So because of the scare we experienced when the midwife couldn't find the baby's heartbeat at the last appointment, Adam and I went ahead and rented a fetal doppler from this place (located in Surrey, BC).
It was gorgeous outside, so we made a day of it and spent some time walking the pier in White Rock and eating a lovely lunch on a patio.
After we got home, we pulled out the doppler and gave it a try. After digging around for a few minutes, and after finding my heartbeat several times, we found the baby's heartbeat!
It was much faster than my heartbeat and sounded absolutely amazing - very strong and clear :) We also heard the "wind through the trees" noise of the blood flowing through the placenta.
We don't plan on over using the doppler (even though we have the rental until July), but it's nice to have the option to listen to the baby for peace of mind!
We don't plan on ov
