everdene I had the exact same doppler with DD 8 years ago and couldn't find her heartbeat till around 16 weeks...they are notoriously tricky to detect especially as we're not trained if you know what I mean?

I wouldn't worry too much, I used to pick up my own heart and panic!

SharkBastard · 12/10/2016 03:36

Pregnancy insomnia is well and truly established for me now! At least the cat likes my late night company

Helbelle75 · 12/10/2016 04:50

Morning shark, I'm awake too. Fun times!

Bubbinsmakesthree · 12/10/2016 05:43

jpeg I'' sure all is fine but it must be a worry. Hope it stops soon.

everdene - even the trained midwives don't use a Doppler for a heartbeat before 16 weeks, it's notoriously difficult. I kind of hate dopplers - cause of so much unnecessary worry, and I've posted before about my friend who nearly lost her baby due to false reassurance from a Doppler nearly overriding her instincts about reduced movement.

I am feeling really sorry for myself - toddler DS (who has just got over 3 days of illness I have been dealing with single-handed) got himself into a right state last night, wouldn't go to sleep, got frantically overtired, screaming and inconsolable. I ended up in tears myself when this was still going on at midnight.

I have been feeling utterly exhausted for the last few days which has finally morphed into what I hope is just a cold but people at work have been off saying they've got the flu - I hope it is just dramatics and it's just a cold. But I'' currently awake shivering with a terrible sore throat on top of my usually middle-of-the-night nausea.

Finishing up a massive project that I have been working on for the last year this week, with insane deadlines and loads of out-of-working. Project is launched over the weekend and if I miss it due to illness I will weep.

Sorry for moan, just very fed up!

SharkBastard · 12/10/2016 07:12

How are you this morning jpeg?

Hell hope you managed to either get more sleep or cope on what sleep you managed! I hate insomnia!!!

Bubbins moan away I say! Sounds like a shit week so far. Don't know how you manage. I'd be in tears.

Anyone felt any movements yet? Suppose many of you are getting to that stage if it's your second or third etc! I've had weird feelings at night, almost like when you drive down a hill too fast and your tummy flips, happens when I lay on my left side in the evenings. Sometimes at work too!

Nausea is wearing off during the day but is still bad in the evening, wish that would bugger off!

RaRa25 · 12/10/2016 07:12

How are you this morning jpeg?

Celen · 12/10/2016 07:30

Yes thinking of you this morning jpeg x

everdene how many weeks are you? Don't panic! In my first pregnancy, the MW couldn't find the heartbeat at my 16 week appointment and I ended up speeding up to the hospital for an emergency scan - DS was fine Grin If you've had your 12 week scan you'll know how much the babies can move and it can be very tricky even for trained professionals to find the heartbeat because of the wriggly little buggers inside us! Smile

15 weeks and still have pregnancy insomnia so I'm so glad I have more company with you ladies Wink

Bubbinsmakesthree · 12/10/2016 07:32

Moan part II, since my last post I have been sick repeatedly, then DS was woke up screaming again - gave up on any of getting more sleep. DS has had less than 6 hours sleep and is being an overtired monster. I feel dreadful - i'd normally get through the day on Lemsip, strepsils and caffeine, will have to make do with honey and lemon. I just want to hide under a duvet but on my way to work.

Celen · 12/10/2016 07:33

I think I'm feeling a little movement SharkBastard but it's really sporadic. Feels a bit like little "pops" inside me Confused

Celen · 12/10/2016 07:34

Bubbins don't you get sick pay? If so, go back home crazy lady, you need your rest!

ChatEnOeuf · 12/10/2016 07:40

Hope things have settled this morning jpeg.

Everdene, there's a reason a lot of MWs have stopped even trying to find heartbeats at 16w - it's really hard! They wriggle and move, they are still tiny...don't panic!

I think I've felt a couple of movements, little swooshes here and there. Not consistent or regular yet, but I think it's baby. I'm 14w with number three, so it's quite likely - DD was at 17w and DS at 13.

I also have a cold. Horrible headache yesterday and a very hoarse voice. Hot squash is my usual remedy, and it makes me feel sick - marvellous.

Lovely scans again, it's great to keep on seeing them :)

TopKittyKat · 12/10/2016 07:55

I've also been thinking I can feel movement, but as its my first I keep saying it must be in my head. It's mainly at night when I turn from lying on my right hand side to lying on my left. It's like a little fluttering. I've had it a few nights now. I'm 14+3. Am I bonkers!?

Jpeg - I'm thinking of you this morning. I hope you're ok.

marmitecheesetoast · 12/10/2016 08:41

Hope you're ok jpeg thinking of you this morning.Flowers

Sounds miserable bubbins hope you feel better soon

I'm also feeling grumpy today. I had a terrible nights sleep, got up for no less than SIX wees?! Which is a record even for my first trimester self. No idea what that was about. Plus my eczema was driving me crazy in the night and I couldn't roll over onto my other side because of flu jab arm pain! Plus DH was snoring like a trooper and I've woken up with a headache for the 3rd day in a row Envy sorry for moaning!

Has anyone bought a pregnancy pillow yet/got any recommendations?

I haven't felt any movements yet, but I'm only 13+5 and it's my first. How exciting that some of you think you are feeling the first flutters though!

Everdene to echo what others have said I've heard it's notoriously difficult to find hb so early even when a trained MW so don't worry! Step away from the Doppler!!

Puggleface · 12/10/2016 09:59

Morning ladies, sorry I've been MIA the past few days! Just caught up on the thread, lovely to see more great scan news and photos!

jpeg How are you doing? has the bleeding eased at all?

Everdene Hope you're ok, I've never used a doppler for fear of not finding the heartbeat. I have a friend who is a midwife so was planning on calling on her if I ever wanted to hear the heartbeat!

13+5 here and I swear I've felt a few 'pops' and 'swishes' but could well be my over active imagination.

Celen · 12/10/2016 09:59

TopKitty that's exactly how my first felt like - little flutterings Smile

marmite that sounds so rubbish! You poor love Sad Cake

sarahhh1984 · 12/10/2016 10:56

Thinking of you today, jpeg.

Sorry to all of those feeling rubbish today. Marmite, I've not had to get up six times yet but getting up for wees in the night is doing me in. I used to sleep through and not wake up until morning so massively noticing the difference!

Just got back from my scan. One incredibly wriggly baby dated at 12+3 so I'm a bit ahead. Due date is now 23 April 2017.

April 2017 #4 More baby scans, less morning sickness!

Best wishes to all of you for beautiful little bundles in April xxx
