Heartbeat Doppler

I purchased one from Amazon and honestly it made my day hearing out little boys heartbeat at home! We are 16w6 and I played about with it for a while, YouTubed a few videos on the different sounds I could hear. Anterior placenta mum so I was surprised I managed to fine his beat within a few minutes.

As a midwife myself, please just be careful listening in yourself and with uncalibrated devices.
I went through years of training to detect and understand a normal and abnormal heartbeat and what to do if abnormality was heard.

The 8 week peak 😭🤯

I thought we peaked at 6 weeks but leading up to 8 weeks my baby is putting me through it omggg! The crying, the fussing, the fighting sleep, the extra clingy-ness, it went up x10 this week. Every day this week I’ve had to order food because I couldn’t even get 5 minutes to prepare something. Then I’m eating with him literally on my chest. And this is whilst in the trenches of maternity pay may I add. Thankfully my mom is having him tonight so I can have break but then I feel like I’m still not going to get any sleep because I’ll miss him šŸ˜…

Anyway my logic is since it has gotten worse it can only get better! How is everyone else’s 6-8 week stage going?

Frequently going to the toilet šŸ’©

TMI šŸ™ˆ I’m 38 weeks and for the past week or so I’ve been constantly going to the toilet to šŸ’© I’ve seen and heard a lot of people say that it’s your body’s way of telling you that it’s preparing for labour due to hormones etc but I don’t know how much more I can take!! šŸ™ˆšŸ¤£ My belly is constantly in pain. I’ll go to the toilet then half an hour later I’ll be running back to the loo. Did anyone else experience this towards the end of their final trimester?? I haven’t lost my mucas plug or anything like that, just have a constant pressure on my 🐱 which has caused swelling, been leaking more colostrum than normal and struggling to sleep. If anyone has experienced this, how long did it take you to go into labour? Praying I don’t go over my due date 🤣

Rushing into a D&C?

I feel like doctors are rushing my sister into a D&C. She had her first appointment and ultrasound on Wednesday. She thought she was 7 weeks 2 days, but she was measuring 6 weeks 3 days. There was no heartbeat. They scheduled another scan to confirm only two days later on Friday (also seems way too soon to me!). There still wasn’t a heartbeat, so they’ve scheduled a D&C on Monday…I just really feel like they didn’t give it enough time. If she ovulated later than expected, measuring a week behind isn’t a big deal. And I also feel like it’s not super uncommon for a heartbeat to not be detectable that early. Please comment any personal experiences or advice. I haven’t said any of this to her yet because I don’t want to be insensitive. She really wanted this baby and is having a hard time with all this.
