Whoopin and hollerin
Not sure if any of you ladies heard a loud sound a short bit ago - if you did, it was probably just me. I rented one of the home doppler units - thinking it might keep me from being so paranoid if I could hear the peanut's heart from time to time. Well, I tried all weekend with no luck. I used every argument in the book - I'm fat, it can't get through the fat, the baby is too little to pick up the heartbeat very easily - I have no clue what I am doing other getting this gel everywhere - did I just pick up a local radio station? that sounded like a little Garth Brooks - the baby is still down behind the pubic bone - I even tried once with a VERY full bladded like they suggest - after nearly wetting myself - still no luck.
So I thought to myself, self, give it up. Wait until after next week when the baby moves up into the abdomen - quit trying to suck in your belly - it really isn't working, the fat is still there - and just wait and take the bloomin thing in to your next dr appt and get them to show you how to use it. Well, being the stubborn dum-dum that I am I thought I'd try once this evening just for hoots and giggles. Well, miracle or all miracles, after wiggling the probe around a little I heard a bump bump bump bump bump bump bump sound - no doubt what it was - I wasn't even holding in my gut! Why do I suddenly feel like going out to go play a slot machine and test my luck? Happy Tuesday to ya'll and thanks for listening to me rave!

congrats on hearing the HB!! It is very reassuring! When i was at your stage I could usually find it way down by my pubic bone with the doppler pushed way in and tilted towards my toes. Baby is still very low! now at 16 weeks the baby is higher and i can find it without even trying. best of luck!
