So happy that you got to experience it, and very quickly too I might add. My doctor couldn't locate my LO heartbeat 3 weeks ago. I've bought a doppler and tried it twice but have put it away for now as I just get frustrated with it.  My next doctor appointment is on the 18th so I am waiting until then for the doctor to find the heartbeat and put my mind at ease |
