thanks again everyone for their thoughts. thankyou too laura for all your info and links,
i have googled Pinard Stethoscope and will certainly keep in mind both my options, now that i hve two, i never even thought of a Stethoscope ! i'm still undecided, i certainly don't want to harm my baby, but to be reassured every now and then would be nice, at the moment i am going off how sore my boobs are, lol. if they're sore i am VERY happy if they are not i am a little worried ! lol
thanks again all !
