Heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time!

[weefoggy]

It was amazing! I bought a doppler when I was 12 weeks and haven't been able to find a heartbeat since, got to the point where I didn't want to try as it was worrying me when we couldn't find anything.

Anyhow OH persuaded me to try again last night and after just 30 seconds he found a strong healthy heartbeat! It was a beautiful moment, problem is it is addictive and I want to listen again!

I read somewhere you should only do it once/twice a week, anyone aware of the correct guidelines? x

I heard mine for the first time too. Took the mw 10 mins to find it, baby was really hiding lol.

I'm scared to get one because I think I will become obsessed with listening, but then I'm obsessed with not knowing lol xxx

omg the best experience was hearing little bambinos heartbeat beating away at around 130-140 is this good, Midwife said it was a very strong heartbeat, has made me feel a bit better about bambino now roll on the next scan x

Aww yay I cried first time I heard my sons lol

This time I haven't heard the hb yet, got my 16 wk midwife appointment next week so hopefully she'll find it then.

I hired a doppler a while back, but I never found the hb and sent it back without re-renting it. In the paperwork that came with it htough it didn't say anything about how frequently to use/not to use xxx

Yeah this was my 16 weeek appointment and i was soo looking forward to it, MW has said to go to my original date of 6th june so ticker is 2 days behind at moment, mine was found straight away luckily she preapred me saying dnt worry if i dnt find it first time and we both couldnt miss it xxx

Aww... it's lovely, isn't it? I didn't expect I'd hear mine until my 16 week appointment on Jan 4th, but I was in for a consultant appointment about bloods today and my midwife said she'd try the doppler if I liked, although it might be early to find it easily. Luckily she found it almost immediately! Hubby was there too and you should have seen the grin on his face. Magic!
