No you shouldn’t worry too much right now. Most dopplers do not pick up the heartbeat until after 10 weeks and it is usually closer to 12.

Nope, don’t be worried. The baby is so small at that point they don’t always hear it ..

the best way is to get a sonogram .. then it shows up on the screen. The baby is so transparent you can actually watch the beating heart.

I would say no. They are so small at that time and there could have been much going on. My first would ‘run away’ from the probe Cheers

No it’s still early and the baby could be in a position that it’s hearbeat is overwhelmed by your much louder one.

If you had to be worried then you bet the doctor would have been immediately on emergency mode. Lots of visits you can’t hear the heartbeat till the baby’s older.

No i wouldn’t worry at all. We tried to hear mine at 11 wks and didn’t. We finally heard it at week 15. Be patient, it will happen….

no not at all. Those dopplers generally dont work until about 10-12 weeks. maybe longer.

your doctor would not have let you leave if s/he thought there was something wrong. Dont worry. Good luck and congrats.
