Welcome Wantingagirl!!! Congrats on that BFP!!!

How are you feeling?

Daphne, we used my 2nd hand doppler at 10 weeks exactly and we found the heartbeat so I'm sure you'll be able to find it as well.

I suggest doing what my sister (trained paramedic) did with mine. She first put it on her heart so that we could distinguish between what breathing sounds like etc and also because mine is 2nd hand we did that to test that it is working.

Anyway after about 5 mins or so we found it. It was very soft and like a drum roll in the background "drrrrrr"
I let my bladder get really full and after a few hours we tried again. The full bladder lifted my uterus so that made the heartbeat (louder) easier to hear as well.

Cannot wait for you to let us know!

Yes and then you know if you struggle a bit (FX you wont) that everything is fine so it might just be too early for you

Got this tips from Dr. Google and your recommendation is at no. 1.

"Tips on Using the BabyBeat Fetal Doppler Monitor

1. A full bladder often helps. It helps push the uterus forward to hear those small fetal heartbeats.

2. Early in pregnancy it is good to start in the middle of the abdomen (in line with the belly button) but right above the pubic hair line. If you have already heard the baby's heartbeat at the doctor's office, this is always a good place to start looking.

3. Move the doppler probe slowly - it is easy to scan over the heartbeat.

4. Tilt the ultrasound probe downward toward the pubic bone.

5. Be sure to use plently of Doppler ultrasound gel. If you run out, you can order a 8.5 oz bottle of Doppler gel from us or you can try body lotion or KY Jelly. Be sure to remove all air bubbles in the lotion to prevent static.

6. If you have trouble distinguishing the sounds you hear, please listen to the CD included with the unit.

7. It is normal at times to pick up the baby's heartbeat in more than one place. You may hear the same heartbeat a few inches apart - do not be alarmed, the Doppler is just intersecting the heart in a different location. Physicians listen for the difference in two heartbeats to determine if there are two fetuses.

8. If you are carrying twins, it can be difficult to distinguish between heartbeats (even physicians have a hard time with this). It is best to count the heartbeats and find two different rates. You can count the beats for 15 seconds and multiply that number by 4 to figure the beats per minute."

We heard our baby!!!!!! Highest FHR is at 169 bpm. It was a music in our ears odd that after hearing it, this pregnancy starts to sink in.... Apologies for all the noises...

That's wonderful! I know my second pregnancy and maternal instincts didn't kick in before I saw the first ultrasound and heard his little heartbeat.

Omg your little ones heartbeat!!! and your bump! Love!!!!!

I'm a little confused with my bump... If i didnt chart and didnt know when i ovulated i will think im far along than 12weeks....

We did the doppler again yesterday.... Tried it in mode 2 to see if there's a difference... Had to record it closely for louder heartbeat... Think will stick to mode 1 and do it again on a weekly basis...

Ultrasound went amazingly well. Baby is measuring right at 6 weeks 1 day (I'm technically 6 weeks 2 days, but who's counting) and the heartbeat is a strong 110bpm. I am so happy that everything is going well. I'll be going back in 2 weeks for a second ultrasound and then graduating to the OB.
