Well you are already being naughty. I've been trying to listen to your heartbeat for the past 2 weeks and I can't find it. Technically, your not supposed to hear it until 12 weeks, but both Dorothy and Andrea (two girls I work with who are also pregnant) heard their babies at 10 weeks. I'm 11 weeks and 4 days and I can't hear it. I have my 12 week appointment this week and I vowed to myself that I would not try to hear before then. I just get frustrated and scared. If they can't find it at my appointment though, I'm going to have to make them do an ultrasound because I'll just be too scared. I just need some sign that you're doing ok in there.
