At my 14 week appt my doctor had a really hard time finding the heartbeat. The baby is so small at that time it has so much room and often moves away from the pressure of the doppler! At this point I would not worry! Around 16 weeks it is much easier to find the heartbeat.

Sometimes a doppler can't pick up the hb this early. I'm sure you're fine hun. Are you overweight or do you have extra weight on your tummy? Sometimes that can cause you not to hear it.
