Baby ran (swam?) away from the doppler!

Kalyn

Today had a prenatal exam. I’m 16 + 2 today. Everything is measuring perfectly (praise God!)

But today, my avocado-sized baby was very uninterested in being disturbed - midwife felt around to check measurements, and then when she placed the doppler on the upper right side of where baby might be, heard the heartbeat very quickly, and then it vanished.

So she searched forever - only to find baby in the lowest left part that they could be in.

Heart rate was beautiful, and right where it’s should be.

My husband said we must be having a cat (we have 3 fur-sons)... 😂😂😂

Mine does the same thing on my Doppler. I’ll find the hb and have it for a few seconds and then the baby moves and I have to shift spots to find the hb again. 17w6d today.

My daughter hates....and I mean hates the Doppler. It always takes us longer to get an accurate reading at my appointments cause she runs away. The last, she gave to firm kicks to the Doppler and I’m like well doctor...she’s very active and she wants you to hurry up 😂😂😂.
