so i went to my dr yesterday and he tried listen for a heartbeat and seemed optimistic that he would find one. however, the device did not pick one up. he said that it is probably because i am only 9 weeks but also seemed disappointed that he didnt hear one.
just curious - when did you have success hearing a heartbeat?
Re: heart rate on doppler at 9 weeks?
Thats still pretty early. My doc doesnt use the doppler until between 12 and 14 weeks depending on mother "size". I am plus size so I am letting myself know now that I probably wont hear it until 14 weeks.
Dont worry!
hi I went for my first prenatal appointment at 11 weeks and the dr didn't listen for a heart beat because he thought it might be too early so don't feel bad i was also disappointed

My doctor was able to find the heartbeat at 8 weeks 5 days, but he did tell me there was a chance we may not hear it. So I wouldnt be worried.
