A few weeks ago I invested in a fetal heartrate doppler, similar to the kind doctors use but just not as expensive. Anyway, I have tried about a half dozen times to find the heartbeat but could only pick up mine. I didn't freak out as I promised myself I wouldn't. I'm still rather early and because I'm a little thicker in the belly than some I figured it might be harder.
Today I finally heard the baby's heartbeat! About 160 bpm! I was just about to give up for the time and then I heard the beautiful sound! It sounds nothing like mine...much faster, similar to the sound of a galloping horse.
I only listened for about 20 seconds. Something about hearing that sound made me not want to intrude for much longer!
Such an amazing experience!
