11+4 Couldnt find heartbeat please help :(

Ok so i went to the doctor today to get some blood test results back and a letter for the hospital next week.. Then she told me hop up on the bed and she would let me hear the heartbeat, i was soo excited wasnt expecting it.. She used a doppler for 15mins and couldnt find anything and now im really scared.. I burst out crying and she told me dont worry just wait for my scan next thursday.. Im so upset i just wanna know if my babys ok this is what i was scared of.. Is it normal to not hear a heartbeat at 11 weeks? :( :( I read they get one at 6 so why didnt mine show :( i feel i cant wait a week to know im so scared :'(

When he used the doppler did he also have his fingers,in your vagina pushing on your uterus? I went to my appointment Tuesday, I was 9 weeks exactly. My Dr used the doppler and had two of his fingers inserted in my vagina pushing my uterus, he found the heartbeat within a minute said it was good and strong.

Hey, this message is a bit delayed, but try not to worry. I had a scan early on and saw the heartbeat, but when I was about 11 weeks I started to worry sonething was wrong, they used a doppler but couldn't find babies heartbeat, just mine. I had to then wait 9 days for a scan to check. When I got there everything was perfect. It may just be too early. I wish you the best ") oh and morning sickness and nausea are a good sign everything is okay. My midwife told me that all the time. Good luck. Keep us updated. X
