Squee! I found the h/b on home doppler!

I have had a few mc, the last one was a MMC at 9 weeks, and I've been a wreck since we got the pregnancy results. I'm 8w4d today and ordered a doppler that came yesterday, knowing that it was probably too early but thought I'd play around with it anyway. I was telling DH about how cool it was that it can detect the heart rate and was listening to my own heartbeat when all of a sudden he said, "Wait...what's that?" And sure enough, there it was! A strong and steady 170bpm! I know there are no guarantees, especially after losing our last baby after seeing the hb at 8 weeks, but this really made me feel better anyway. Stay strong, baby!

That’s awesome! I could find DD1’s heartbeat that early and any other time I tried. DD2 was an asshole and I could barely ever find her HB, which drove my anxiety crazy! But I used to love listening to DD1’s HB every night for a few weeks until I felt movement

That's awesome!!

For at least a week I was listening to my own heartbeat, lol! I couldn't find DS's until about 13-14 weeks, but at least this time I'll know what to look for.

I loved my home doppler and I am so glad you could hear the heartbeat already!

can you recommend the one you bought? I might need one of these.

Yes! I got THIS ONE. Reasonably priced I think, and obviously works
