Heartbeat...

I had a swollen foot at the weekend - just one very swollen foot at the weekend.  It was the ugliest thing I've ever seen on me... (apart from that bob I went for 15 years ago that looked like I'd had a bowl cut - shudder)

Of course this is a sign of pre-eclampsia.  Which is a scary disease and needs immediate treatment.  So I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon and he said I was fine.  He had a feel, tested my pee, weighed me and had a look at my foot (which had shrunk to almost regular sized by then).

The he said we'll just listen to the baby's heartbeat! 

And he pulled out the doppler and there it was... Bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp! 

142 of them a minute... 

How cool!
