When I went in for my 11-week appointment last week the nurse couldn't find the baby's heartbeat with the doppler. She was looking too low, and I know this because I have a doppler and find the heartbeat with it up higher. Anyway, my midwife said that she either wants to hear the heartbeat or see it at this point so the next day I went in for an ultrasound. As soon as the ultrasound tech put the transducer on my belly we could see the baby moving and kicking! It was so great to see! And of course, he or she has a nice, strong heartbeat in the 160s. I was 11w0d and the baby measured 11w6d. So everything is looking great so far. We have our anomaly scan scheduled for June 24th in Iowa City and should be able to find out the gender of the baby then. I'll be 2 days shy of 19 weeks. So that appointment is only 6 weeks away! I'm 12w4d today and already closing in on the second trimester.
