First heartbeat...

The first time a mother listens to her child’s heartbeat becomes one of the first times she bonds with her unborn child. The Doppler pictured above is a tool that can be purchased online to check an unborn babies heartbeat. As an excited first time mother I bought this not knowing I would rely on it so much. It came to a point where using the Doppler wasn’t just to hear my sons heartbeat but to make sure he was alive. YES! Alive!​

The first time I used the Doppler for safety purposes was to check on my son. That was the day my now ex husband put me in a hall way in the winter while in a bra and underwear. At that point something told me to knock on the neighbors door. But I couldn’t face anyone in a bra and underwear while 6 months pregnant. He brought me back in and pushed me to the bathroom. When he pushed me into the bathroom I fell on my side. All I could think of was my baby is hurt. I immediately locked myself in the bedroom and took out the Doppler to make sure my baby was ok. I used to check on my son once a week because I was afraid of the radio frequency harming him. Now I was faced with his own father harming him.

When I purchased this item from Amazon I was beyond excited. I just never thought it would be utilized to make sure my baby was alive from the abuse that we endured during the pregnancy. If you or someone you know is being abused please reach out for help. My son and I are alive because at one point I said enough is enough. There is NO excuse for abuse.
