Could a tilted uterus affect the bpm picked up on an abdominal ultrasound during pregnancy? does an abdominal ultrasound have the ability to pick up my heartbeat instead of the baby's?

Q: could a tilted uterus affect the bpm picked up on an abdominal ultrasound during pregnancy? does an abdominal ultrasound have the ability to pick up my heartbeat instead of the baby's?

: Yes, on both questions, time of the pregnancy also plays a role in picking up baby versus mother's heart beat. Usually ultrasound is viewing the baby, and seeing the heart beat. Doppler stethoscopes listen without viewing the actual heartbeat motion.
