38 weeks hard time finding heart beat

[Nikkib19]

Is it normal it took my ob awhile to find the heartbeat and when she found it it was 128??? She said it was normal I'm kinda worried??

Im 38+5 nd my lil diva always hiding nd slp when i go for my check up...so it takes about 10mins to find hers...nd they move my stomach to wake her nd get her moving by the time she decides to stp running her heart rate is 148-152 but i wouldn't worry about it...babies like hide nd seek with docs lol nd when the heart rate is low like that majority of the time they slp

My baby lays inside of me on his side so sometimes it's hard to get the heartbeat. Does that make sense? He isn't flat on his tummy or back so the Doppler barely reaches his chest..

My baby always moves away from the fetal dappled because he doesn't like the gel or something. It always takes them a minute or two to get a good reading of the heart beat

If the baby is very active they have a tougher time finding it, I always have trouble with this with my prenatal appointments, As for the heart beat I've heard anywhere from 120-180 is normal.
