Heartbeat at 16 weeks still very low?

Question

I have a home doppler and listen to the baby’s heartbeat every few days. I have noticed the farther along I get the easier it is to find but it’s still very low. I find it every time around my c-section scar. Shouldn’t it be moving up the farther along I get? Is it normal to be this low still?

Answer

The baby’s heartbeat gets lower as you get farther along, but you might be hearing your heartbeat or the beat of the placenta which can be confused for the baby’s heartbeat.

Answer

My babes at 18 weeks is still way down by my pelvic bone. He settled on there and won't come out!

Answer

The uterus is in between the belly button and the pubic bone right now so its still very low.

Answer

To clarify - do you mean the location or the rate?
