4ever I have the box, instructions and gel etc. I don't want anything for it, just want you to benefit from it like I did. When you've finished with it you could pass it onto mermaid or someone

blue yes please pass on my mobile, thanks.

Ooh this is exciting

4everhopeful · 11/12/2009 13:51

Dh just home from work (yay!) Told him about the doppler & cos consultant was against the idea for fear of causing more anxiety, (?!? ) Dh initially not enthusiastic but read your post to him Vjay & he seems more into the idea now.. My consultant is a very cautious by the book non endorsing kind of guy, good as he is.. We see him on thurs, will mention again.. I kno after my stress yest, id love to have it today, thats what brought Dh round, bless him he just doesnt want me worrying but knows this would hopefuly ease anxiety not cause more....

bluesatinsash · 11/12/2009 13:39

As long as its only one bauble per hour with a lie down between each one .

You know if its ok with you Vjay i might take you up on that offer please? Does it have instructions? I dont have ur pho no, my email is work, can someone pass mine on please? How much do you want for it hon? Im nervous & excited all in one! Iv been wanting to ask you how you found it as i vividly remember the postie delivering it to you what feels like yonks back!
.......Blue i shall heed your instructions but does doing our christmas tree count? !

VJay · 11/12/2009 13:08

4ever I used the doppler everytime I was worried about not feeling Ajay kick. I found the heartbeat everytime and found it very reassuring . I would say I used it a lot to begin with but as the pg progressed and Ajay kicked more and more I used it less. You are very welcome to have it if you want it, it was the best thing I bought because it kept me very reassured

bluesatinsash · 11/12/2009 12:53

x-post 4ever - hope you are doing NOTHING today Miss 15 weeks xx

bluesatinsash · 11/12/2009 12:51

babyneekobigkicks, see they can come up trumps when a little reassurance is required for their Mummy's . My lo doesn't start kicking until late morning which worries me every day until I get the first kick but at the same time leaves me hopeful they will be good sleeper

Mermaid - looks like i'll be rubbing your cankles on Monday as your hands are all taken . Going off everything smell wise is such a good sign especially if its bacon butties as they are surely the best smell in the world . I used to love sniffing my facial wash, very pine tree and 'fresh'.

Hi Sabs - wow 11lb 11oz - go Saara .

Ooh early scans good mermaid, less time for pre scan weebling, i will be squeezin ur hand tight, like vjay says just knowing u are all sending positive vibes genuinely helps me feel better & im sure it works for baby too! Very reassuring to hear ur aversion to smells & general yuckiness!.....Vjay talkin of crossing bits ill be doin so for those results hon, sure youll pass with flyin colours cos u certainly worked hard enough Im tempted to say yes to the doppler, was it easy to use & how often did u? Cons reckoned can cause more worry if u cant work it!? ...... Neeko so pleased lo has been showing off football skills to reassure mummy less than a week of work left for you! ..... Also hope Sabs & family recover from ur colds, so sweet of you to offer the hat from hoping sure a big panter will snap it up! .... Igs hand squeeze if ur still weebling from queen weebler! Book that extra scan! ..... Hugs to
cupcake ..... Barbie must be wierd doin ur tree in the heat! We are buying & decorating ours today, very excited! ...... Got in a state yest tryin to do too much, i went to next, whsmiths, m&s, & sainsburys to meet dh, then dash to bf ds birthday, then pop to mums to say bye to sis as shes back to worcs til boxing day, got fish & chips on way home, was yuk, dh & i sat down about 9pm, i was done in & stressed had done too much as used to my bedrest & could feel pains & twinges, might of been trapped wind & feel ok now but as per usual, roll on mondays scan!

Neeko · 11/12/2009 11:53

Worrying's normal and at least it passes the time. Plan something nice (and non-smell related)to do this weekend

mermaidspurse · 11/12/2009 11:41

neeko your bean must have needed a little rest after all that leap frogging. Just shows that we won't stop worrying though doesn't it.

vjay scan is at 9.30 so out the way nice and early.

Thanks for all the hand holding had been sort of mellow but today I am a quiver with worry.

