You have to be around 10 weeks+ to hear the heartbeat with a doppler. Even then it’s hard to find sometimes. My doctor didn’t even try to find my baby’s until I was 13 weeks. I would not worry at all. You will probably see and hear it on the ultrasound. Of course, you have to be about 6 weeks or more for that even.

In early stages of pregnancy usually can’t pick up the hb. don’t worry, i’ve had 3 and wasn’t till later that it picked up.

it’s probably very early in your pregnancy so don’t worry talk to your doctor for another check in a few weeks once you know hwo far ahead you are, you can also ask a doctor online for free and find others with similar situations, try this website, FertilityTies
good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

you could be to early to find a heart beat and yes because you are bigger then it will effect the detection also were the baby is laying it can effect it. your baby should be fine

My doctor didnt even try to find it on the doppler until 12 weeks, he said it would have been pointless before then. Best of luck to you, try not to stress yourself out too much about it, it’s not good for you or the baby.

You can’t usually get a heartbeat on Doppler until atleast 12 wks sometimes later. The ultrasound will show a heartbeat if you are atleast 7 wks. If you are to early into the pregnancy you won’t see anything on ultrasound and there will be no heartbeat to be heard.
