we always had the best luck way down low—but your baby is still tiny and very active, so it might take you a long time to find it. its worth it when you do though—what a great way to spend friday nite!! haha good luck and congratulations!

yes there is a certain place to look about 12 weeks your uterus is up to your pubic bone. So the babies heartbeat will be lower. Only thing i need to tell you (i have a doppler myself) dont overuse it. Once a week is how much you should be using it. It can aggitate the baby because of how loud it is. Not good to do it all the time. Its proven that the baby will move away from it because of the noise. Ultrasounds are safer than the dopplers. But hey you have one now enjoy it and remember the baby is close to your pubic bone so lower stomach is where you should start looking
