That's why dopplers aren't recommended to use until youre almost at the end of your second trimester going into the 3rd a lot of times you cant find it sooner and all it does is make you twice as worried lol thats why I didn't get one

Like everyone else has said, try not to worry!!! 10 weeks is the earliest they can possibly find the heartbeat, and its luck if they do. They found mine but at 12 and 16 weeks they could not, had to have an ultrasound to be sure. She was just in such an odd position, but everyhing was fine! Im sure you will be too!!!  :)

Don't be worried that's why the home dopplers shouldn't be used before 14/16 weeks as it is wayy to early for babies heartbeat to be heard.  I'm 24 weeks and just after 20 weeks baby's heartbeat become earlier to hear

The doctor couldn't even find a fetal heart beat with dipper on me until 15weeks. I always had to get vaginal ultrasound and see the heart flicker. I lost two before this preg. One at 5 wks and one at 10wks. Don't be worried, leave it in God's hands. He knows what is best for you even if u don't agree or understand at the moment. Relax and enjoy your vacation!

At 10 weeks it is VERY hard for most to find a heart beat at 10 weeks. The baby is still behind your pubic bone! I definitely would not worry!

Please don't worry.. I still can't find mine with the doppler and I'm 14 weeks but had a scan at 12 and half weeks and everything was fine.. I also tried to find it at 11 weeks and couldn't.. 10 weeks is very early to hear it.

Ten weeks can be hard to find it still, even for the doctor. Remember,  the baby is still very tiny! Maybe call your doctor and explain that you're freaking out.  I bet they'll have you come in just to put your mind at ease:) Praying all is well for you!  Keep us posted!

My ob couldnt get a fetal heartbeat with a doppler until i was almost 16 weeks with this pregnancy and my last. Those things are tricky. I own a sonoline b. they did an ultrasound at every appt to get the heartbeat. Ill pray for you but seriously worry will only hurt the baby.. relax and enjoy your trip :)

Oh no :(... well, my Dr. Had a hard time finding it when I went to see her and then she finally found it!
if I were you, I'd just go to check at ER or walk in at doctor's that way you can enjoy your trip :)

Don't be scared. The doctor couldn't find my babies heartbeat at 14 weeks with the Doppler. She sent me to the hospital for an ultrasound and there was baby kicking and clapping and so very happy. Try not to stress and i wish u the best.
