? for home doppler users

in 2nd Trimester

ok so this might be really dumb but im curious.

the last week or so since ive gotten my new doppler ive noticed that after i find where babys heartbeat is the strongest if i move to the opposite side of my belly there seems to be another hb?  baby is still staying aroun 140-150 and then im seeming to find a second hb around 120...??  i havent had an ultrasound but surely by 18 weeks i would know if it were twins right???

Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    the second HB is most likely your own. If you move it over the the exact spot on the right side you should get about the same reading.

    it could be yours (although 120 is a bit fast:) ) or it could be the placenta (and your doppler is missing some beats).  The placenta sounds more like wooshing than galloping if that helps...

    They do say you might be able to hear the heartbeat in mulitple locations...so I would imagine that is what is happening.  And since you are further away in one area, you aren't getting it as clearly (hence the slower numbers).

    I GET THAT!!!!  Except the 2nd one is always around 201.  Not sure what it is though.

    Mine is the same way.  I get a reading of 120 on my right & left side kinda low, about where my falopian tubes are (just using that as a ref. point) I know for sure we aren't having twins.  I've had 3 u/s.  Hope that helps.
