Can anyone explain to me how to tell whether I am hearing my babies heartbeat or the placenta. I was googling and it said that if it is a whooshing noise it is likely to be the placenta not the baby but the placenta would be the speed of my pulse. But the noise I am hearing is whooshy but at around 165-175bpm I think from counting it myself (my doppler doesn't measure the heart rate itself). Does this mean I am hearing the baby or placenta?
I have a clip on youtube if you skip to 3:13-3:20 of this video you will hear the recording I made of what I heard.

Most defo babys heartbeat. you'll know when its the placenta because it doesn't have a duh-duh-duh more like whoosh whoosh like wind if that makes sense!
Next time you use it move the doppler around and you'll get used to all the different sounds in there (sometimes you can hear baby move!!)
