Q: Those with a home fetal doppler..is this normal ??

I was wondering if any of you that have a fetal doppler have this problem 2... i can hear my babies heart beat but i cant get a number reading of how many beats per min as the baby keeps moving im 11 weeks and figured it would be easier not harder to get a reading :/ just happy to hear it but would be less nervous if I could get a reading tho

Yeah the baby has a lot of room to move around right now so You may want to try propping yourself up or laying on your side like armor said to try and get them in one spot that is harder for them to move from.

I try to really target in on the HB by angling it and if my HB is being a bully I will lay on my side and get the baby to move. I am also 11wks but I am not having problem getting a reading. I am pretty meticulous and I won't give up until it hits 160 or higher. I have a sonoline B. I wouldn't worry about it though as long as you hear it and you KNOW it's not yours :)

I just at 14 weeks and I get a heatbeat, but I hear more beats than the doppler is "reading". I used it the other night and the doppler was reading anywhere from 88 to 130 bpm (but I heard more), but at my ultrasound the next day the heartbeat was 160 bpm. I'm just happy to hear something, but I'm assuming it will be more accurate the further along we get. I hope that makes sense:-/ lol
