ok, so despite the fact that i've felt her a bit today, i'm bored so i thought i'd have a quick listen. as usual, i found her hb right away, but all of a sudden...
WHALLOP
she kicked the doppler (and me). she did it again 2 more times (yes, i am going to be the mother that nudges her baby for my own amusement).
Re: she HATES the doppler!
OK, I'm the parade rainer onner here... she really may actually hate it for real (how's that for clarifying statements?) I have a family member who is an u/s tech and she said that home dopplers and even u/s machines have not undergone much research on the effects of the developing ears. It probably is a little scary to be bombarded with WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH out of nowhere!
so you're saying i should stop? is there a 12 step program for doppler-a-holics? because i think i may need one.
No, just stick some earmuffs on your belly when you use it.
No, no, no. She isn't kicking it away from you ! She's being a show-off! Showing you how big and strong she is growing : )
I'm also one of "those" moms... I poke my belly all the time trying to force Baby Charlie to move. DH hates it when I do that, "stop bugging him!" he always says. I just laugh and keep poking!
