28 September - i fetch my doppler today

28 September Sunday

Symptoms: food aversions, no cramping today (rather relived!), nausea in the afternoon.

Today was a relaxing Sunday (not for my mind of course), I still have all these thoughts racing through my head!!

I fetched my fetal Doppler today; I ordered one after my miscarriage off ebay.
This thing has come a long way.

It came from the US, journeyed to the UK and landed here in South Africa with a friend’s mother.

When I fetched it she says to me,
“Are you trying to get pregnant”
I didn’t want to give away our secret so I just said, “yes we are.”
“Well,” she replies “I have some advice for you, try doing it doggy style”
WHAT? YOU SAYING THIS TO ME?? – I’m thinking
“Then when he’s done tell him to go get you a glass of wine while you stay in that position for at least 15mins, your husband can sit and talk to you. It worked for me.”
“thanx, we will try that.” I’m laughing now… rather loudly and she joins in.
We say goodbye and I get in the car.

I was shocked.

So my Hi Bebe T200 Fetal Doppler is now at home. Safe.

I hope I get to use it; this could put my mind at peace.

It might be a bit early for the doppler to work, so please don't get worked up if you can't hear the baby. I was ten weeks pregnant with my Dinky before the hospital could pin down a heartbeat.
