I work in a clinic and was super sneaky today. I have my 1st appointment with midwife next week but I turned a corner a couple of weeks ago with pregnancy symptoms and have been feeling great. In my mindset of previous loss and IF I surely thought something must be wrong and it's been killing me waiting for that appointment.
So I took it upon myself to discreetly borrow the doppler in clinic. I went into a room by myself and gooped my lower pelvis up with gel and probed around. I didn't even know if I was doing it right but then I heard it! The heartbeat was SO strong and so fast I couldn't even count it! I am so relieved and thrilled and can finally start to embrace this as a healthy, viable pregnancy and it feels amazing!
