Stupid doppler. I tried to find the heartbeat yesterday and today with no luck. In four pregnancies this is the first time I've been unable to find the heartbeat. I know I shouldn't freak out yet. I'm 12 weeks, the heart is still pretty dang small. Buuuut I can't decide how long I wait until I freak out. My next appointment isn't until the 19th. I found the heartbeat last Thursday, and at least four times before that. Come on baby, quit hiding. Be fine.
Do you have a tilted uterus? Or anterior placenta?
Not to my knowledge, but that would be simply because they haven't said either way. The nurse practitioner was able to find the HB quickly at my last appointment and I was only 9 weeks. But one of those could come in to play I suppose.
ajetter I put my Doppler away because I had a couple days in a row of not being able to find the HB after finding it earlier on. I have an OB appt on Thursday and am hoping they can find it then. With my DS the OB couldn't find it at 13w and all was ok. I know how much it sucks. ((Hugs))

At 12 weeks your ute is on the move I believe. It may just be in a different spot now! They need to just have someone with a Doppler hanging out for all the crazy pregnant lady moments. I downloaded a free Doppler app and managed to get it to work! But only about 1/4 of the time. I am pretty good at telling myself it's NBD but it's hard, especially when I'm feeling "off" or extra worried.
Any Stella & Dot lovers here?? I have extra Dot Dollar codes that expire tomorrow that I know my customers aren't going to use. $25 off every $50, if anyone wants some!
I just need to vent for a minute about doctors and insurance. So I went two years ago to my OB for a check-up after my second miscarriage, and while I was there we ended up chatting about clomid and she prescribed me some. So the entire visit got coded as infertility and I've been in a battle for TWO years with my insurance trying to get them to cover it. And then, a few months later, I was bleeding uncontrollably for over four weeks, so I went to my OB again, nothing related to infertility, right? Well because I had already somehow been coded as "infertile" my stupid insurance decided that they just will no longer cover me going to the OB at all... I just got off the phone with the doctors office (for the TENTH time) asking them to please re-code the visits so that I am not stuck with over $500 in medical bills for things that absolutely should have been covered... They said give them two weeks and see what they can do. I'm so annoyed. I hate dealing with all of this crap. As if insurance isn't expensive enough.
@missally since clomid is for infertility I think she would have to code it as such to cover herself handing out that prescription. Was the bleeding due to taking the clomid? I hope it gets sorted out soon! I am also surprised she would chat about clomid and hand it out like that, but that is another story.
The bleeding was not from the clomid, and I agree about her handing it out. I've since been much more educated on it.
I hate that I'm in this in between stage with my pants. My regular ones get tight by midday, but maternity pants don't stay up and that drives me crazy.
I haven't told work yet, so I don't want anything that would give away that I'm pregnant, so even if they weren't annoying I probably wouldn't wear maternity pants yet.
It's totally ok to unbutton my pants at my desk, right?

Anyone else having super vivid pregnancy dreams? I am having them almost every night.
Last night I had a dream that all my teeth were rotting out (which I also had when I was pg with DS) and another one where DH and I went to look at a litter of basenji puppies, I fell in love with a brindle bitch puppy but she was the breeder's pick and she wouldn't part with her and kept trying to get me interested in a brindle boxer instead. But, I didn't want a boxer and didn't understand why she kept showing this boxer to me when she was a basenji breeder and I had come to look at basenjis.
The night before that I had a dream I was at the park with a box of doughnuts to share with DH and DS but I couldn't find DH anywhere and then these random children showed up and took all the doughnuts.
I was very seldom remembering my dreams before I got pg so it's been really interesting.
Bestbuy had Ergo things heavy on sale so I got the Ergo 360 for 114 Canadian and an infant insert for 17! It is taupe so not the most popular colour but I dont crrr so yay saving money!
I also finally got some Maternity clothing as I am starting to feel safer about the whole thing.

I'm right there with you on the between sizes thing. I'm wearing a belly band for the first time today with my regular pants and it is helping so much!

MissSally, insurance companies and coding sucks. Sorry you had to deal with that today. This probably deserves some type of trigger warning... After my second miscarriage I got a bill from my OB's office for the prenatal care visits that I had. I told them that my plan covers prenatal care. Well, apparently it only covers prenatal care if you deliver a baby, and as the billing specialist told me, "you didn't deliver a baby." Well, no, not in the way I wanted to, fuck you very much. So my prenatal care visits were changed to "other maternity services" which go towards my deductible. I was so upset.

coconuthead, yes I dream all night long, it makes me feel not very rested. And they are vivid, especially with smells. In one dream I stepped in dog shit and the smell of dog shit was so strong in my dream that I woke up and thought for sure one of the dogs actually pooped in the house.

I'm all about the hair tie cheat - wrap a hair band through the button hole and loop both ends over the button! Gives some more wiggle room!!!
coconuthead yes, very vivid and very weird!!! Half the time I can't really remember what I dreamed later on but I remember them when I wake up and they're sooo random and weird!!!
Anybody else feel like all they do all day is eat and strategize about eating. Literally I fall asleep thinking about what I'm going to eat when I wake up in the morning (because I HaVE to eat instantly or get violently sick), and the rest of the day is figuring out what I'm eating next and when. 🙄

Yep the belly band is great for these few weeks. I wore mat pants to work yesterday and was worried the elastic was showing.

Wow that is all sorts of fucked up! I'm so sorry. Billing sucks. TW: when I had my d&c I got a bill for the "abortion", which really upset me.

I've been relying on TV shows a lot too much in the past few months... no judgement. The kiddos will be fine.
