-Doppler


This is a doptone.  Using ultrasound, it detects fetal heart tones.  I use it many many times at every birth I attend.  I've heard countless little beats from soon-to-be-born babies using this doppler.


First heartbeat



And this is me-- today.  Hearing MY OWN baby's heartbeat for the first time. 170 beats strong. Yep, that's right...SURPRISE!  Baby #4 is due in late April.  Nothing compares to hearing that little heart fluttering away. A sweet sweet sound.
