Fetal Doppler, cant find heart beat :(((((

Idk if im freaking out for nothing but I havent help my boy move for awhile so I decided to use the fetal doppler and I couldn't find his heartbeat.
Usually he's very active and I can hear at least SOMETHING like his heart or some kicks but I didnt hear anything.
I tried laying down flat and then on both sides and even on all fours and I still could not hear anything.
im sort of freaking out.

This might make you feel better: I'm 37 weeks and baby was estimated 7lbs today at my ultrasound. Last week at 36 weeks the doctor had a hard time time finding the heartbeat at first. That's an almost full term baby and a doctor! So don't freak too soon if you can't find it yourself so early along. Do call the doctor though, they'll bring you in and get you checked. I hope everything's OK. <3

Those are not as accurate as a doctors doppler. Also, they have training and experience to find the heartbeat. Those can pick up any activity in your stomach. Don't worry. I don't recommend using those. If you're worried go in, but I'm sure baby is just fine.

Im sure everything is fine. Alot of babies hate dopplers because they can be loud for their ears. I have one and some days ill find it in seconds and some days it take patience and time. Walk around for 5 minutes and try it again. If you are absolutely worried out of your mind yhan call the OB-GYN to check on baby. Hope everything is ok

Grow up you should have kept your legs closed if your that immature you have no business raising your baby to be a colhearted brat like you. You are probably the same girl who's account hot deleted from posting pointless stuff on her last post like making fun of her last name. You are becoming a mother yet you act like a middle school bully. Grow up

I first used mines at 13 weeks I believe and found it pretty fast. I use it now about once a week.

I have one that I bought from China n find mines faster then my midwife does but they say don't get alarmed if you can't find it. Put a flashlight on your tummy, eat something spicy, put music on your tummy, & even shake your belly a lil

Baby is still tiny and could be hiding. Drink ice water or something sugary and lay on your left side or back. If still nothing and you're worried call your Dr.
