Miraclemama I bought a Doppler and it is coming in the mail today. I keep peaking out the window for every car I hear lol

Skyline this particular model my friend recommended to me and she heard the heartbeat at 8 weeks 5 days.

Jsx I can't believe 8 weeks has already passed. Congrats glad everything is going well.

Introuble congrats, it sounds like you had an easy labor. Hope everything is going well for you.

@miracle - How disappointing! That was poorly handled by that person not to have let you know that you couldn't overlap inventory and let you know what was already there. I would have been super bummed as well. Yes, I work part time now, but the idea would be to pare it down to a 4 hour day instead of a 6 hour day. I really do not need to be here 6 hours every day! I agree on the need for better support for mothers AND fathers. I really wish our society had more respect for parents and that there was a much better support system. The better it is for the kids, the better it is for our culture as a whole!

@athena - Oh, good. I'm not sure what the standard for the model I have is on how soon it picks it up, I just now I found some videos on YouTube of women with this brand who found it at 8 and 9 weeks and I was like... no fair! I read that where the placenta is can also affect being able to hear the heartbeat, if the placenta is anterior, it can block out the heartbeat for longer... so that might be why I had trouble. That mail truck needs to hurry!

Thanks for all your replies ladies, will stop the EPO now! Feeling SUPER crampy today, so definitely think AF is on her way, wish there was something I could do to just make it start so I can get on with the next cycle! :/ when you get to this point and you just know that AF is gonna turn up, why make a girl wait and suffer for an extra few days, it's just not fair! Lol! :)

Congrats @lolee so glad those babies are staying put for now, sure hope you can make it another couple of weeks :)

football - I'm glad you got to spend some time with family, hope that getting back home and into your normal schedule will also be a good thing for you. My losses have all occurred at 8 weeks or later, so I'm not sure how to advise you on when your cycle will return to normal, but I would think it would be soon. Actually, the earliest loss I had was the ectopic, which was right at 4 weeks, and with that I had my period right on the dot. I hope this helps.

Athena - could you please tell me the brand name of your doppler? I'd love to get one, but some of the things I've been seeing online are battery operated microphones that only work right before you're supposed to deliver. I'd just like to get something reputable.

Skyline - if you have fibroids, I think they're just very uncomfortable. My oldest sister had them pretty bad with her last child, (she had a lot) and things like sneezing, coughing and bending in certain ways hurt her. I hope if that's what you have that it's not a big deal for you. I'm glad you're getting to cut your hours after the baby comes. While I love being an American, I wish there was more support out there for moms and dads, and that it wasn't so difficult for families to make it on one income!

Miracle - I'm sorry the Farmers Market was a bust! Hope you find something else in your area that works out better.

Lolee - Yay for 31 weeks! You're doing a great job, momma! Hope baby B turns himself around for you.

Jsxt - wow, has it been 8 wks already? Goodness time does fly! I know you're loving every minute of it, though.

Afm - Yesterday, my oldest ds was at a youth retreat, which meant I had to run the powerpoint during the church service. So even though the lady from the crises pregnancy center was there, I never got to see her (I was in our minuscule balcony, she was in the sanctuary), and my dh forgot to talk to her. So I haven't gotten over there to get an ultrasound yet. On the plus side, I got a call from my high risk ob saying she'd talked to my regular OB and they both agreed I could go back to the regular dr if I wanted to. Thank goodness!! I was sitting in my chair, pumping my fist in the air in celebration, when all of a sudden I got this big "whump" right under my belly button! Guess the baby was happy about it, too. LOL. My spotting comes and goes. When I'm on my feet more, I tend to see it the next morning, then it tapers off during the day. So I'm trying to be blase about it. I feel much, much better though. I try to rest for about 30 minutes in the middle of the day, but otherwise am full of energy until supper time. I'm keeping my FXd this little one will make it!

I've got a belly shot up if anyone wants to see it. Hope I don't get as huge as I feel like I will!

Mine is a sonoline c1 Doppler I ordered it off of ebay. I think I found the heart beat earlier, but I'm not 100% sure.
