Moments that make it all worth it!!

My husband was sitting on the edge of our bed and I was standing in front of him and gave him a hug, as I was getting ready to leave the room, he said "don't move!" So I stopped, then he looks up at me with the biggest smile on his face and his eyes were lit up like a christmas tree and he says, "I can hear the baby's heart beating!!"
The absolute most precious moment I've experienced! One I'll truly never forget, it absolutely made my day!! ♥

Aww! A couple weeks ago, when I was about 18 weeks, i had only felt flutters once or twice. Well when daddy came over to visit finally, as soon as he got there he kissed me and then lifted up my shirt and kissed my belly a bunch of times, and my baby was moving like crazy! I'm like "he/she moves around for you, but not for me!" It was cute lol :)

Of course not. When our guys get super into their babies why would we stop them lol. I feel bad for them sometimes because they don't get to feel the baby the way we do, but it just makes it more special when they do get to experience their child in the womb. My hubby was laying his head on my belly and got kicked in the head. It's his favorite story to tell people.

So cute! You can definitely hear the babies heartbeat after you are so far a long. My hubby can, he is a drummer and can't pretty much tell me about what her heartbeat is too :)

I have been fortunate enough to hear our little girls heartbeat! It was early in the morning I put my head up to my wife's stomach and heard a VERY distinct difference between my wife's heartbeat and our daughters heartbeat. It's absolutely possible!

@babyboy111 yeah you can lol..and I didn't say I heard it, I can't hear it bc I can't put my head on my stomach, my husband however can put his head on my stomach, and he had his ear right where our son is and you can tell the difference between the speed of my pulse/heartbeat and the speed of my babys heart beating. Its def possible after you're so far along :)

Yeah it might be possible. I have an electronic microphone thing that you can put over your stomach and wear headphones and you can find the baby's heartbeat...it is really hard to get it right, but if the baby has its back up against the front of the outside of your stomach why wouldn't it work?

Back before the doppler was invented doctors used a special stethoscope called a fetoscope or something like that. Google it.
