Heartbeat

My hubby bought me a fetal doppler around week 10...the heartbeat was always your typical wooshing sound...now at 19w2d its more like an actual heartbeat...no mistaking its baby..too fast to be mine. Did anyone experience the new sound? Or did it stay like it had previously?

I've been hearing mine since week 10 ...I actually took it with me to the doctor to learn to use it properly.

They say the wooshing sound is nutrients flowing through the cord that baby heart beat sounds like a choo choo train or a horse galloping  :)

My midwife said it's often not possible to hear baby's heartbeat with a dopler pre 16 weeks. It's possible the first wooshing sound you heard was the placenta and the new sound is baby's heartbeat.
