I know the feeling... but your early sometimes you don't get to hear it.... I'm 18 weeks and for the first time I herd the heart beat loud and clear last week... it happens... I would be more worried if you already herd it and u go and don't hear it... which happened to me on my 1st pregnancy which I had a stillborn... it's normal I would just relax and think positive
