Hi have just bought a bestman 500 which can be used from 10wks and I am 10+4. Now I KNOW the heartbeat can be hidden and I KNOW we may not pick it up till wk 12 but Id like to know where is the best position to pick the heartbeat up??

Apparently its lower than you`d think?? Is it the pubic bone or just below bellybutton?? Is it usually central?? Thank you in advance :)
 
As close to the pubic bone as possible. Don't be discouraged if you can't find it. My little guy stayed low and liked to hide until about 16 weeks. It would take the doctors forever to find his heartbeat.
Have fun with that doppler!
