what the..?

in 2nd Trimester
So I was listening to my baby's heartbeat with my doppler tonight. My husband was sitting there with me and it was pretty loud and clear but I usually move it around just to see if I can get a slightly more clear sound. Sooo, I was moving it around and on the other side, I picked up what sounded like another very clear heartbeat. My question is.. is there anything else that could sound like another heartbeat but actually isn't? I don't have a clue because I've listened in that area before and I haven't ever heard what I heard today. And if it is in fact another baby, why have I only heard one heartbeat until now? I would love to have twins but I certainly don't want to get excited about it before I know anything for sure. Right now, I'm just sure that there's 1 baby in there! One that I was listening to was 135-140 bmp, the other was 155-157 bpm, according to the doppler reading.
I'm sorry for all the questions! I know you all aren't my doctor and you don't have the ability to figure this out, I mainly just want to know what else is around there that might sound like a heartbeat? 
I don't have my first ultrasound until 20 weeks on October 15. I might die from the wait!

    Might have picked up your own artery too, could be anything really.

    I heard the doppler at my doc appointment yesterday and before she found the baby she found my artery - it was loud!

    Ok :-) these make more sense than twins, to be honest! I listened again this morning and it was in exactly the same spot so I'm reasonably sure that's not a baby! This was a relief to my husband.. He was a little nervous about the prospect of twins.
    Thanks!

    It probably was your own heartbeat, or that your baby moved a bit which increased their heart rate and changed where you were able to find it.

    But hey! Tell the doctor anyway! Just to be sure... Every time that the doctor see me, he always said: still one baby! And I look at him with a weird face like HELLO! IF THERe's TWO, WE SHOULD KNOW, RIGHT??
