Strong healthy heartbeat spinning!!

I know! i'm hoping it means something! i know its a myth but my DD was fast and my boys were low!

[Rosie85]

My doctor said he thinks there is some truth to it. My boys' hearts were both at 165 or so. This baby was 180. He said I think it's a girl after he listened. I really hope its truthful but then again my boys' were so high for me I don't want to read to much into it. Maybe my girl would have a lower rate. :-( hmmm

I bet yours is a girl though if it's following the same pattern!

[spinningmadly]

it's early and I know its faster earlier right? who knows. I do remember my Mw last time heard it , it was 170 at some point and she was like its a girl! totally worth all the sickness! LOL (because I was super sick and whining)

[Rosie85]

Your midwife just knew and she will say the same this time!

I never had an early scan with either boy so I don't know if there heart rates changed at all but with this baby the arly scan at 8 weeks put the heart rate at 180 and it was still 180 at the 12 week visit.

I have my first appt tonight at 7pm est. The doc will listen to the heartbeat and possibly do a pap. I really hope not though. The last 2 times I've had them at my 12 week check up I bled so bad when they swept my cervix. Reall not looking forward to it. I'm going to be her to leave me alone...hahaha.

[Rosie85]

Good luck at your appt Three! Maybe if you ask you can have the pap at a later date? Or she could be more gentle?? Hope the heartbeat is fast and strong!

I didn't have an early one with DS2 either. I do remember we heard the heartbeat via doppler super early , like 7 weeks maybe? but he did come 2 weeks early and my due date was off so he prob was closer to 8-9 weeks, anyway, his was not nearly that fast, I think prob 140s.
My first with this one was at 7 weeks and it was 138 but they said for that early that was pretty fast and it will get faster. I had an early one with DS1 but gosh I don't remember at all what his was. my memory sucks.. lol.. my poor kids.

Yikes can't believe I am 16 weeks pregnant! Almost halfway there!

Anyone else having issues with food tasting off? It seems half of what I eat tastes funny. Eggs taste especially funny and the other day my bowl of honey nut cheerios tasted like formeldahyde. What the heck??! I am used to this during early pregnancy but it's never last this long and for this many food items. It drives me crazy!

Everything tastes too salty to me. I had to throw out my dinner the other night and DH thought I was crazy!!
