Could this be my baby's heartbeat on doppler?

[kellze]

I hired a doppler to Tey and put my mind at rest. I have tried 3 times with no real success.. ..but
Mostly the bum on screen is between 60 and 90 which is mine and odd body noises but every now and then in roughly the same spot it jumps up to 131-136 bpm. Do you think this is possibly my baby?
I am almost 11 weeks so I know it will be difficult to find but it is possible right?

I really would have liked some thoughts on this. I've lost 2 babies this year and am terrified that at 11 weeks I will lose this one too.

Never mind. I will just carry on living in my own terror when all I wanted was some acknowledgement of hope.

Hi hon. I have a Doppler as well. I don't rely on the numbers on the screen. Most of the time when I pick up my baby's hb the numbers don't show up. When it's yours it's slower and even. The babies is so fast you can't count. Like a horses gallop is what it sounds like.

Thank you so much for replying. I am in such a state. I still can't find anything and I feel so alone right now

I don't have any experience using a Doppler.
I've been thinking of getting one but I've spoken to a few friends that had them me they said they could never find the heartbeat, one friend thought she found it, but the midwife said it was her bladder!
Maybe you should try not to use it! I know it's so scary, thinking it will happen again! Fingers crossed you get the happy and healthy pregnancy you deserve. Xxx

Kellze, next time you are trying lay down in a very quiet room, get comfy. Have you tried using baby oil or any other conductive gel along your pubic line. At 11 weeks baby is still really really low in your pelvis and lots of people search way too high in the tummy. Start from left and work along the pubic line very slowly inching your way across the pubic line and before moving along to next spot tilt the doppler in every direction before moving along. If you have the option of using earphones with your doppler this might also help. A swishing noise indicates your placenta but the galloping horse or train noise will indicate your baby. Also google it and you will hear other peoples recordings of their dopplers and know what your are listening for. Let me know how you get on....

Yes I found mine by watching YouTube so I know the sound. I'm 13+4 and I have found it every day since Saturday. However we first heard it around 10-11 weeks and couldn't find it consistently. So don't panic. Baby was still ok

I have been finding my baby's heartbeat since last Friday, i have been using headphones as I find that helps to block out any other noise and the majority of the times I've heard it hasn't displayed the numbers on the screen, I know it's the baby as it sounds very fast like a train.
I know how scared you must be feeling, I mc last year at 11 weeks and the worry has been dreadful. Do you have a scan booked for soon? I really hope all is ok for you
