I am pregnant with twins and my drs wont even use the handheld dopplar on me because they can't tell which heartbeat is which.

I havn't had any problems with mine except my little one like to run from it. Lol I have been tracking my little one since I was 8 weeks and I have only had problems twice, it was hiding behind a blood vessel and I could barly hear it! It does depend on your body size, I was slinder but since I have gotten pregnant I have lost a pound, but it looks like I have gained 10lbs and its not just in my stomache. Keep trying and if your not using lotion with the machine or ultrasound gel you wont be able to find anything. Just fyi. Good luck and congrats!

My dr.s office won't even try until 14 weeks.  Sometimes it's earlier, sometimes later, depending on position of baby, the placenta, and even weight of the mother.
