I'm so excited - just had to share ... had my 16w midwife appointment today, and she said they don't usually listen for the heartbeat until 24 weeks because people get worried if they can't find anything ... we spoke about it and I told her I was fine if she couldn't find anything, I understood it didn't mean anything bad. She put the doppler on my belly and literally within a couple of seconds you could hear the unmistakeable sound of the heartbeat! Really fast, and really loud! It was an amazing sound and I admit, I was nearly welling up. An unforgettable moment, even more so than the first scan!
