For those of you who have some trouble finding baby's HB with the doppler try this: sit on the edge of your bed and lay back with your butt like almost hanging off. I find that this helps to really push my pelvis up. I laid on my couch just now for like 15 minutes and wasn't having a lot of luck. When I laid on the edge of my bed I found it within 10 seconds. Now if the little booger would just stay still long enough to get a reading!!
Re: doppler tip!
Hahaha I actually stole this from a post in third tri about a week ago, but you can still call me the queen if you want
I'm looking into buying a doppler, what brand do you have? A lot of people like the hi bebe or the one from babybeats or something like that.
How early were you able to get your first reading? Since we've had 3 miscarriages in a year I would like to get one...when we get past our milestone of 8 weeks. I have my first appointment to hear the heart beat in 3 weeks--I'll be 7 weeks. I thought if we get to hear it then I wanted to order it so I can be ready for when 10 weeks rolls around so we can check it out. I think it will help ease the stress of wondering what's going on in between appointments.
