are you sure its not your heartbeat you are hearing.. the dopplers that "we" can but are not that good LOL dont be discouraged, everything will be just fine, the doctor was surprised when he found mine at 10 weeks we had to play around with it for a while then finally found it ! DONT WORRY

The home dopplers don’t work as good as the doctor’s. Don’t worry too much.

that seems low, but dont panic because it is probably the doppler. i didnt even think those worked until further along. call you doctor though and tell her you are nervous and see if she can get you in.

I think your possibly going to do more harm worrying about it. Personally I d bin the Doppler and just wait until your midwife does it. Some times it is difficult for them to find a heart beat because of how baby is lying. Sleep and rest tonight and go and see them tomorrow xx

Wow I’m surprise that the doppler would work this early on in the pregnancy. The one my mother in law got us said on the manual that its best during 3rd trimester so we took it back.

I honestly think your baby is fine … especially no blood or spotting. Even for professional doppler that the doc uses sometimes they can’t find heart beat. And that’s a real EXPENSIVE ones.

Try to stay calm, if you really worry go into the doc.

I can almost guarantee you are hearing your heartbeat because that is the same as when I get my heart beat. I have a doppler monitor, that same one as at the doctors office.
YOu will find your heartbeat on the right or the left side. there are major arteries there.

Has your doctor been able to get a reading on their doppler yet? if not you may not be able to hear it for another week or so.
You need to make sure you are pushing the probe down by your pelvic area.

I would take it to your doc and have them show you how to use it so you don’t worry yourself.
The babies heartbeat sounds different, it’s ALOT faster.
