Please help!! Doppler Question!!

[simi_27]

Hi everyone

I am 14 weeks pregnant. On 15th jan, I went for my dating scan. I supposed I would be 13 weeks 4 days pregnant (from my LMP) but ultrasound said i was 14 weeks 1 day.. which also move due due date 4 days ahead.

We saw heartbeat and baby and sonographer said everything looks fine.

But yestereday ie 17th,  I had my regular prenatal appointmnet with midwife. She tried to hear the baby's heartbeat with doppler but couldnt find it. She could hear the blood flow through placenta which she said was good and it might be early to detect the heartbeat by doppler or baby's position is not allowing it to be heard.

She reassured me that there shouldnt be anything wrong bcoz I just had an ultrasound 2 days back and everything was fine then.

I also didnt have any bleeding or cramping. my severe morning sickness is getting better..but it should anyway be getting better by now.

I am now worried. my next appt is not until 26th feb and i dont know what to do!

I wanted to ask you about your experiences with doppler.

Please help!!!!

Thanks!!

it's sometime hard for them to find the heartbeat using a doppler as they are still so low in the uterus, don't be worried it may be still too early for the doppler at least you got to hear it on the ultrasound, give it a few more weeks

Hi! I'll be honest...I had a sonogram 4 days before my OB appointment and everything looked great- heartbeat 189, etc. and then I went for my regular OB (I too was 13 weeks 4 days) and they couldn't find a heartbeat, told me not to worry that it was probably low and my uterus was tilted back and had a sonogram then and no heartbeat and we lost the baby.  However, there is a good chance that they just couldn't hear it.  I'm just telling you my experience as it can happen even if you had a sonogram 2 days earlier.  I just wanted to be completely honest with you.  I wish you the best of luck.

I remember being frustrated about not hearing the heart beat early in pregnancy.  2-26 seems like a long time away.  Why dont you give it about two weeks and then call and ask if you can come in just to hear the hearbeat.  My OB has an "open door" when it comes to going in at anytime to hear heart tones.
