heart beat!

When I was 9 wks an 2 days my Dr did the doppler on my belly to hear it's heart beat but they said that my heart beat was to loud to hear my babys... has anyone experienced this? Should I be worried I'm 10 wks an a day an my next apt isn't until I'm almost 13 wks. I was thinking about buying a doppler to try an hear it I'm just worried should I be?

I'm seeing every baby is different!  My daughter I heard her at 8 wks which I'm noticing is kinda weird lol but I'm glad there's nothing to worry about seeing as everyone else heard there babys at a later time

My first appointment I was only 11 weeks and they couldn't hear it but I was given an ultrasound to make sure there's a little peanut there! I got to see the heart beat.
My last appointment I've had I was15 weeks and finally heard the heart beat. Now I'm 17 weeks

If at my next apt they still can't hear the heart beat I will ask for an ultrasound cause if at 13 wks they still can't hear it there's a problem

This happened to me last month I was 13weeks so my doctor did a quick ultrasound and it was because my baby wouldnt stay still and also the placenta was still in front of my baby. Dont worry its normal

At 12 weeks I had an appt and my little bean was hiding behind my pelvis. The doctor couldn't hear the heartbeat. Very well so she took me for a sonogram and my little bean was moving like crazy, happy as can be. Don't sweat it, as long as they can see that your baby is doing alright,  everything is fine :)

Hmm then i really do not know what to tell you, the app even says at 12 weeks is when you usually hear it but if you rather get a doppler to put yourself at ease go ahead and do it! It's best if you do that then stress yourself and the baby over it :)

With my first baby I heard her heart beat at 8 wks that's why I was really unsure when I left the dr.

They say you usually hear the heart beat at 12 weeks, at least that is when I heard my babies heartbeat for the ffirst time. I wouldn't be so worried if I was you, it's diff for everyone
