Can babies switch sides at 8+5?

Question

I heard the heartbeat for the first time at 8 weeks on the left side and it has been on that side until tonight where I heard that fast little heartbeat on the right

Answer

Yes! Mines slowly moving to my left side, I think just because they’re growing.

Answer

No. They are do not have that much room to move around with the sac and placenta attached to the uterine wall and the cord as short as it is right now. If you are using a doppler, that doesn't help you find where baby is. It bounces sound around the inside of your uterus and echoes it back to you wherever it is able. A fetoscope will help you pinpoint where baby's heartbeat can best be heard, but you won't be able to hear anything with one until closer to 15-20W

Answer

Yep; I’ve been finding the HB on mine since 7w6d and it’s switched spots all the time. This morning it look me FOREVER to find it and I was looking in the general area it’s always in. They have room to move and swim a little now
