Can't find heartbeat at 14 weeks?

[kerrimckee]

Hi I'm 14 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my second baby and have a Doppler from my other pregnancy but I can't seem to find my baby's heartbeat I've tried for hours should I be worried?

Try going really low with the doppler. I was surprised how low it was when we did the doppler on me at that stage.

kerri,  has your doctor had any trouble finding the heartbeat,  or have you never heard this baby's heartbeat?

Hi,
Heart develops around 4-5 wks. Sounds have been heard on 6th and 8th week.
Most commonly it can be heard around 12-14th week.
Its still early and its not much to worry. Usually 3,5,7,9 are the months to be USGed or 4,6,8,9. Most likely cause my be  malposition of the fetus. Don't Worry.
All the very best for you.
Thank You
