Bittersweet! Heard HB at 8+6 on due date of my Angel

[daydreaming22]

Today was supposed to be the due date of my angel that passed at 12 weeks in July. I still get emotional thinking about what happened, even beyond the loss it was a very traumatic experience and I had severe complications. I am so grateful for my lil rainbow baby and tonight (((((I got to hear the HB on my doppler)))))! I bursted into tears of joy

I had been trying for the past few days b/c I have heard it is possible this early. I tried really low and angled it behind my pubic bone like everyone says...and nothing...just my HB bouncing off of everything else. Well tonight a thought popped into my head that I WAS going to find it but a bit higher. I placed the probe about 2" below my bb and to the left and BAM right away, the unmistakable sound of a baby's HB, at a strong 179 BPM! LO stayed still just long enough for DH to come in and have a listen.

Sorry I know this is kind of a strange post but I am just so grateful that I feel this happy on a day I have been dreading for the longest time.

Wishing everyone a H&H9 mos XX

Thanks ladies. I wont be using the doppler too often, but it was great and the piece of mind is absolutely priceless.

Amazing!! Don't worry if you don't hear it for a few days- I heard mine at 9 weeks then couldn't find it again till after 10 weeks- now I can find it easier!! XX
