there is a lot of negative press about dopplers which it totally understandable. I do have one though and plan to use it with DD so she can listento baby and be involved

eek for my 12 week scan at 930 tomorrow! I'm so nervous. so excited though. one of my very best friends lives in Wales and I've just written her Xmas card and signed it "lots of love from *, *, * and bump". I can't believe I've managed to keep it a secret from her, I've made her a Christmas hamper so all being well tomorrow I'll pop to the post office tomorrow after the hospital and post it off. I wanted to keep it secret until she visits in two weeks but I don't trust my other friends not to accidenntly blab when I tell them tomorrow

That's a lovely idea Shepherdess, she'll love it and what a nice surprise for her!!!

GG I think that's really nice that they did that for you with the rmc scan. Where I used to work, they did all the scans in the same place and I hated being a part of it!!! - the dating scans, the early pregnancy scans, the termination scans, the fertility scans. They all had to sit in the same room! Also on the wards you would have people who have gone for a lap and dye (fertility op), people who had a D&C (miscarriage op) and terminations all in the same room on the ward.

I think it's just so insensitive to have all those very different situations in the same room!

Awh gg, I do think they are so much more sensitive at the rmc clinics, mine were lovely to. Glad everything went well for you. So pleased

Midwife just rang, appointment Wednesday at half 9. She was like I was told you wanna speak to me? I was like... Yeah,,, I need to make a booking appointment and she was like OMG you're pregnant again?! I was like yeah I'm 11 weeks she went mad like aahhhh. And asked about dd and stuff.

 

[JemRose]

PB that makes so much sense why they've been so blasé about it all!! They just didn't realise. Glad the ball is rolling for you xx

Shepherdess Good luck for tomorrow can't wait to see your pic. That's such a lovely Xmas idea too! Xx

PB finally! lol hopefully they rush your scan date xx

Personally I don't mind a Doppler. It's all about whether you know you're listening to the right thing, when to use, how to use, when not to use. I hired out one last time until baby start moving around. Like I said before I was told they are safe. It's just whether we don't use it right and think everything okay when it's not, or panic thinking something's wrong when it's not.

As for the nursery teacher I don't think she realised what she'd done until she seen my face lol. I'm sure it was an honest mistake but my god. She's not one of DDs so I only know her to see. She obviously doesn't know girl code though lol

Shan, you are a better person than me. I'm afraid my response would have been, "and I trust you haven't shared that with anyone else as it's nobody's business but mine and if it had been bad news, you'd be making it ten times worse for me".

I have zero tolerance for crap like that though...sometimes, a short sharp reminder to keep your trap shut will make that person forever remember to think before they speak. It's an unwritten rule that if you see someone at the doctor or hospital, you never ask or assume what they're there for.

It was so good at the scan yesterday that they did the end scan in a different ultrasound department because it was an rmc scan. I thought that was wonderfully sensitive as last time, I had a scan to confirm a loss and had to sit in a waiting room with a load of pregnant women.
There were clearly other women there yesterday who were not in a good place so Dan and I just sat quietly before and after the scan, hiding out excitement until we knew it wouldn't make things harder for someone else.
All it takes to be kind is to have a little thought for others.

Haha I replied before I saw your post.

To be honest I'm in a pretty good mood today after the scan. And I was about to do Ivy's assessment so I thought fuck it, let it go. I actually went I don't think so and that's when she said the part about seeing me in the maternity bit. Obviously didn't take the hint though. But yeah it's a good job scan went well.

That's awful having to sit in the same place if you're having a mc. Who thinks these things through? I know the NHS is struggling but honestly how insensitive. Our mc scans are done in off the emergency department so nowhere near any maternity services. Xx

 

[Shanivy]

Lovely to see all the scan pics
I was also thinking of getting a Doppler but worried that I will worry if can't find a heartbeat, still tempted to get one though.

Still feeling paranoid as I just don't feel 'pregnant', got a scan next week when I'll be roughly 11weeks. I am getting some crazy dreams though

What date is your scan? Xx

 

[JemRose]

Anyone know of a job where you get paid but don't have to work hahaha, I'm so done with this place!

[JemRose]

No difference to the usual problems. But I just want to be in bed asleep all day instead lol - maybe I can be a bed tester

 

[Shanivy]

Should you find a job like that please sign me up!!! I can't be bothered doing anything and I like my job xx

 

[KHTW]

I took half a day off work to finish xmas shopping. Done that, had a burger, run some errands and currently finishing a hot chocolate before I return home to take over my 2 year old... xx

 

[JemRose]

I want a burger haha you've set me off KHTW .. stomach is grumbling now

 

[PeanutButter]

Lol. I feel lucky to be a stay at home mom. But trust me it gets so boring. When these are in nursery looking for a job straight away, i don't even care if I end up back at McDonald's! I was looking for an evening job not long after dd was born, but hubby said we'd never send time together, so I didn't bother, and when I thought about leaving dd I was like nope, she's never been away from me. Apparently I'm crazy. Meh.

Got cramping again but feels like good cramping. Not felt any more movement again yet.

Ha, we're having mint lamb burgers, with fries and salad tonight! Obviously we're all subconsciously getting cravings for burgers xD
