I won't lie, I've been part of a ''Due in'' group since I was 4 weeks pregnant.
I saw a lot of posts of people finding their babies heart beats at 8 weeks - 10 weeks.
I have since left this said group, it became apparent my vast knowledge about pregnancy and birth was not appreciated by all. Especially those who were ill advising and scare-mongering others.
Anyway, I proceeded to set up my own Due in 2014 group and Jelly Bean has it's own group for only my closest network of friends.
With 3 only okay-ish dopplers I decided to treat myself to a new one (with a more sensitive probe, only slightly) and I have been checking weekly from about 8 weeks for the heart beat, especially since the ultrasound picked it up lol.
Anyway, yesterday - 1st December morning, I found it!
I found it for only 5 seconds before the obviously awake and very active bean inside me shot off.
I listened in last night to see if I could send the Daddy an audio clip, bean was so active I was being kicked left, right and center!
Obviously, I am still way too early on to feel any movement but you physically hear it via the doppler, amazing!
Anyway, Monday morning, a school morning - no time for this!
However, this evening the boys have finally gone down to sleep.
I listened in, and within 5 minutes I found the bean!
Bean must be asleep because I was able to listen for about 5 minutes in total, he he.
Although I have posh dopplers with the BPM readout, the heart beat is still very weak to be picked up to trigger this reading, however - it did flash up this evening.
Based on the old wives tale (which was correct for both my twins), and the gender prediction I have already done, I am 99.9% sure I know the gender now.
Will find out after Christmas of course. Daddy doesn't want to know so it'll have to be a hush hush secret, which is no biggy because I am not telling the majority of you anyway, pahaha!
For those in the Jelly Beans group on FB, the video of the heartbeat is already up. Enjoy!
