Heard my baby's heartbeat!
Hi ladies
I had my second antenatal appointment this morning and the midwife found my baby's heartbeat straight away - she couldn't find it at my first visit. Wow! It was so amazing! Although I've had two scans and seen my baby moving around, to actually hear the heartbeat was very emotional, and it was so fast. Brilliant! xxxx

I remember when me and my oh first heard our lo's heartbeat its sure was emotional for us!!, we even asked the midwife to do it again so we could record it on our mobile so we can hear it again and show it to my son so he can hear his sisters heart beat too!!
I am now 40 weeks and one day over due and its my 3rd child and my oh's 3 rd child but our first if its makes sense!!
I wish u all the best hunni and make the most of it!!!
Good luck

Good luck for your forthcoming labour - not long to go for you! Any signs of things starting yet?
All the best. I look forward to hearing your birth story!

Oh I couldn't tell you whether the heartbeat sounded like a train or galloping horses. Will listen with that thought in mind next time, westbrom1! xxxx

By the way, do you have to use a special gel? xxxx
Good luck with the doppler Serena, let us know how you get on xx
Tried using my home doppler again last night and still couldn't find the heartbeat! Either it's faulty or it's just too early to tell using the one I've got. Never mind!
How are you? I hope you're OK? xxxx
good luck with the rest of your pregnancy
Make sure the battery is ok - I was trying with mine and then changed the battery and could hear straight away. I could hear my lo's hb from 9 weeks!
I've got an Angelsounds off ebay - make sure you always use gel (or I've heard others using baby/olive oil etc).
I wouldn't be without mine - especially before I could feel the kicks.
The other thing to remember is that before 16 weeks baby is still in pelvis, so I had to tip my Angelsounds downwards to get hb.
Good luck!

good luck again
