Ugh I am so mad at myself, I have a home doppler and I swore not to use it and to wait until the ultrasound... well today I feel COMPLETELY normal, even the bloat I've had the last few weeks is gone and my energy is great and no nausea... I figured, I'm 10 weeks tomorrow I might be able to hear the heartbeat, so I tried. I tried for a while. And I couldn't find it. And I am absolutely panicked. I wish I hadn't tried, what was I thinking?!? I know it's early, and for most women too early, but with my first baby they found it right away at this stage... god, I don't know how I'm going to wait until Wednesdays for this ultrasound. I don't know how I'm going to cope if I'm going to have another miscarriage. I am just so worried right now.

Yes the professionals can usually find it at 10 weeks, but usually not all the time and you are not someone who does it every day (I'm assuming anyway - sorry if you are a midwife or anything) so you will find it harder to find the heartbeat than a professional. Don't worry, stress won't do you any good. Wednesday will be here soon enough.

 

[Donna88]

Nausea is supposed to start dwindling around 9 weeks, so you feeling more normal isn't a bad sign. Your hormones start to balance out again a little around this time.

Aw I def would not worry about not finding it at this point.
When I was doing my midwifery training and working with midwife's who had been qualified for many years they said they did not like to attempt it before the 16 week point. As on many occasions they didn't find it and then had to send the woman to the hospital for a scan.
I would look forward to your scan this week. You should hopefully get a great visual of the hb then.
I went for a scan today and saw little one moving about and saw arms legs fingers and everything it was amazing. Saw hb and all looked great. I tried to upload a pic but i couldn't do it for some reason.

Aw kholl thread hopping here just to say I have a home doppler too and I didn't find mine until 15 weeks xx baby is very very low down still and your pubic bone can muffle the sound significantly

I found I had to press very hard and low to find mine

Dont worry over it too much. I know the pain of mc and that's why I got one to ease my mind ( which is does until she's somewhere awkward and I can't find it.... Really they're not the best thing tbh)

Big hugs

Ladies thanks so much. Yes Wednesday will be here soon and at least I’ll know. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, I am feeling better now.

 

[Mystery26]

Sooo very tired today lol being pregnant with a baby is a lot harder than when I was just pregnant on my own lmao

 

[Summergurl]

Kholl how are you feeling this morning?

Only 2 more sleeps until your ultrasound, really not long at all. Big hugs xx

 

[Donna88]

Glad your feeling better Kholl.


Ahh I know about the tiredness, I even said to my husband the other day I don't know how people do it when they have babies or toddlers. I don't remember being this tired last time

 

[Kholl]

The fatigue hits me like 2 hours before I have to do the kids’ bedtime so it’s definitely brutal!

My anxiety today is through the roof. I am terrified of the scan on Wednesday. I guess I didn’t realize my miscarriage was still affecting me this much.

My fatigue has turned into nausea for me!! Yuck. It's awful. Have a gaggy feeling almost all day.

Your scan is Wednesday, right? Try to just keep your mind busy in the meantime. Think positive thoughts. I know I'll be anxious too when my scan gets closer. It's easy to think the worst, isn't it? Watch a movie, scroll through Pinterest and get baby ideas, relax and listen to music. Those things help me when I'm feeling anxious Good luck! Not that you need it, I know everything is going to be fine!

 

[Kholl]

Thanks, AC Yes it’s on Wednesday. 49 hours from right now, not that I’m counting...

Hope everyone else is well!

 

[Lynsey252831]

Can't catch a break today. Sickness is just awful. I've brought up everything I have tried to eat and all I can do is lie in bed. I thought I was going to get better but nope it's getting worse �� really starting to feel quite down but trying so hard to keep being positive and think this will pass soon!
Kholl your almost there! It will be worth the wait �� xx

 

[Kholl]

Oh Lynsey I’m so sorry, that is brutal. You’re a day behind me right? When did you feel better in previous pregnancies? Hugs!

NEw to the forum !!

Add me up for 26th of February !!! So excited !!!

 

[Kholl]

Hi Anna! Welcome to the forum and to February mamas!

Oh man ladies I am a piece of work. This is gonna be the longest 2 days of my life!!! Honestly I’d go in earlier if DH could join me and if we had childcare. Kids aren’t allowed at the ultrasound and I don’t want them there anyway, in case something is wrong. But man 2 days feels impossible right now!

 

[Lynsey252831]

Hey I uploaded both my scan pics I had to do a screenshot to make it work. It is amazing the difference a few weeks made. Right pic I was 6+4 and left 9+5

Yesterday was horrible for me. Hoping today is better.

Congrats!! I'll get u added in now!

How is everyone? Xx

 

[Donna88]

Wow what a difference Lynsey - its amazing isnt it. I don't think we'll have another scan until 13/14 weeks so there will be a massive difference. Will look like a proper baby.

 

[Kholl]

Aw Lynsey that is so cool!!! Look at that sweet baby!

 

[Anna@work]

Aww lynsey that's so amazing !!! When they tell you how quickly they grow in there it seems impossible but here's the proof !

i have my first MW appointment on Friday... First Baby... have NO IDEA what to expect. It's at a local GP Surgery by the look of things...
Do MW offer a scan on first antenatal appointement or not if normally fit and healthy?
