I Heard the Heartbeat!!! Posted: 03-03-05 17:41pm
Today I went to the doctors and they
checked for a heartbeat. At first they
couldn't hear anything and so she made my
boyfriend leave the room and did an exam
(is what she called it). Basically she
had to push the uterus up in order to hear
the heartbeat. My boyfriend was pissed
because he wanted to hear the heartbeat
the first time, and they lady wouldn't
allow him in there since she had to do it
that way. I'm actually pissed too
because thsi is the second time she hasn't
let him in there. Anyways, I heard the
heartbeat!!! Lol

Congrats! It's awesome hearing the
heartbeat! I had my doctors appointment
yesterday and fortunately she found the
heartbeat as soon as the doppler touched
my belly hehe hopefully your boyfriend can
hear it next time!

Congrats!!! I had my 2nd apptmnt
yesterday and got to hear my baby's
heartbeat for the first time as well :d it
was really cool...Luckily my bf got to
stay in there w/ me...It took the dr
several seconds to locate it, but once she
did it was loud and clear...My bf was just
kept smiling the whole time. She said the
heartbeat was in the 160's and sounded
perfect...I can't wait til I get to have
my ultrasound...But that will be awhile.
How far along are u? I am 12 weeks.

Hey don't let them do that again! They
can't keep him out. Just put your foot
down and say "he stays!"

Ya I think thats dumb, its not like he
doesnt know whats down there. I would be
pissed too. When I first went to the
doctor they had to get mine like that too,
I was only 8 weeks I think, and she said I
had to be 10-12? But we heard it anyways.

Thats bullcrap, they shouldnt be ever
allowed to kick him out, you are allowed
anyone you like in there, unless there is
something very wrong where he could be in
the way. If they ever try to do that
again, say something, ask why he needs to
step outside, because you would feel more
comforted with him beside you extra...
Its very discrimitary, if it was me in
your siuation I would have asked why and
if they tried to tell me he couldnt be in
there I would demand he stay if they still
refused I would have asked to see someone
of higher authority... Its your
pregnancy, your privacy, its not up to
them...
Secondly that would be an awesome
experience, I really hope that he will be
there to hear it next time hun

I can't wait till I can hear the
heartbeat. I'm like 13 weeks along now.
Do you guys just go to your doctors to
hear it? Or is it at like an ultrasound
place?
