A friend told me about a company where you can rent the doppler radios similar to the ones doctors use to listen to the baby's heartbeat. I went online to Stork Radio and rented one for 3 months. Because we only go to the doctor once a month, I worry about what's going on with the baby in between appointments. I assume he/she is growing because I'm getting bigger! But being able to hear the heartbeat whenever I want is so reassuring.
I anxiously awaited the arrival of the doppler all week and it finally arrived on Friday. As soon as we got home from work, we tried it out. They provide you with gel just like the doctor uses and all you do is hold the wand on your belly until you find the heartbeat. I remember where the doctor usually listened for it, so we tried that same spot. It worked!
Here is a video clip of the heartbeat. It's so neat! The heartbeat averages 150-160 beats per minute.
