Not normal : If it is really the baby's heartbeat, that would be too low. It is most likely your pulse you are hearing, but you should go in and have the baby monitored immediately to make sure.

Probably yours: This is probably your heart beat based on the rate. The baby's should be more like twice that. The Doppler, unless it is directed right , can quite easily pick up the mom's heart beat since it is much more prominent. Best wishes for you and the baby.
