baby's heartbeat

[Sarsoora]

Hi all
Am 14 weeks pregnant and I have a fetal doppler at home..I heard my babys heartbeat yesterday and the day before and it was regular and strong and about 150
Todau I tried to hear it again ..I could catch it for 3 seconds and I couldn't pick it up after ..I don't know why ..is that normal?  Could the baby change his position so I couldn't pick up the heartbeats for more than 3 sec then I lost it?

No worries. I have a home doppler and have the hardest time finding the heart beat. I'll catch it a few seconds then the baby moves. Even my doc has trouble. My baby just isn't in the mood to found. But everything is healthy. I'm 19 weeks tomorrow.

Ive seen several for sale on Craigslist, but I cant buy one. We will all be way too addicted to using it!

I got mine off eBay too n love it. I don't really use it count the heart beat but just to make sure its still there :)

I got mine from ebay too ..it was 56 $ and it came with gel ..I loved it ...at least I can make sure that the babys heartbeats r there so the baby is ok ..Hopefully

I bought mine on ebay and love it. I am pg with twins and while I do have trouble locating both all the time it really helps by worries in between drs appts

Not to scare you, but u should read up on some of the doctors opinions about the fetal dopplers, a lot of them don't like them bc the mothers are not seeking medical attention like they should bc they think they locate the heartbeat.. Good luck with baby!! God bless!!

You can get a version of the doppler at Walmart or babies r us. Hcg levels are a blood test  the dr runs.

How much are the Doppler and where can I get.one cheap?? Anyone know also how r people getting there hcg levels?

If baby is super active at the time, the heart rate will be higher. Nothing to worry over. :)

Thank you ladies ..
So i re tried today to hear it first thing in the morning , even before washing my face ...I could catch it easily buttttt it was super fast ..faster than it was before .  It freaked me out.  
I thought maybe that was just when I woke up !! Am really worried !!

Babies move and it can make it really hard to pick up the heartbeat. Especially in the early weeks.

Totally normal.  At my 16 wk at docs office. My baby had turned her back towards my spine and was low. It was almost impossible to get her hb on the doppler so we went into the us room really quick. Sure enough she was dancing away. Sometimes its just  tough to locate them.
