They always say be nice to the one you love because you never know what could happen ... we all just take that for granted though at times! 
I dont think I could take it!!
. I've got the angelsounds one, its really good. I've never had a problem finding the HB from about 12 weeks. One thing I will say is if you are experiencing reduced movement, even if you hear a HB I think you would still be advised to go to or call the hospital so that they can monitor you properly.

I know I have absolutely no right to be whining or complaining right now, but I was seriously bummed this morning at our prenatal appointment.
I started this pregnancy way too heavy - 205 lbs (5'4).
As I started out heavy, I was hoping I wouldn't gain a lot.
When the heaviest I weighed in was 211 around 4 months or so, I was thankful it wasn't higher...and then at the next appointment the weight had dropped to 207, and then at my last appointment, it was down to 203!
I was like, SWEET! I'm going to come out of this less than I weigh now!
But then today, they weighed me and I was 206, so basically back to where I was pre-pregnancy, except now I have a ~ 2lb baby/placenta/whatever else inside of me.
I know this is no reason to be upset! But I am! I'm now terrified that between now and the next 11 weeks, I'm going to get enormous.
Again, I know this is silly to be upset about, but because of my body image issues and history of weight gain/loss (which has resulted in a stomach that has more stretchmarks than I wish), I just feel bothered by this.
Not writing this to insult or be wah-wah...just needed to vent it...
So im happy I did not send that nasty text to the OH last night.
He just called me to let me know he is in the ER down south were he has been working. Guess the saw he was working with malfunctioned and was coming straight for his chest. He managed to block it with his hand. It went right though his cut gloves so he suffered a nasty gash that needed stiches. The doc said if he wouldnt have blocked it and it would have hit his chest, it could have went right to the heart and instant death.
This same saw about took one of his co-workers fingers off last week. Odd his co-worker got his stiches out today and then my OH gets them put in. Now im going to worry until he is back home. His job is just putting him on light duty and wont send him home until friday
And heres my pregnancy story...!
OH has wanted a baby for years and has been nagging on about it forever. I wasn't so sure - I've always been a bit of a free spirit and I'm in the middle of my university degree. In September(ish) 2010 I agreed to stop taking my pill and see what happens. Nothing happened, mainly because we were living in different cities at the time and although we spent a lot of time together it was difficult to catch the fertile few days each month!
Anyways it eventually happened and we got our first BFP in September 2011, so after about a year of NTNP. We were both elated but sadly that pregnancy ended in the November at 11 weeks after some spotting and a scan confirmed that the baby wasn't developing. I had a pretty horrendous MC and some really heavy bleeding and had to be admitted to hospital. After that I was really in the darkest place I've ever been, for a couple of months. I could think of nothing else but TTC and this little bean came along and made me smile again in Feb!!
So happy things worked out for you, Sharonfruit. I bet that was really hard losing the little one. I was a nervous wreck until I could feel the baby. I mean a serious disaster. One of my friends had had a missed miscarriage at 9w and didn't know until 12w and I just had this horrid feeling about it being the same for me. I guess nature had a plan. . . Big congrats to you!
Average is all good right now. Also got my appointments booked for 32 and 36 weeks ony to find out my midwife is going to be out of town for my 36 week appt. A little worried if little man comes early I could be facing delivery with a stranger.
