It is sure scary every time we walk in but we do a great job masking it with excitement.

My wife had some abnormal bleeding at about week 15 and we got to have an emergency ultrasound at that point. We developed a good relationship with the UltraSound doc from that point until our little one was born. <BR/><BR/>This kind of goes back to our technology conversation on the last post....exciting but a little scary.Rob Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213481414668281312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753780993885018622.post-191680225751065802007-11-12T16:58:00.000-08:002007-11-12T16:58:00.000-08:00*lurker* the docs always had trouble finding my da...*lurker* the docs always had trouble finding my daughter's hb and obviously things worked out fine as I'm sure they will with you and your baby too...but I wound up eventually buying one of those fetal dopplers from Stork Radio which had a display showing my baby's heartrate At first it was hard to find her heartbeat myself, but a couple of days after using it I found her heartbeat every day and it was majorly comforting to me -- ironically it got to the point that a minute after I put the doppler on my belly my daughter would move over right to it and when I talked to her I could actually hear her getting excited because she would start kicking and moving around ALOT - I LOVEDDDDD mine. Was expensive to buy it outright but it was cheaper than renting it and I thought we were going to try for another but it didn't work out that way so eventually I'll just wind up selling it.

I am having a difficult pregnancy and so had to go in for an appt. (due to spotting). Well the doctor decided to use the doppler... it was not picking up a heartbeat. She said she would like to order an ultrasound right away to check on things.... after what seemed like forever I finally got an ultrasound like an hour later. The baby was doing fine, kicking, sucking it's thumb, etc. Words can not describe what I felt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753780993885018622.post-18013035204452208502007-11-12T16:56:00.000-08:002007-11-12T16:56:00.000-08:00I'm so glad you got to see and hear your LO! I kno...I'm so glad you got to see and hear your LO! I know how scary it can be when they can't find the heartbeat and that sense of relief and joy when you get to see your LO moving around and hear that heart pumping.

My doctor doesn't like to even try to use the doppler until 12 weeks or so, just because it can be hard to get anything, and it freaks people out if it can't be heard. They do have a primitive sonogram machine in the office, though. I think this time we couldn't get the doppler to pick up a heartbeat at my 10-week appointment, so they took a look with the sonogram and saw the hb. Luckily I didn't have to try to get in somewhere else.<BR/><BR/>Glad everything worked out for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
