Is it possible to 'hear' movement on a fetal doppler?

This evening I pulled out my doppler and found the hb within the first few minutes. I think baby has moved up about 2 inches since last weekend! I was listening to the hb, holding the wand steady, and heard several loud sounds a few seconds apart. The heartbeat would get a tad weak between sounds, like the source was moving. Could this be movement being picked up? Anyone else hear these sounds?

Yup. How far along are you? It's easier to hear moving than to feel it, but it's still hard to catch early on.

Yup! It makes almost like a whooshing sound!

11w6d. It's pretty cool that baby is moving all over in there!!

You probably did hear the moving then that's so exciting! When they start to kick really hard it'll sound like really loud popping and cracking.

I'm 13w and it's impossible for me to find the heartbeat but I hear her/him moving around swimming like freaking flipper

I've had to chase baby all around with my Doppler before, mostly at night than in the morning

Yes. At my last appointment they kept hearing baby move around but couldn't track the heart beat right away.
