Okay so I just tried using a home baby monitor that allows u to listen to babys heartbeat & I couldnt find it.! Im so nervous now because I had no heartbeay, im 17 weeks. My boyfriend is telling me not to worry, it probably just doesnt work. Please tell me this has happend before or else I might just go to the er.!

Thank you ladies.! I just worry myself wayyyy to much. I wish I could just have my doc live with me and check the heartbeat like every second, lol. But no im not having any bleeding or cramping. I really do appreciate the reassurance thou. Thanks alot :)

the home monitors that are not clinical grade are notorious for not being able to pick up babies heart beat.  They aren't nearly sensitive enough.  They actually cause more stress than relief.
I honestly wouldn't worry.

Those don't work when you're that early, they say earliest about 25 weeks...even then my doc said don't use it cause if you can't hear it you'll panic, I know my son is fine by his constant kicking.

Your bf is probably right. I was given one of those with my first pregnancy, and it did not work for me either. All I could hear was this static crap so I inevitably threw it away. Its a nice thought, but not always a great buy. Especially if it is not one of the mega expensive ones like doctors themselves use.

Honey you need to understand that it's hard to find their heartbeats sometimes last week at my appointment at 36w5d the burse had a hard time finding her heartbeat. They move and they lay weird lol. Keep trying don't freak out. If you are having a terrible time and it's really worrying you go to the doc but I'm sure the baby is fine especially if you aren't having any cramping or bleeding or anything. Good luck!
