heartbeat?

Hi there this is my first post. Im looking for some advice, this is my first baby. We were told after ttc that we were infertile. The same month I had a bad fall from a ladder at work :-( once taken to hospital we found out that I was pregnant :-D such a miracle after all weve been through, god has truly blessed us! Ive had a 6 and 8 week scan and bith were great. I cant help but feel so anxious about our babys health. My next scan isnt until 13weeks so 2weeks to wait :-( I was thinking about renting a doppler machine to try and hear the babys heart beat to put myself at ease. Does anyone have any suggestions? X

Yay congrats! I wanted to rent one so bad but my bf said it's money I could be saving monthly so I didn't. Although, it's very comforting hearing your babies heart beat and for you, who was told it wasn't going to happen this would ease your mind, I think you should get it. Now keep in mind, not everyone gets a strong beat early... Don't get one from a Doppler until 16w. I was scared but I'm 37w now and everything is good

I dont personally have one, but everybody talks about the angel brand ones. But I dont think theyll pick anything up until 12 weeks or so. Not positive though. Congrats on becomming pregnant! That must have been the best suprise ever!
