Are you able to hear both heartbeats on Doppler? (Twin pregnancy)

Question

Hi ladies I'm 16 weeks 3 days pregnant with twins. I have a home Doppler but haven't used it just yet. Have any of you been able to hear both babies heart rate and of so any pointers? I know it all depends on how they are positioned   Thanks I wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy!!

Answer

Yes. I am currently 16w2d and twice we have found both A & B. They also haven't changed position much and I go to the doctors so we know exactly to go but I have heard people not being able to find until around 20 weeks

Answer

I started using mine at around 17 weeks and always find both heartbeats. Sometimes I get them right away, sometimes I have to look for a long time. Last night baby-boy moved from the place I could always find him and was very-very low, where I never even look! And baby-girl now likes to hide behind her placenta. If I didn't see my doctor finding her there, it would have scared me!
One thing to know - you won't always get a clear heartbeat, more of a whoosh-whoosh-whoosh sound. And sometimes you'll get it for a moment and then lose it. I am happy even with just a second of the sound - they are there and that what matters. I would drive myself crazy if I wanted to get the clear beats every time! 
Move the wand slowly to not miss anything, and get to know the difference between your pulse, and the babies. 
Now I can feel them kick and don't use the Doppler every day, but it's so reassuring!
