Doppler...BPM

[carly6]

I'm pretty sure i found the baby's heartbeat but when I count BPM there only seems to be about 70 per minute... am i doing something wrong or should I be worried?!

The babys hb should be between 130ish and 165ish but as it was so low it was probably yours x

Thats your heartbeat, you need to try a lot lower down with loads of gel..

thats is your heart through the pelvic arteries probably (its easier to find that than baby early on) baby will be 120-180 bpm and will sound like a sort of chugging noise. hope you find it soon try looking along your pubic bone or just above & angle the sensor in a bit xx

I've tried really low down and thats all I can find

you will hun, even if only for a split second and you have to start all over again! move it around reeaalllllyyy slowly!

baby may be lying against the back of your uterus, dont worry about it, im sure everything is fine. i cant hear my babs heartbeat yet, but thats because im packing a few extra pounds

ha ha... ok. I feel like i shouldnt be trying to find it everyday... it it bad to use the doppler every day?