Neeko · 11/12/2009 11:00

Mermaid I'll do the back rubs

Just popping on to say that BabyNeeko has been kicking like a champion since before I opened my eyes this morning! Something to score off the worry list and the to-do list!

mermaidspurse · 11/12/2009 10:41

i nearly had to run at the thought of magic trees then!
thanks sabs for the hand, I remember holding your hand last year when you were spotting and it was snowing and thinking of saara gives me lots of positive vibes.

VJay · 11/12/2009 10:40

mermaid here's another hand to hold. What time is your scan on Monday, cos we can all think positive thoughts for you at that time like we do for 4ever

Sabs1981 · 11/12/2009 10:26

mermaid I'll start holding your hand from now if you like

I was a very strange one in this pregnancy, as I loved the smell of cars, air fresheners, even bathroom cleaning sprays but the fact that some smells are getting to you already is a good sign....

mermaidspurse · 11/12/2009 10:21

x- factor ? what is this strange thing?

had to come home from dhs work as the smells of cars and associated stuff chiefly bacon sarnies and gearbox oil made me we need a sick face mnhq.

so came home and home smells make metoo

ugggghhhhh

vjay I am sure one of the larger pants than me would love your doppler and I will fight over it with iggy in a few more months. what with the graphs? I am imressed and fingers crossed for your exam results.

sabs hope you are feeling better there are some nasty colds doing the rounds but it will all help to build up saaras immune system, big kiss to that big girlx.

barbie glad you are getting all christmassy, hope you are feeling ok and not rushing around too much.

4ever morning nearly 15weeker amazing!

cupcake how did the mw appointment go or am I confused.

neeko so glad you are feeling a wee bit better sometimes you just gotta howl!

its friday and I have a scan in 3 sleeps time and that is very scary.

Sabs1981 · 11/12/2009 09:56

Hello ladies, hope everyone is well.

A very quick post from me. I really hope that if hoping is lurking she wont mind, but rather than keep it for ourselves, I really wanted to share it. When hoping sent me that knitted hat that you guys have seen Saara wear in the photo, she also sent another hat (green and cream) with matching mittens. But as Saara was such a big baby at birth, the hat unfortunately doesnt fit her head. So rather than have it just sitting there in the drawer, I wondered if anyone else would like it instead.

I really hope that if hoping is lurking, she's OK with me passing it on to someone else on here.

blue and mm hope you're taking good care of yourselves, not long to go, so excited for you guys!

neeko hope you've felt some movement by now. Otherwise I would echo what blue said and pop over to a clinic for a check

lbm good luck for the scan today

4ever AMAZING scan pics

Kisses to my cyber nephews. Sorry for lack of personal posts

I've had a busy week with Saara, and DH and I have been down with a cold. I had Saara wieghed on Monday and she was 11 pounds, 11 ounces.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Anyone else having an x-factor party this weekend?

VJay · 11/12/2009 08:58

Hiya barbie I bet it does feel weird putting up a Christmas tree in the heat, but make the most of it, it's f f f f freezing up here in the Highlands today
I will post some more pics soon x

barbie1 · 11/12/2009 08:38

Morning vjay

Im sat in shorts and t shirt putting up the christmas tree....its feels so weird!

Thats lovely that you are donating the doppler, prehapes it will become a emmsy hareloom

I saw the cutest xmas babygro's in mother care earlier, you have to post us some pics!

4ever was meant to say earlier that your scan pics are lovely, very clear too.....

Hi everyone else, i have to get back to helping dh.....will be back soon x

VJay · 11/12/2009 08:33

Morning lovelies

mermaid I am waiting for my exam results at the mo, they should be with me anyday now. I also signed up for my next course the other day, 'graphs networks and designs' , it's a third year course, but I'm only doing half the amount of study this time, I think I have enough going on at the mo

blue Ajay has got some little Christmas babygros, they are sooooo cute

Right does anyone want my doppler, I was going to ebay it, but I think I would rather donate it to Emmys, so first come first served and all that

bluesatinsash · 10/12/2009 21:05

Sneaky we post as should be in bed...

