Hearing two fetal heartbeats…twins?

I have a heartbeatt doppler at home. I’m 16 weeks and noticed last night that i hear two different heartbeats. I’ve always heard mine and the baby’s. The baby’s which always sounds like a fast washing machine was registering at 162bpm…then about 3 inches over I heard another heartbeat that sounded like galloping horses and it registered at 152bpm. Tried it twice and heard them both again?!?! My maternal grandfather was a twin…am i going crazy or is there a possibility?

It is possible that its twins - or you have picked up the sound of the umbilical cord……ask your Dr
There is a possibility.
The next time you go to the doctor’s mention it to her/him.
There’s a possibility! Call your doc for another sono!!
Yes of course there is a possibility that you are expecting twins. They don’t necessarily need to be in the family to become pregnant with twins. Have you had your ultrasound scan yet? That will confirm for definate weather it’s twins or not
wow if its true then double congrats.. the only way to get you out of doubt is going to the doctor and see if its 2 babies
It could possibly be twins I have a set of twins and found out at a dr appointment when I was having my sono done. Have you been real sick? That was my problem I couldn’t eat anything and keep it down. Good Luck and keep us posted.
Could be possible, next time you go to the doc ask them to check an see if you can get a ultra sound..
Good Luck!
If you’re 16 weeks, it would be unlikely that they wouldn’t have discovered twins before now. Did you have an early ultrasound?
Sometimes you can hear an echo with dopplers. And it’s only going to give you one heart rate on the reading, and babies’ pulses vary, it could have easily gone from 160s to 150s.
Talk to your doctor, but don’t count on it being twins.
Woww It could defo be possible some times twins skip a generation or two but are common in familys, I want to know aswell now!
