OMG. I am so darn excited! And relieved! And shocked! I rented a doppler last week and have tried it a couple of times, knowing it is on the early side. (I’m 9w3d today.) So today my uterus feels really firm and near the surface, so I thought I’d give it another whirl. I started low and went all the way up the “uterus region”…..nothing. Then I thought “what the heck? That took all of two minutes, let try going back down.” All the sudden I heard this totally different sound than I had been hearing and the digital reading was fluctuating between 173-177. It had to be it, but my trusted friend google would be able to confirm. One “fetal heartbeat sound” search later and I heard the same sound coming from my computer!
Yea, little one! I am absolutely in awe and so excited that baby is growing with a healthy heartbeat much longer than any of the rest and now I can have reassurance any time. Woo hoo!!!
And Lisa, if you are out there, I’ve been thinking about you–hope the move and meds are going well!
Nancy that is amazing I cried a little reading your post I am so so happy for you. Thanks for thinking of me that means a lot I cannot wait to see pics of the baby!
That is so awesome!!! It took me until I was twelve weeks before I could find the heartbeat myself. I was up way too high but am now a pro at it. I wish I would have gotten a digital one but for now I just have to count the beats. I am so glad you’ve come this far!!! I hope your reassurance comes soon so you can enjoy every minute. Congrats!
Hi Nancy! I’m sorry I’ve been out of touch. Congratulations on your pregnancy and such a wonderful little heartbeat!! The doppler will definitely be your best friend for quelling those worries throughout the next months. I’m so happy for you!
*whew* I’m very happy for you. YAY little baby!
Yay! I am so happy for you. I hope everything continues to go well….you deserve to have things go well.
