So how would you know if baby had hiccups?

(weezl - the way I figure everyone out is to use the list someone made on the MSE group which matches up everyone's usernames to real names!)

ah! Thanks, will hunt for that list!

Hiccups, I'd describe it as a low down popping sensation with a little jump of the baby (easier to feel the pop than the jump) and that they are much quicker (between hics) than adult hiccups cos baby doesn't have to breathe in between so they're maybe like once a second?

Oh dared to suggest we chuck out some of my record collection !!!! Have midwife this afternoon so finishing work early but seeing as we are only 5 mins from the hospital cant leave too early. Wonder how nicki is getting on. Does anyone know can i get my hipg from the hospital midwife or from my doctors

We've bought a new car (not sure if anyone will remember, I was rabbiting on about it last week!), a black 207 - way bigger than my Aygo and we got a good deal on it, so I'm pleased

I remember I am a bit jealous, although I love my 107, I had a go of a 207 and loved that too so if I was to get a bigger car I may well consider one of those (scuttles off to decide whether to call dealership and ask about trade-in prices.......naughty!).

Ah, if you had only logged on 1 hour later i would of been on facebook.

Not yet, im going to call her on my lunch break at 12, she'll prob tell me not to worry though. But i have docs on saturday so i'll ask him to try and find the heartbeat then

Dont feel to blame, its not at all your fault, i've been wanting to use the doppler again for ages. Its prob cause mine isn't an official doppler, its more of an amplifier. Well thats what i read online, its the angelsounds one. Not the one with the heartrate counter, just the small pink one

I couldn't get back on facebook or on here last night. OH's phone and my Broadband were playing up

I got myself in a right panic yesterday, i got out on doppler and laid on the sofa and tried to find the heartbeat, couldn't find anything. So i stood up and tried again, still couldn't find anything. Earlier in the day i had a few cramps and i put 2+2 together and panicked.

Morning All, still here. :rolleyes:

EA, please don't panic about not hearing the hb. I'm 40+2 and still can't hear heartbeat with the Summer doppler that a friend loaned me. Really glad I didn't pay for it, it's shockingly bad. I can't even hear my heartbeat on it.

The cramps are perfectly normal and most likely are just your ligaments and stuff stretching to accommodate the growing baby.

I know its an awful lot easier said than done but please don't worry. Saturday will soon be here so hopefully you can hear it then. Agree to ring midwife later if you are still concerned though.

Thank you

Any other day i would think the cramps are innocent enough, but i instantly put two and two together. I'll let you all know what she says though when i call her.

Just had to leave the building, we had a fire alarm. Usually we have fire alarm tests at 10am, and at 10:23am it rang and i looked at the clock and instead of thinking 'FIRE!' i thought 'oh, its not 10am, they must be late'
:rotfl:

If there was ever a fire at 10am, we're screwed

But its safe to come in, apparently they checked the whole 10 floors in 10 mins *dubious*:rotfl:

guess everyone's busy at work this morning! Week is dragging on, as usual. I have no love for work, so wish I could be time for ML...9 weeks to go at the end of this one, but that's definitely not soon enough!

Had a convo with my dad last night and had to set him straight...when my mom died (last month), we invited him to come stay with us for 3-4wks when the baby is born. Well turns out he got the impression that we wanted him there for the BIRTH and immediately after. Eek, with all the birth stories of leaking, bleeding, stitches, puking, etcetc. the last thing I want is to stress about someone else in my house!! We were envisioning him coming about 2 weeks after so we'd have time to get to grips with being new parents and bond with baby before another person came along. He seemed to understand, but I hope I didn't offend him! It's not that I mind him seeing baby immediately after birth, it's just I don't think I could deal with stress of him living with us during that transition period, y'know?
