiya ladies.....kirsty I keep checking back to see if your BFP has been announced yet! i was just looking at your chart....have you considered that after your +opk that you didn't infact go onto ovaulate and instead ovulated later? A +opk isn't 100% sure fire way of confirming ovulation. when does ff detect ovulation if you go back and remove the opk results? this might explain why your bfp isn't showing up yet and it will show up in a few days time......fingers crossed hun xx

Symptoms

Posted: 15/08/2011 at 06:32

Fozzie....when I was pregnant with Chloe I didn't even find out I was pregnant until 9 weeks (due to mistaking implantation bleed as light AF) and had no noticeable symptoms enough for me to consider I was pregnant.

I know its hard not to worry though xx
