Question about baby heartbeat

Im 12wks and 2 days and at my appt today the Dr couldnt get a heartbeat from my baby. He wasnt concerned, said Im a little too early anyway so its hard to determine where the baby is exactly w/o a us. But at my 8 week us the tech got the heartbeat no problem. Though he said its because a us is more detailed than just the doppler. Im just curious if I should be paranoid or just trust what my Dr says?

Ok, thanks KTowne :) I have to admit my hopes were dashed because with my other three before I was usually able to hear a hb around this time. This one is an enigma lol

Not at all, it can take a while, it depends on placenta position, your weight and position of the baby, it's still early, mine wouldn't even do it til after 13 weeks.
