My boy threw me for a loop the other day at the doctors. He normally finds the heartbeat around my belly button but baby has dropped really far down so he had to search, and every time the monitor got close baby boy would kick it and move to the other side! He HATES the doppler and the monitors for the stress test. Try not to think on it too much because you'll make your blood pressure all wack and if they check that beforehand you don't want them to get worried about that.

Thank you. I heard the heart best at 6w via ultrasound, I'm just terrified baby won't be there or something worse ugh. And I'm a big girl, over weight pre preg will that effect my Dr being able to find it?
