Yesterday afternoon I listened to baby's hb as I do now and then. I kept hearing baby's hb but it was erratic and irregular. The beat wasn't rythmic and sounded as if it was skipping beats, etc.. I was listening and my oldest Morgan came in and she commented that the baby's heartbeat sounded strange. Then my oldest boys begin to listen and they picked up on it too. So then I called my friend in WY who is flying out for my birth and had her listen and she also thought the heartbeat sounded strange and off. So I decided after praying and thinking on it a bit to go in and get baby checked. I figured it was better than worrying about it. With RuthAnne having a heart defect I needed to put my mind at rest.
I called my dh and he came home and we went to the hospital. I explained what I was hearing on the doppler and they put me on the monitors and did a nonstress test. Baby beans hb was great and the nonstress test came out really well also. He is fine!
I also had a few really strong braxton hicks ctx that the monitor picked up and his hb did fine through them.
So the conclusion to all of this is that the doppler is wacky. I believe its picking up my heartbeat and placental sounds etc and it sure does make baby's heartbeat sound weird. Next time I plan to get the better one even if I have to pay a bit more each month.
I do feel better and dont have to worry which I dont want to do so close to due day.
Dumb dumb dumb thing!!

I was losing mucous plug in small bits and pieces starting about last Thursday. Then I lost a bigger glob on early Sunday morning. Then today I noticed much more cervical fluid and suspected it was mucous plug. Tonight I lost another big glob. Not sure what to think as I have only ever lost my mucous plug where I actually saw it with my first. This is my 10th. 
Should be soon! I am praying.
