Heartbeat

So I heard my baby’s heartbeat on my home Doppler today. FINALLY! I’m 11 weeks 3 days. But my concern is that I heard it and it was fast (164 bpm), but I couldn’t hear it as loud as these videos on YouTube of other women with their dopplers at 9 or 10 weeks.

Could is be the position baby was in? Baby was def moving a lot. Could it be how I was holding the wand? Could it be that baby was further back in my uterus than I though.

I also couldn’t get it for more than 30 seconds because baby would move and the heartbeat would fade and I’d have to go searching for it. I found it clearly like maybe 3 times. Other than that it was a little hard to find.

Could is also be that I’m still early and baby is small??
