Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

I managed to hear baby's heartbeat on my fetal doppler! I'm pretty impressed with my skills. I didn't expect to find it yet (especially because my uterus is so tipped).

How exciting! I hired a doppler with my second pregnancy but I was always picking up my own heart beat and getting stressed when I couldn't find the baby's. So I swore I wouldn't do it again!

Wow - that's exciting, laughinglynxie! The earliest I was able to find my baby's heartbeat was 9 weeks 4 days.

I found my doppler yesterday and used it. I am really starting to wonder about twins because my lower left side was about 130 and my high upper right was 150. I checked it several times yesterday and again this morning and it was the same. But I think hearing the HB has started the dreams for me... I think the dreams started with my boys after I heard the HB, so maybe I needed that connection.

I had dreamt part of this dream before but it wasn't clear... I was at home with DS2 and a 2yo girl wearing a pink tutu, pink bow, and ballet slipper socks. I had two friends visiting but they were GD friends. Both of them had boys that were close in age but a little younger then mine. I am not telling who they were at this time, but one of them knows and the other mom named her boy Matthew. We were talking and joking around when my DH walked in holding a 2yo, couldn't tell the gender because I could only see the white shirt but lots of hair.

aww lucky ladies finding HB so early! I tried yesterday at 7+0 and didn't find the heartbeat, but it was there on the scan so baby must just still be too low behind the pubic bone for me at the moment

pp20 - really does sound like it might be twins if you hear two distinct ones at different rates!! when are you finding out?

[purplepoet20]

3/2 early morning here on the west coast. I will post right away but I don't know the time differences to well but my scan is at this time now.....

[purplepoet20]

I should be done and home and posting 2hrs later... I may get an early lunch for the boys.

Can't wait to hear how things go at your scan!
And, wow, you were able to find a heartbeat really early! I wish I had a doppler to use at home, but when I've looked into them with previous pregnancies they were too expensive. If I had gotten one with #1 it would have been worth it to use over and over with each pregnancy, but since we think this is our last (#4) I can't justify the cost. :/

[laughinglynxie]

How many weeks are you laughinglynxie?

I'll be a full 7 weeks tomorrow! Which is why I'm so surprised! I'll admit I had to squish down through some of the bloating.

Maybe this is still too expensive, but I got mine for $30 including delivery from eBay. I had no idea you could get them so cheaply or I would have gotten one for my earlier pregnancies!

I am borrowing it from my OB Dr. DS2 was so calm that I was always concerned if he was still alive. The Dr got a discount when he ordered these new fancy ones ($3,000 each) he paid 40% of the total price. Since he ordered about 50 of them he allows some of the people he trust to use them. He knew that as soon as DS2 was a boy that I wanted another one so he let me keep it until I am done. I like it because it has a 9mth memory so if I see something wrong with the HB I can show it to him.
