Love, love, love my Doppler.
I heard the babies' heartbeats for the first time tonight! The most beautiful sound to a worrying expectant mom like me. We found a nice 170's heartbeat right away! It is hard to tell if we are hearing more than one or if we are picking up the one closest to the probe. The directions said even doctors don't do multiple heartbeats by Doppler often because it is hard to tell who is who! Later I called my mother-in-law in Texas and my mom to hear it too, and they loved it.
My hubby was so happy to hear them too, and may have muttered something like, "Now we won't need to get an ultrasound every five days..." It is so comforting to know I can check in on them whenever I feel anxious, and know that we can hear someone doing well inside.
I am taking a belly picture and posting later, I promise. It is shocking how quickly it has popped out! "When you are Expectting Twins, Triplets..." says that the triplet uterus is 10-12 weeks ahead. That is TRUE for me! I am fully in maternity clothes now, at 10 weeks! That is definitely 10 weeks sooner than it was with A. Seriously, folks, I am going to be a whale in a few months. Watch out!
I am very much on the fence about getting a doppler.
ReplyDeletePart of me thinks I shouldn't need it and should be willing to tolerate the uncertainty. My next u/s is in a month, with an OB appointment with doppler halfway.
Another part of me would really just like to have it.
Glad you're enjoying yours!
I am so jealous of your Doppler. How I would love to have a quick listen right now!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you're hearing the HBs.
Congratulations on your new toy. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you and your bambinos are doing well.
Also, thanks for writing about Barbara Luke's book - I just got it and so far it has been great.
Wish you could post the doppler sounds! So happy for you - what a clever idea.

That's so exciting - those dopplers are the best! They really do help you breathe a sign of relief every time you hear those sweet beats between dr visits!
ReplyDeleteDoppler details? We are considering one and would love to know all the specs.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for a belly pic!
How is the eating coming along?
I recently found your blog - I don't think I've ever commented. Just wanted to say Congratulations on your pregnancy! Triplets is just amazing :) I am excited to follow along with your story!
ReplyDeleteYeah for doppler and beautiful heartbeats!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting...and much needed peace of mind!! Can't wait to see the belly pics;) ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteYippee for peace of mind! If I ever make it past the 10 week mark I am strongly leaning toward getting a doppler. I know just being able to hear that little heartbeat would be so reassuring!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! My BabyBeat was worth THOUSANDS, I swear! Have you checked out my friend Joy's blog? She two had surprise triplets in November 07. She was tiny (as you appear to be) and was anything but a whale even when she was 30+weeks pregnant. www.larkinfamily-joy.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYay for a doppler! It is the ultimate tool for any mother who has had a previous loss. I can't wait for belly pictures!
ReplyDeleteHey honey!! I have a question for you since you had OHSS. My doctor told me to call if I gained 4 pounds in 1 day. I have gained around 3.5 since yesterday morning and my heart is beating fast. YOu think I should call or wait?? ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteAshley- I would call. I just emailed you my two cents. :) Carrie
ReplyDeleteSounds like heaven! I am so jealous of your doppler!
ReplyDeleteI tell you - the best thing ever invented! So glad you love yours as much as I love mine! - Oh, and where'd you find the IVF onesie? Love it!
