Doppler - no heartbeat

[worldofwisdom]

I saw the midwife today and she used the Doppler on me. She couldn't find a heartbeat. She thought she did and she said the numbers were showing, then showed me. I'm 10 weeks. Should I be worried?
My first ultrasound is on the 15th.

Wow. Some babies like to hide hey. lol

Yeah they tried to hear mine at 13 weeks and couldn't find it. I was concerned too and my doctor kind of giggled and said its nothing to be worried about, so she went and got the u/s just in case and my baby was kickin around :)

Don't worry it could be a misunderstanding . I went in for my 17 week check up & she couldn't find the baby's heart beat . After about ten mins of looking she realized the baby was way up . She said I was measuring 7 weeks more then what I am .

Thanks ladies. I just want my first ultrasound already. I want it to kick in, that I am going to be a mum. :)

They couldn't find the hb at my first appt either and I was 10 weeks,I wouldn't worry though  I didn't hear the heartbeat for the first time until 12 weeks I'm sure your baby is perfectly fine !!

at my first appt, they didn't find Khyllie's heartbeat either with just the doppler. then they brought in the u/s machine just to be sure(:

Heck, I'm 26+4 & they still have trouble getting my little ones HB everytime. We can see him moving but he will not sit still long enough to get a reading. She's like "I know your in there little one. I see you." lol

I wouldnt worry. It should show up better on the sono. They used to always loose my babies heartbeat and find it later even when I was farther along lol they would give me all kid of funny looks and find it later. Dont stress yourself out.

Thank you. Makes me feel better now. Could be a week off, but I highly doubt it. I just can't wait for my first scan already... :)

I couldn't hear mine at the first visit either. I had to wait until 14 weeks. There are many reasons you wouldn't hear it at 10 weeks. Baby in a bad position, dates are off, extra tummy fat, & many other things.
