Ok so about 2 weeks ago I went for a doctor appt. and heard baby heartbeat I was almost 12 weeks. Everything was fine. Well I have a doppler at home and I only have hear it very short but was fine now I can’t seem to find it. Im almost 13 weeks now. Is there a specific place I should be looking or position besides on back I should try?

Try raising your hips slightly on a pillow and put the doppler down very low along your bikini line.
you can keep looking its there but sometimes hard to find that early in
doppler at home isnt as good as the doctors u could lay on ur right side and see if u can hear it for longer..when i was pregnant i had one of those and i could put it on my back and hear my sons heartbeat…its hard to hear at 12 weeks because baby is moving alot it will be easier to hear later on theyu will be out of room..
It is still pretty early in your pregnancy, maybe you should look on line to see how they are done, or wait until your next appointment to see where your provider positions the doppler. Good Luck.
