Doppler question...

So I have been using my Sonoline B for a while now. My RE's sonographer rolled her eyes at me mentioning it calling it just an over priced electronic stethoscope (well yea it is but still) with my experience using a stethoscope almost daily for my job (LPN at a peds office) and my ability of differentiating different body noises I kinda of had a personal lightbulb happen (if this is a well duh just blame it on the twinks). I know you hear fetal heart tones as well as maternal tones and placental noise as well. My question is have any of you been able to figure out the sound of movement with your Doppler? At almost 17 weeks I still haven't felt regular movements but tonight I was listening and along with the normal noises I was picking up lots of thumps and bumps and other "odd" noises all while keeping the probe still, I would also almost immediately "loose" the heartbeat after these noises. Am I really hearing "movement" of the babies or am I just over thinking this and being a complete goob?

When I heard movement it was like a screech or static while holding the probe still.

*rolls eyes at your sonographer* I loved my doppler!

Yes, we could hear movement when they would turn or flip away from the doppler. Sometimes it coincided with kicks (when they got stronger).
