Dr. couldn't get the HB on the doppler...did a sono instead

We just got back from the doctor's office and after trying for maybe a minute to get the heartbeat on the doppler she just said she'd do a quick sono. She looked at the sono and said the heartbeat looked fine, probably in the 160s and I know she's a doctor and everything is probably fine, but has anyone else not been able to have their doctor find the HB on the doppler?

    Yes!I wa so scared. My doctor did a T/V U/S that day and we saw the baby! She said heartbeat looked fine and was 169 bpm. She also said I was measuring small which could of been why we couldn't hear the heartbeat because I was not as far along as they had first suspected. I was supposed to be 12 weeks that day but she moved me to 10 w 5 d. I have my next appointment in a few weeks. Who knows what will happen. I'm thinking if she didn't say anything was wrong with your baby's HB there is nothing to worry about ( I know, easier said than done!). Best of luck :)

    The doctor could only find baby's HB on the dopplar for seconds at a time. Not even long enough for me to hear it. And that took her 5-10min just to get it for a second. I had my NT scan yesterday and the US Tech LOOKING at the baby couldn't even follow baby enough with the little wand for me to hear it, case s/he was bouncing around so much! It was actually quite funny. I wouldn't be too worried if I were you, it's amazing how much they can move around in there, and they are still so tiny (inches long), I see now how it can be difficult.

    this happened to me at my 11 week appointment. I also have a slightly tipped uterus which makes it hard for the doppler. you aren't alone!

    Yep, happened to us last Thursday. Exact same situation. Baby was fine. Apparently it happens pretty often. Mine was because LO was so active and kept moving around.

    That happened to me at my last appt, I was sent for an u/s and everything was fine but it was a little scary there.  I have a tilted uterus so that was the problem but today a 15w5d she was able to get it with no problems.  = )
