Heartbeats!

I’m 9w 5d and just heard the heartbeat on my at home Doppler. I was counting around 174 bpm. Anyone else?

I heard my first baby at 10 weeks and my second at 8 weeks. I’ve heard this one a couple of times but it’s a tricky thing. If you can’t find it you might panic. So I just don’t bother very often.

I’ve never had a Doppler. I kinda want one but idk where is a good place to get it? My baby’s HB was 158ish the other day at 13 weeks

@virtaur I got mine back in 2016 from babydoppler.com. It’s a sonoline B.  Definitely a nice thing to have, but this early it can freak you out if you can’t find it. Like I found my first two kids really easily and was able to listen like once a week for as long as I wanted until I was feeling kicks and didn’t feel like I needed it anymore. But this kid is incredibly hard to find so I think my placenta is directly in front and blocking it. So I don’t try often. But I also don’t have the same levels of anxiety as I did in 2016 when I was expecting my rainbow baby.

@HGRich thank you!! I’ve heard those are usually the most recommended! I think I’ll pass on it for now because I have an anterior placenta this time so I’d probably have a harder time and I don’t want to freak out lol
