Placenta heard-good sign?

S • ‘16 MC, ‘17 boy, ‘20 boy
I'm only 8+3, just used my doppler and i believe i heard the placenta. I heard my heartbeat and this seemed to be the same rate but a lot more wooshy sounding rather than just thumping. 
Is hearing the placenta working a sign that the baby is still alive?
