Well after reading a couple of posts saying how fast the babies heartbeat should be i thought id test it out with my doppler. It appears i have also been listening to mine! I can hear the swishing of placenta but the heartbeat is definately mine afterall. Im gutted. no idea where babies is!

Ive got my second midwife appointment wednesday so hopefully she will find it! :(

:hug: Oh Im sorry hun!! :hug: Im sure you will find it soon!!
 
i did that hun i wudnt worry just stick some more gel on and take your time !
 
I wouldnt worry if you cant find it and as you say ask the midwife....the placenta could be lying on the front or something getting in the way.....I've give up looking myself.....I got the midwife to check yesterday at my booking in appointment........she did find it but it was really faint.....probably be able to feel baby before finding heartbeat so then there wont be much point in trying anyway :)
 
I've found it! Its over 140BPM so definately babies. Doesnt sound like a train or a horse though! Just a very fast heartbeat!

They're usually quite low at 14 weeks, and mine made it difficult at times to find as they can move around all over the place!

Congrats on finding it though! Once you've found it a few times you'll recognise it so easily. I've never counted mine but i can tell if it's raised or not etc.
 
Have u tried listening just above ur public bone??

In the early days i had to listen there as time has gone on i can listen all over more or less...

Hope this helps?

Glad you found it Claire!! :hug: Babies get in such strange positions sometimes that bubs might just be in a funny position so don't panic, keep calm and keep trying :D xx
