We went to the midwife last night for a checkup and to hear the baby's heartbeat. I have been able to feel the baby move for about 2 weeks now. She looked for the heartbeat very low down near my pubic bone and could not find anything after searching for about five minutes. I asked why I could feel the baby move higher and why I'm starting to show higher, is it my intestines, my bowels or ?? so she lubed up the Doppler again and tried just under my bellybutton. Sure enough we heard a very strong heart beat betweeen 140-150 bmp.

She told us that she thinks either I'm further along by a month or that we may be carrying multiples. I have never used fertility drugs and we got pregnant unintentionally on our first "not worrying about if we did get pregnant" month.

Could there be another cause of the baby being so high other than multiples? I'm so sure of my dates that I'd bet on them. Our midwife scheduled an ultrasound but we can't get in for two weeks and I'm a little stressed out not knowing what's going on.

Any help anyone can provide would be awesome.
