what does it mean when the doctor hears an echo while externally monitoring the fetal heartrate?

Went to my OBs office for my appointment. I'm at 27 weeks and the midwife was using the external monitor to listen to the baby's heartbeat and she was having a hard time finding a spot that was steady because the baby was moving like crazy. She said she kept getting an echo. I go in for my ultrasound tomorrow and because of having to reschedule a few times this will be my first one. I'm just wondering if it's possible that I'm carrying twins and that the echo she was hearing was a second heartbeat. I have felt a lot of movement with this pregnancy, more so than with my entire pregnancy with my first child.


Answer
Your midwife should have detected 2 seperate heartbeats if you were carrying twins. Some fetuses are just alot more active than others. My son was active so much I thought I was carrying twins as well, but it's normal. The echo is a sound in the uterus (hard to tell what sound exactly it was), perfectly normal. See what the ultrasound technician tells you and go from there. Good luck.

Ever get creepy interference on your baby monitor?

Parents, have you ever picked up creepy or odd interference on your baby monitor? I live in a very populated area and I have picked up odd interference a few times.


Answer
oh yes! A number of times.

But the weirdest one was when my oldest was young.

My husband & I were getting ready for bed one night & I turned on the monitor. He was brushing his teeth & the second I turned it on I heard a man talking. It was so clear too. He was talking to a woman. We could hear both sides of the conversation. My husband thinks it them talking on a phone, not in the same house. So he thinks we picked up their cordless phone. This in 1997 or so.

I called my husband & he came in. The couple was talking about going somewhere & a hotel. I then recognized the voice. It was one of our neighbors! But he wasn't talking to his wife!!! He actually said the womans name a few times. Plus I knew my neighbors wives voice.

We actually listened for awhile. lol I know it was wrong but it was clear he was flirting with her & you bet she was flirting back. They talked about a buisness trip and meeting up at a hotel. No clear sayings of cheating but for sure flirting. He'd tell her what to wear and mentioned perfume. My husband & I then turned it off.

I could never look at him the same after that. My husband & I never said anything to the wife either. We were not 100% sure. But a month or so later they divorced & sold their home. We actually told our other neighbors then what we had heard. They had seen signs of cheating too.

What creeped me out was . . . could they have ever heard us? Plus for just that second hearing a mans voice coming from what I thought was my daughters room really scared me.

We have some cordless head phones. They at least 8-10yrs old. But we often pick up CBs from what seems like Truckers on near by highways.
