Babys heartbeat!!!

Doppler arrived this morning so before I got out of bed (went back after postman knocked the door) I had a quick go, was getting wierd noises, my heart beat, the placenta and then briefly found the baby for a few minutes, think baby didnt like being squashed though as a few seconds later he had moved out of the way and was hiding lol.
Couldnt believe how hard I needed to press, it was almost painful.

Last night I used the doppler again as I wanted to record a sound clip of the heartbeat, afterwards while listening to it I decided to try and count the heart rate, although this was difficult as I kept losing it after a few seconds, but in the space of 5 secs I think it was around 11 beats which results in a rate of about 132per minute.
Is this low? I was expecting it to be around 150-160
Or is it because I was relaxed and just getting into bed?
