I've seen a lot of moms on here just starting their journeys and stressing out and worrying about things. I was the same way and best thing we ever did for my anxiety ( which I've suffered from for years and obviously stopped my meds when I got pregnant) was investing in an at home Doppler. You can get them for around $40 shipped and they are totally worth every penny. There are YouTube video tutorials on how to use them, but our dr gave us the best advice. Feel from the top of your uterus to the top of your public bone and baby most every time will be right in the middle!! We used it damn near every night until our first appt. and even now, when I don't feel him move over a significant amount of time I bust it out to hear that strong and steady heartbeat just trucking along!! I hope this helps some of you early first trimester mamas 😘😘

Www. Fetaldoppler.net is where we got ours. And if you do buy one, make sure you buy extra lube!!
