Doppler at Dr's office question

in Pregnant after a Loss

So today at my appt they did a quick doppler. I know my doppler spot and can always get the hb. When the girl checked it she was a good three inches up from where I normally check and got it nice and strong, but at a rate of 143, when I usually get 148-152.

Is it normal to be able to get it in two such varying spots like that? I was a little shocked she heared it so high up.

TIA!

    The heart beat fluctuates quite a bit, at least it does/did for me with both pregnancies. I've had the dr get 145 and next time 160 so I wouldn't worry at all about that (my dr isn't worried). As far as the positioning, my little peanut squirms around so much that it is never quite in the same spot, as soon as the dr starts using the doppler he/she squirms away. :)
