Worried about 37 week appointment

Emily

It took my doctor a minute to find my baby’s heartbeat today and it really freaked me out. This is first time he had any trouble finding it. It was way on the side for some reason. I wish I would’ve asked more questions about it because now I can’t stop worrying. I just thought heartbeats could be detected easily from anywhere on your belly at point. Anyone else had this happen around this time?
