Hi,
Guys had my appoinment and everything went well except the doppler. He wasn't even going to try for the HB because he said he doesn't usually hear it until 14 weeks. but I asked him to try. he didn't find it, so I am trying not to worry. he didn't look very hard and when I heard Gabriel's HB at 12 weeks the Dr had to go right under the pelvic bone and he didn't go that low. so I think everything is still ok.
I asked for the requistion for the US to be in town so that we can find the sex. but he said they won't do it that way anymore but I could try. THe hospital here won't give the sex. so I am going to try and find out at the hospital in town. My next appointment is May 1/06. Should hear the HB then.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Krista,
I know how it feels not to be able to find the heart beat at an u/s even later than 11 weeks.
Krista....I was in about 16 weeks and the MA couldn't find the HB for the longest time (which my DH and I find it with our rented doppler from babybeats all the time)- - she was like jamming it in my tummy (no wonder that little bean was moving away from it- - it hurt!).
Hey Krista! Same thing had happened to me. The Dr. had even warned us at the time we may not hear the heartbeat using the doppler b/c it was too early. (I am glad he warned us) We had an u/s and our baby's heart was beating away.
Everything is just fine! Good luck with the hospital in your hometown!

I agree with the PP's.
Hey Krista, sorry you didn't get to hear the hb but it's great that you're having a good attitude about it. My dr wouldn't even try last week (10wks) because he said "If I know you at all you won't make it throught the night without having a nervous breakdown if I can't find it". LMAO! He knows me better than I thought!!! I guess that early on it's just so hit or miss. The babies are so small still.
So how come the hospital there won't give the sex? Is that how most of them are?
the main xray lab dr doesn't believe in telling the sex so they don't. Hopefully I can get into the Hospital in the city and they will tell me.
Glad to hear everything is well with you.

Krista,
My dr won't attempt to hear the HB with the doppler until at least 12 weeks and with me it's even later.
Krista, I had my 12 week appt. last week, and the doctor had a very hard time finding the HB.
