Heard 2 heartbeats on my doppler!?

Yesterday I was listening to baby's heartbeat on my doppler and I could definitely hear what sounded like 2 heartbeats! I am rather confused! My 12week scan only showed one baby. The heartbeats were both too fast to be mine. My oh doubted it until I made him listen. If i pointed the doppler slightly to the left I could hear one and then to the right and i could hear another. If i held it in the middle i could hear both at the same time (slightly out of sinc). I was thinking perhaps i was hearing an echo? Has anyone else experienced this or has anyone else got an opinion of what it could be? x x :\?

    Hi jennie, it could be your placenta? Have u heard it at the midwife yet? Your placenta makes a swooshing sound, but can be confused as a heartbeat. As the heart gets stronger, u can definately tell which is which. Hope this helps! x

    Hi Jennie,
    As well as being part of the TTC gang, I am also a midwife, I reckon that you probably heard the placental blood flow. Was a bit more whooshy than galloping horse sounding?? What gestation are you? Bx

    Yeah the two definitely sounded different. I'm 18weeks at the mo. Thanks girls that makes more sense! x

    Hi I heard what I thought was two different but heartbeats but I think it was the placenta because it was like heartbeat but with a swooshing soun to it. I think this might of been what I was listening to for the first couple of times...Lisa xxx
