Doppler Question

0400772 · Oct 19th, 2010, 04:05 AM

Good morning ladies

I finally recieved my doppler and i tried in vain to find a heartbeat. It took about 10 mins!! Eventually i found it but after i let oh hear i laughed and lost it!

I am positive i can hear it extremely faint, could it be that buba has moved and has bum facing my belly (head into spine?)

I keep hearing like a swooshing sound, (hard ot explain, but sounds like what it would when your under water moving?)

The doppler works as i can hear my own heartbeat and OH!

Any ideas? Im 14+5 so should be far enough along?

It is dependant on what doppler you have. Some work from 10-12 weeks onwards, others from 16 weeks and then some from 20+ weeks.

The swooshing sounds like the blood flow through the placenta or perhaps your own arteries. Babys heartbeat should sound like a train thudding by, or a horse galloping. As stomp said, it would sound like a very fast heartbeat almost twice as fast as your own.

That happened to me before, i was struggling to find it a bit then hubby made me laugh and I lost it.

I am sure I can hear bubba moving about as it sounds like something moving in water. It is very possible that baby has moved a bit and that's why you can't find it, they are good at hiding!!
Try not to stress yourself out. Easier said than done I know but it won't do you any good. Just chill leave it and try again this evening.

As the others have said, it will sound very fast like a train or horse galloping and i too now often hear it mixed with the water sound.

What doppler do you have? I have an agelsounds and that picks up from 12 weeks....Keep at it - you will find it. As long as it sounds like a galloping horse or train then you've found it. xx

I found this site and it shows you what all the sounds are so you can understand them more. http://www.fetaldopplerfacts.org/fac...ler-sounds.php might be helpful to you

Baby will move a lot, sometimes you will be lucky to find it and others you may only hear baby banging about! x
