Yes: Your doc will also measure the length of the baby's femur (bone from hip to knee), also the bipariatal diameter (across head from ear to ear). Will also check spinal cord and heart. Plot on charts for intrauterine growth. Good luck and congrats!

Im almost 14 weeks with twins and bought a home doppler. Its become so easy to find babies heart beats. Lately Ive been listening to them for about a minute or 2 everyday to help with my horrible anxiety. Can this harm them in anyway or is it safe?

I have been listening to my babys heart rate with a Doppler at home for weeks and it has sounded the same since the beginning, but this week it seems to switch rhythm multiple times, with the Doppler probe steady in the same spot it changes rhythm?
