The nurses and MAs at my OBs office are incompetent or something. I am 34w5d and I go in for my appointment today. First a newer nurse (so I understand with her), couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler. She was trying to be so gentle, it was almost refreshing. She goes and gets another nurse and I feel like she is STABBING me with the doppler in all the wrong places. She couldn't find it either, and says when in doubt go lower and starts stabbing me so low it was so uncomfortable. As I am whining and saying ow, she is saying her is sorry but still stabbing me. Now I know everything is okay as the baby had just been moving around, but this could have seriously made me worry.

A few mins later the OB comes in and within seconds find the heartbeat by putting the doppler in and around my bellybutton (I am too fat for my bellybutton to pop out). I am still sore 12 hours later from the second nurse.
