hopingfor4 congrats on your twinies!!! Double the fun!
I got my doppler on Monday and heard the HB that day (8+4). Heard it again yesterday at 8+6. It can be really reassuring if you have had losses or are just worrying for any reason. It seems like if we can buy a $50 doppler on ebay and hear the baby at 8-10 weeks, that the doctor or midwife would have just as sensitive or MORE sensitive equipment and be able to hear it. 16 weeks or later is crazy! This is our first baby so I have no idea when they will try to listen on a doppler (I'm in the US), but I think I've heard 12 weeks. Tomorrow is my next appt but I don't think I'm technically "supposed" to have a scan. I am planning on BEGGING for one just so I can see the baby...keeping my FXed that it goes well. Even though I am hearing the HB myself now I am just nervous after my bleeding and history with losses. Trying to take DEEP breaths...
