Just got back from a routine visit at ob/gyn...I was disappointed to find out that they were not going to start doing the doppler to check baby's heartbeat until I hit the 12 week mark.
After talking with the physician about my concerns since this pregnancy occurred after a loss, she called the nurse back in to attempt the doppler but told me not to be worried if she couldn't find anything.
Sure enough, within 5 seconds the nurse found our little bean and measured the heart rate at 169. I feel so much more at ease hearing that beautiful sound and feel like I can actually start letting myself enjoy this last pregnancy and dream of our little baby.
This was the perfect way to end 2012...I am so excited for 2013! Happy New Year (early) everyone!!!
Re: On Cloud 9...
Awesome! I have not heard the h/b on a doppler yet. I am looking forward to it. I am glad we got to see the h/b in previous appointments though.
Glad you got to end 2012 on a great note.
