How do you know the baby's heartbeat? I have heard the heartbeat but have not been told how many beats per minute.

The nurse always checked the heartbeat at my doctor's appointment before the doctor actually came in. Every nurse that ever did it told us what the heartbeat was without having to ask.

I have never had the nurse check the heartbeat. I am going in for the ultrasound on Tuesday and will ask the doctor about the heartbeat. The nurses in my doctor's office always tell me my weight and blood pressure, which is all that they check.

Thats how mine does it. The nurse weighs me, sends me to pee in a cup, tests the pee, takes my BP, then listens to the baby's heartbeat. And then the dr comes in, asks me how I feel, if theres any questions, and thats it. (So far anyway)

We're with Kaiser Permanente, so we paid the $200 co-pay after we came home from the hospital.

I get to my appointment, go pee in a cup, wait in the waiting room, the nurse takes me back and weighs me and gets my bp, then the doc comes in and asks how I feel and if there's any questions, and then listens to the HB with doppler. I usually have to ask what my BP was, but I've never had to ask for the HR, they always tell me. The lowest mine has been is 145, the highest was 188. I'm pretty consistently in the 160's. My shortest appointment was literally 15 minutes from walking in to walking out. The only time I've really had any questions was this past appointment, and those questions were related to waterparks and how long I can travel for.

Wow! That is so cool Amy. Hopefully Gabe decides he wants to find out. Lorne told me that if I want to find out and he doesn't that he doesn't have any choice but to find out because it's up to me.  I have no clue if I would want to find out or not...
That's basically how it ended up with us. I really really REALLY did not want to find out. My hubby really did want to find out. But I think it came down to the fact that I actually felt a lot stronger about it, and I'm the one carrying the kid.  So we didn't find...and hubby is totally fine with that now and is excited about the surprise, too.
Well, we're going up by my family for my baby shower this weekend. I am SO excited!!!

HomelessMentality has not logged in or posted since January, so we should take her off the list, I think.
Kelbel hasn't logged in since May 23rd. Are ya there, Kelbel?
HMB22 hasn't posted since February, but did log in a couple days ago. Are ya there, Heather?
The rest are newer, so I didn't look them up. I don't like when people get added to the list and then don't come back.

When I was at the doctor's today, there was a really young girl (13 or 14??) there for her first OB appointment. I really wanted to talk with her and her mom but there were a TON of people in the room and they were gone when I came out. She is 5 months along and her mom just found out last week. For a long time, I've felt a pull toward being a mentor for teen moms, and this girl just looked so hopeless. She's still very heavy on my heart. Would you guys please pray that I will run into her and/or her mom out and about in town and that God will guide me in how to share His love with them? Thanks.

Donna I used to find that annoying too when names would be there and you never heard from them again!
Wow, 13 or 14 is soooo young! I will pray for her and an opportunity where you or another Christian can speak into her life! Is there a programme at your church for teens that you could get involved in?

I hear you there, Donna. Been wondering about some of these ladies myself, but I just figured they hadn't been online recently...something. Oh and I will pray for you to be able to touch this young girl somehow. Wow...13/14 seems so young to be having a little one....(((praying)))

Wow, it looks like there are variations at doctors. I go in, get weighed and BP with nurse, pee in a cup, go to the individual room and only have contact with the doc after that. The doc does the baby's heartbeat, asks if I have any questions, etc. My doc is really good about explaining questions I do have and paying close attention to what I am asking. I am thankful for that. I do want to ask about the heartbeat next time though. I am so excited about the ultrasound on Tuesday. I hope the baby is going to cooperate.
Artemis - Like you, I am paying for my delivery and all of my OB appointments. At my first appointment the doctor's office got my insurance and sent me a letter stating how much I have to pay by my 32nd week, I believe. The total costs include the delivery costs of the doc. I believe I will get a bill from the hospital after the baby is born - same way with any others who bill in the hospital like the anestesiologist (sp?).
Donna - I am praying for that young lady and that God will work to help you know what to say to her.

If there is anyone who needs a contact, I'm home most days, and I don't mind receiving texts on my cell phone, just pm me and let me know!

Typically we post that the baby arrived, the gender, weight, height, and name. Some of the women let their contact know when they head to the hospital and updates throughout labor.
