Fetal Doppler no good for me

Beer gut? No its a baby!! 12 weeks

So with having Chronic Hypertension I get seen by my OB doctor every 4-5 weeks. January 13th (14+4weeks )was my second appointment just to check on the babies heartbeat.
The doctor palpated my abdomen to find where my uterus was and said it was right on track to where it should be. She then tried to check the heart beat with the fetal doppler but couldn't find anything. I wasn't too worried since she'd already said my uterus was growing how it should be, she decided to get an ultrasound imagine so that she could see the heart and get the bpm that way. Sure enough she easily found it and it was going nice and strong at 150 bpm. She said the reason why she couldn't get the heartbeat by doppler was because the placenta was anterior (in the front).
On my way home I felt a flutter where I think my uterus was. I had read that the early feels of the baby moving can feel like when your eyelid twitches, and thats just what it felt like.
