I could!! Of course, I started crying. The little bambino is hiding out behind where my heart beat is. It's taken a few attempts. I tried for a half hour this morning, and then watched a few you tube tutorials. I just wanted to try ONE more time before I gave up until 12 weeks. And lo and behold, I FOUND it! Galloping away at 160-170!! OMG, such a relief!! I even grabbed my cell phone and recorded it for DH

I did the same thing! My stabby NP couldn't find it but I did and now SO and I listen before bed every night.
Now that you have found it the first time it will be easier to find it going forward. My babe hangs out in the same two spots usually.
So happy for you that you persisted and finally found it!
I'm considering it
Maybe I should ask for my money back from my last appointment!
