11+4 Couldnt find heartbeat please help :(

Ok so i went to the doctor today to get some blood test results back and a letter for the hospital next week.. Then she told me hop up on the bed and she would let me hear the heartbeat, i was soo excited wasnt expecting it.. She used a doppler for 15mins and couldnt find anything and now im really scared.. I burst out crying and she told me dont worry just wait for my scan next thursday.. Im so upset i just wanna know if my babys ok this is what i was scared of.. Is it normal to not hear a heartbeat at 11 weeks? :( :( I read they get one at 6 so why didnt mine show :( i feel i cant wait a week to know im so scared :'(

They tried to find heartbeat when I was that far along, doctor got mad at nurse for trying bc its too early he said, but I'm now 28+2 weeks and baby is doing great! Try not to stress it was probably just too early :)

With my first I couldn't hear her heartbeat on the Doppler until 14 weeks. At 12w the same thing happened and they did an ultrasound. With my son I changed practices and my ob did an ultrasound every appt.

In some cases,  a technician can't find the heartbeat because the equipment is a little faulty or they're not good at it,  or the baby is in a weird position.  

I would call and ask for another heart beat check - Thursday is a LONG way away and it seems cruel to ask you to wait that long.

Do you "feel" pregnant?

I wouldn't worry just yet. 11 weeks is still very small and very hard to hear on a Doppler. Just wait for your scan, I'm sure everything is fine! Best of luck!
