I never had a doppler, but at 32 weeks, I started doing NST’s twice a week. The doctor told me that the fluctuation in the babies heart rate was a sign of a healthy placenta and that it’s doing it’s job so sounds like things are just fine for you.

this is because the change in the heartbeat is when he/she is moving. is happened all the time when i went to my prenatal visits. when he/she kicks, moves, hiccups, anything the doppler stops for a minute then the heart rate picks back up

That is nothing to worry about, those home dopplers are not as good as the ones doctors use, so when the baby moves, it might sound like the heartrate dropped. I asked my OB the same question in my first pregnancy I have babycom doppler.
