Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi All,

I went to the doctor on friday and she tried with the doppler. She was not able to hear it and told me since i am only 8 1/2 weeks it is difficult and she suggested that i come after 2 weeks. I was not convinced and told her that I want to go for a scan as I am really tensed. Then we went for a scan that day evening and everything is normal. The baby is 8.5 weeks old and they said heart beat is good. No problem.

I was so relieved after that. Thanks to Archie and Suba for their patience with me. It helped me a lot Girls.

Doctor has advised me to take HCG injection for another 4 weeks. She has asked me to come for a checkup after 2 weeks. Guess she will try with doppler that time.

Archie, I have some questions for you. Once we know that we can hear the heartbeat can we be sure that things will be normal in the initial stages. What I am trying to ask, I have read somewhere that the risk of abortion is highly reduced after the heartbeat is formed. Is it true?

Nausea is there, white discharge is there and also slight uncomfort in the tummy. Guess these are normal. Since I kept having stomach pain in the last time, I am very tensed if I get stomach pain. Having sneezing early in the morning, and the stomach hurts when I sneeze. I hold my stomach when I sneeze.

Please advise me with the precautions I need to take from now.

My love to Advait.

Thanks once again,

I was equally tensed, not because I was doubting but mainly because I know it's difficult to pick up with doppler this early. And what if your Dr. does not go for u/s.

Glad to note all is well with littleone.

usually the risk is reduced when fetus is formed and heart is beating. Risk is even more reduced once you passed the first trimester, another 3.5 weeks to go.

What I am glad is u/s estimated growth as much as you calculate and this should be helping you a lot to boost confidence about this pregnancy.

Your concerns are normal, they will be there in first trimester and sometime throughout the pregnancy.

I would want you to take rest still and continue hCG for another 4 weeks, once you overcome this stage then you can join March club, I know you wanted to wait, or have my comments here only if that's what you want to.

Hold your tummy while sneezing and coughing. It won't harm your littleone however.
