Re: Did anyone not hear the heartbeat by 12 weeks

I would demand a sono. if they didnt pick up the heart beat they should have done a sono. I heard mine at 12 weeks but she told me not to worry if we didnt hear it because they would just do the sono to make sure everything was okay. I am sure your baby is fine, but i would call tomorrow morning and insist they let you come back in.

They didn't even use a Doppler on me until my monthly appointment at 17 weeks. I could see it on the ultrasounds at 9 and 12 weeks, but didn't hear it at those times.

For my first we didn't hear at 10w, but did at 12. Could you be later than you thought?

I did not have the ultrasound yet. I was really stressed today from a problem with one of my kids. I hope everything is ok?



I wouldn't worry- it ALMOSt happened to me, but I MADE the Dr stand there for 25 minutes, they warned me it would be hard to find. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Did anyone not hear the heartbeat by 12 weeks

I just went yesterday fro the first time at 9 weeks and had an internal sono. I was able to see and hear the heart beat within 2 minutes.

If I were you I would specifically tell the doctor you want an internal sono. Good luck!Chat Icon

I'm surprised they didn't give you an ultrasound or send you to get one.



me too. I would ask...Do they have high res ultrasound there? I would call the Dr and if they don't you can go to a radiology place an dthey can do it for you there.

I agree with everyone else it is a bit early to rely on a doppler. Especially if the doctor didn't move it around. My baby hid in the very bottom right side until recently.

I don't think you can hear it with a doppler until 18-20 weeks...at least thats what my doctor told me. Thats why they do sonos and u/s to see it...

12 weeks seems early to use a doppler. My doctor first brought one out at about 16 weeks.

I know it's easier said than done but I wouldnt' worry about it. If you are stressing though, talk to your ob about getting a sonogram so you can see the heart flicker to ease your mind.

When I went at 10 weeks and change they couldn't find it yet, they had to do an ultra sound to find it.

I'm surprised they didn't do an ultra sound for peace of mind.



I was thinking the same thing Chat Icon



I am suprised to. When my dr coulnd't hear it on the doppler then sent me right in for an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok.
