Worried for a friend..

A friend of mine is 12 weeks and at her appointment they couldn't hear the heart beat or anything... We saw outs at eight weeks and heard it loud and clear at almost 13 weeks. Why wouldn't you be able to hear the heart beat by then?

I Couldn't Hear My Baby At 13 Weeks. I'm Almost 30 Weeks And Everything Is Fine. They Ended Up Doing A Ultrasound And Seeing The Baby. My Doctor Said Its Ok If You Don't Hear It Right Away...

If it eas a vaginal ultrasound idk why you wouldn't be able to hear it. And maybe if she couldn't hear it they showed it to her. My obgyns one ultrasound machines sound is broke but they maake sure her hearts beating and I have a doppler I listen to it whenever I want to :) good luck to ur friend.

I am 15w today and haven't heard my baby's heartbeat on a doppler because my placenta is in the front.

She's not huge but a little bit bigger but would that effect a vaginal ultrasound? She didn't seem worried but that would worry me

If she is a thicker girl that could be it. For me my Dr gave me ultrasounds at 11 and 14 weeks to see heartbeat after it was just the dopler. Also unfortunately the baby could have passed or the person looking didn't know where to find it. They maybe be doing a follow up with lab work.
