I'm exactly 11weeks today. I heard my baby's heartbeat twice: 1) at 8w2d, heartbeat was 154 with ultrasound tech. 2) at 10w2d, during 1st prenatal appt with OB, heartbeat is 157. I'm scheduled for my NT scan on the 24th, which i'll be 12w2d. My next OB appt is on Oct.06.

So i decided to purchase at home fetal doppler. First time using it today. First attempt took 15 mins and only heard placenta whooshing sound. So I took a break. 2nd attempt, i heard the placenta sound, moved it around, saw the doppler registering 134-170 on the screen but couldnt hear the heartbeat (didnt put headphone in). Took a break. 3rd attempt was same thing..saw the doppler registering 134-170...but noticed that as I moved across to left side of my belly, the number jumped to 237. That caused me to instantly turn off my doppler and said "fuck it. Im done using it" since i instantly thought that i may have overused my doppler.

Maybe its still too early for me to use being at 11 weeks and weighin 166lbs (i'm 5ft tall). I knew better and shouldnt have got a doppler to begin with. Now I just caused myself unncessary stress despite hearing 2 confirmed heartbeats from my past appointments. Sigh...just venting out . Its my first pregnancy and my paranoia can often be too much :( .
