slow heartbeat!! help :(

I have a fetal Doppler and the baby's heart rate was fast earlier, but when I checked it again it was slow, just a little faster then mine maybe. I'm quite worried. I'm 12 weeks tomorrow

If it's lower then 110 more than likely you caught your own heartbeat especially at 12 weeks its a little harder for you to find the baby's heartbeat because you don't know where it is. It's still small

That's why it's not always good to get a fetal Doppler cuz it can sometimes just get you more worried than anything. It could be nothing, i never got one I worried enough during my pregnancy I didn't want to have anything else to make me paranoid..

Yes . I checked my heart with the doppler and it was a deeper noise and slower. When I was looking for the baby's I found it in the right lower corner of the pelvic area. Is it possible to catch your own heart rate down there?
I'm so worried now :(

The heartrate should vary in a healthy baby.

Was it lower than 120?  

There's a chance that you could have picked up your own heartrate on the doppler,  not the baby's.
