You uterus is still below your pelvic bone so chances of hearing anything until 12 weeks + (when it rises above your pelvic bone) are low.
Don't stress too much, even at 12 weeks they still have a tough time finding it!
I had a bleed at 12 weeks so they used a Doppler and it would only just pick it up then it would fade out. I'd say your are probably just a little hit too early for it to be able to pick up the heart beat yet. Try not to worry :))
You cant doppler heart tones at 9 weeks. Usually you need to be at least 12....and sometimes further along depending on your weight. I wouldn't even worry about that if i were you...im sure its fine.
Thru all my pregnancy dr never tried before 12 weeks to get the hb with the doppler
Oh, and im now 32 weeks with a healthy baby boy so, if I was you I wouldnt worry to much. Baby is still tiny, maybe a inch long so of course it will be super hard to find. Good luck(:
I got to hear my babys heartbeat a 9 weeks 6 days through a sonogram and then went to the doc at 14 weeks and they couldn't find the heartbeat. Talk about a scared momma! But I was tokd the dopplet they use in docs office isny as sensitive as the one on a sonogram so its normal not to hear it until later.
I didn't hear mine on a Doppler till 16 weeks. I think 9 is too early to hear anything. My dr tried to hear it at 11 and we didn't hear anything. It's all about where the baby is positioned. I wouldn't worry :)
