after about 2 weeks of futile efforts with the stethescope mom brought from home,
I FINALLY HEARD THE HEARTBEAT TODAY!!
im going to be a crazy lunatic now that i know where and how to place it... i could only hear my own blood moving (very strange whooshing wheezing sound) in most places but especially on my left side... but fergenjaeg's heartbeat is a very clear pounding noise, very fast - and on the lower just right of center of my tummy. my pants waistband holds the steth in place (if i hold it, all i can hear are my finger joints cracking constantly! ew!).
i tried every square inch of my tummy and finally found it! YAY! and im sure by the time jj gets home he will have moved! :P
UPDATE: i found it again for jj!! it was much fainter this time, but he was able to hear both mine and fergenjaeg's at the same time! they are almost in synch, with his twice as fast as mine. sounds like background rhythm of a song!

How exciting!!!! I'm really impressed you were able to find it...like you, all I was ever able to hear(until near the very end) was my own body sounds. Good luck with finding it again:) Can't wait for Justin to get home and hear it too! What a relief too, to be able to hear his hb now whenever you want!
ReplyDeleteit drives me crazy tho when i cant find it... then i start poking him to make sure he's still moving. i foresee motherhood being very stressful!!
