Heartbeat!

Last night I decided to give my fetoscope another shot (haven't had luck before now hearing baby). One can typically hear the baby by 18-20 weeks with the fetoscope. Despite most Western docs depending on dopplers, the use of a fetoscope is still alive and well among midwives...and it's completely safe as of course there's no ultrasound exposure, like there is with a doppler!


To my utter delight, I got the heartbeat loud and clear! This morning I let the girls hear too...

I will be 18 weeks tomorrow...
