Well I had my 1st visit and im supposably @ 12 weeks, but i had the rudest doctor ever first she told me off by saying that i didnt look prego. and that i have a tilted uterus. she went in and did her check up and said most preg women have it but with the doppler she couldnt hear anything and that she wasnt sure if i was preg. i told her i have missed 2 months worth of periods...im stressed but just dont like her..i dont think im off but we will see coming up. i switched doctors as soon as i got out of there and see if i can get a U/S done..idk its all so stressfull..=/
With a tilted uterus it is very possible to not be able to find the little one's heartbeat this early on. I know you found it at 9 weeks, but the tilt makes it a little more difficult! Rest easy, the baby is probably perfectly content!!!
Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. Usually you have to be over 12wks for one to show a heartbeat. I'm 12wks today and my dr told me at my appt its still too soon to use the doppler.
Did she try to find the heartbeat by doppler or by u/s? A doppler wouldn't pick up a heartbeat this early, only u/s would.
