Hi all! My pregnancy is high risk because of the elevated odds of a heart defect that my baby could have. My OH has a 10% higher chance of having children born with a heart defect because of a history of the defect in his family. We can test for it at 20 weeks (When they can identify the gender they can test for the defect). With this particular defect the odds of the child with the defect actually surviving through the pregnancy to a healthy birth are 1 in 4...
So for obvious reasons I am anxious to be able to hear my rainbows heart and keep track of it for myself, considering my first appointment isn't until August 25th... Does anyone know of any stores that carry Dopplers? I'm looking for a doppler with the probe, not the one that looks like a CD player, and if I can find one in stores I would go and get it right away instead of twiddling my thumbs waiting for one to get delivered.
Any input is appreciated!
