…and your doctor didn’t say anything about it? fire him/her and get one that TALKS!

if you were concerned…did you not ask then and there?!

*** to poster below me…that is not always true. i am 17 weeks and we have been able to pick up my babies heartbeat before Easter (they checked heartbeat w/doppler while i was in hospital w/the flu im a high risk pregnancy) and if you LOOK at this site it says that one can hear the heartbeat at 13 weeks.***

Your still to early to hear the heartbeat. Go back around 20 weeks.

I had and emergency doppler done at 16 weeks and it got really hard for the nurse to find the heartbeat, it took her arround 30 minutes to find it and when she did, it moved right away. She told me that it was due to the fact that the baby was so small and she moved arround a lot. They are more efective on pregnancies that are further along.

That’s ok. You could only be 11 weeks and you would not hear it then. That happened to me, and everything was fine. You’ll definately hear it next time.

Maybe the baby was turned funny or the device was malfunctioning. I know it is a scary thing when you do not hear a heart beat. Try to be positive and I am praying for you and your baby. God bless

my doctor couldn’t hear anything but static at my appointment yesterday, however, she went ahead and did an ultrasound just to make sure everything was ok. and it turned out the placenta was in a place in front of the baby, so it would have been difficult to hear the heartbeat.

probably you are having a similar circumstance.

My dr could not find my baby’s at 16 weeks. I have a very healthy baby girl now. Don’t worry, it is hard to find until later on.

Hello? You heard no hearbeat and what, you didn’t ASK THE DOCTOR? And the doctor offered nothing? And now, you come to Yahoo and ask a bunch of strangers about this? Every pregnancy is DIFFERENT! I suggest you consult with your DOCTOR!
