I purchased a home fetal doppler machine last week and heard have been able to hear my baby from the first day I used it. I am currently 14 weeks. I always find it very low (right above my pubic hair) and it is always very fast. My question is, every time I listen to it, after a few seconds I hear this loud noise that repeats itself randomly. I’m not sure what it is. It is the same noise that the machine would make if I were flipping the receiver. It is very loud and hurts my ears! Is that the baby moving or could it be hiccups? This is my first baby and I haven’t felt it move yet so I don’t feel anything when I hear these noises. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong, I’m just curious if anyone else out there has experienced this. Thanks in advance!