Iggy - listen to mermaid - stay away from mc threads, keep that positive head on..

mermaid - your DH deserves one of your gold stars for being so supportive and smashing . It will be standing room only for your scan next week as we all jostle to hold your hand xxx

neeko - remember I posted @ same gestation as you as I had no movement one Saturday all way round IKEA etc. and you suggested cold glass? Somedays they're just quieter which isn't good for our sanity! When's your next ante-natal clinic? If not soon I would phone day clinic as you should be able to pop in for quick doppler check.

4ever - 17 weeks on Christmas Day wowser [smile} but we will not be dropping our holding of hands any time soon OK?

LBM - you are queen of stealthpregnancy! enjoy RL but let us know how you get on tomorrow.

Moon - we'll all be there for you now and through out 2010 x

MLS - really hope your DD is on the mend soon, what a worry you must be having..

Cupcake are you OK? you've been quiet which isn't like you? Hope you're sharing and talking to your DH xx

Vjay - can so picture you staring at Ajay and just feeling so blessed and happy . Have you got him a wee 'my first xmas' top?

Correction from my post of last night - head is at brim of pelvis not cervix . Got my obstetric terminology all mixed up

night all xx

mermaidspurse · 10/12/2009 17:31

ig don't read those threads, don't, really don't read them. We have to try to stay hopeful and forward and positive.xxxxxx

iggypiggy · 10/12/2009 14:57

am having small panic today - no logical reason - just illogical ones....

I have been reading about miscarriages after having seen a heartbeat (why?!) and I have been feeling a bit better... so pissed off with self...

barbie1 · 10/12/2009 14:25

just quickly for neeko Dont worry about a non moving bump....some days i went without any movement, its only now at 30 weeks that im getting constant kicks and pokes...however if its still the same in 24 hours it wouldnt hurt to call the midwife?

4everhopeful · 10/12/2009 13:09

Hey Neeko glad to hear u feelin a weeny bit better & dusted down, remember to take some gold stars & a pat on the back for what u HAVE achieved monneeko All the cards & pressies sorted, school nearly done, ur gorgeous girl, the list goes on.. If ur worrying about bubba maybe u could get checked out cos seeing bubs or hearing hb is sure to cheer u up for a long time as u just said! ....Also forgot to send get well wishes to mls poorly wee dd, & also forgot to add monkey to the list (oops) if someone can please do the honours? Right, gonna get ready to flit round a couple of shops for very last stocking fillers before picking dh up from sainsburys at 5pm! X

4everhopeful · 10/12/2009 12:51

Hey lbm good luck with rl stuff! Exciting ur soon to tell people! Fingers crossed for ur apt tho sure all will be well! We are close, praying things remain ok, ill be 17wks on christmas day ...... Thanks for all ur comments on scan pics, like neeko says when i see them my heart aches to have complete faith & believe, but am so scared to dare to be complacent or cocksure in anyway so its still 1wk at a time, im already desperately in love with our little baby tho & spent about 40mins talking to him/her sayin just that, when dh went to work at 4.30am this morn! I also told baby all about u all & was then awake til 7am! ..... Got teary telling u that, as i did reading blue & moons posts of each spectrum of our journeys & how thankful we all are to each other & how uniquely special what we have is... I thought how poignant that blue only just brought the baby clothes, so touching, & that sums it up for me too really.... Mermaid we will get u thru this hon, iv been wanting to ask when ur danger zone is, we will be holding ur hand on mon, what time is it? I have real faith in cyclogest makin the difference for u hon... x ....Cupcake good luck with ur apt today, let us kno! .....Massive hug to Barbie & Neeko, also Vjay & your hardworking dhs.... Roll on christmas hols, for u too Jools lovely.... Oh & Iggy yes yes yes to lots of reassurance scans from the queen of them! ....Im still in bed posting on my pho (hence lack of sentences & sore thumbs!) My bf son is 6today so round there later, shes also one with new baby close to my edd, wierdly her dd is 15wk today & my preg is 15wk tomorrow, who'd of thought that when i sobbed at the news she was born Anyway before we go there my dddddh is getting one of my main pressies on his lunch, then doin the food shop after an 11hr day bless him, he is workin so so hard (plus still cookin dinner every night) & im countin down til next fri when he starts his hols! Im so very lucky to have him i love him to bits...
