Doppler

Hi ladies

So I am 11 weeks and able to find baby pretty easily now with my doppler but I have a question. How much do they move at this time? I just found baby sort of below my belly button, maybe a bit to the left and then I lost it and a minute later I found baby over on the right side of my abdomen. I know it's the babys heartbeat because its super fast and sounds just like when I heard it at the doctors but I didn't know If it was able to move that far and fast this early on. What do you think?

I'm 10 weeks and the other day when I was listening to LO with my doppler I had to chase him/her around, kept moving on me. I could only get a hb for maybe 510 seconds before baby moved. I think it's normal. During my u/s yesterday baby was waving its arms and legs like crazy

Ok thanks!!! I was worried for a minute there that I wasn't really hearing the baby.

I've heard LOs heartbeat about 3 or 4 times with my doppler now and last night I found and lost it a couple times, only to find it again in a different spot. They move around in there quite a bit now. I remember my midwife chasing DD around my uterus with the doppler when I was about 12 weeks. She was getting a kick out of how much she was "swimming" around.

At my appointment the other day my mw could only get the hb for a few seconds at a time with the doppler. But at my u/s I saw how much baby was moving around so guessing that's why.
