... for what happened last night. I've been listening to the heartbeat on my doppler for a little over a week. I noticed that I kept hearing two different sounding heartbeats and figured one was the heartbeat and one was the echo. Anyway, because of this, I always try to find both sounds. So, last night, I found the one I thought was the echo and kept looking for the other one. I finally found it and was enjoying listening to it when the "echo sound" came in and overlapped just at a slightly different rate and then it faded and went away again, leaving only the other heartbeat sound. I asked my husband what that could have been and he said, "well, it was probably just one baby moving close to the other baby." It's like he just already knows it's twins... he was speaking so matter of factly it almost made me laugh. anyway, I'm looking for another reasonable explanation. Anyone have one? TIA!

Could it have been your heartbeat? That can be heard through your belly also. At least mine could at my doctor visit.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It definitely was NOT my hb because the rate of one hb was in the 150's and the other was in the 160's. I've always been able to find both, but this was the first time I'd heard them together at the same time. I'd always just figured it was an echo or the baby moving around. I'd never heard them simultaneously before.
