Had my first u/s but dr didnt say any thing about the heart beat

So i had my first drs appointment last week and my dr did a trans-virginal( i think tats what its called) ultra sound. We saw the baby she took a pic and told me when my expected due date was ($ days earlier than i thought YAY). How ever she did not say any thing about a heart beat and because this is all so new to me i did not know to ask. Now i feel so silly cos every one is asking me what the heart beat was and i have no clue so my question is is it normal for the dr to not say any thing about the heart beat or should i be worried?
Thank you

Re: Had my first u/s but dr didnt say any thing about the heart beat
1. It's "trans-vaginal" not "trans-virginal."
2. If she gave you a due date, then don't worry about the heartbeat. If there was a problem, she would have said something.
3. Not to be snarky, but please stop writing the slang "cos." It's "because." If you follow proper English and stop using text language, you will save yourself a lot of hassle and flaming on these boards.
I guarantee your doctor recorded the heartbeat in your records. I'd just call your office and ask.
Good luck!
This is why I have a love/hate relationship with 1st tri. *sigh*
Well all i have to say is if you have nothing nice to say you probably should not be saying any thing at all.
I have never been pregnant before never had a child before i have absolutely no experience in all of this so please excuse me if you find me being a newbie annoying. I genuinely was just looking for some advice. I frankly am annoyed with myself for shedding a tear over nonsense but for now i accept it because i almost cannot control it and if you cant understand that because you have had tons of babies and experience then so be it.
We should all try to be considerate about other peoples feelings that's all am sayingCongratulations!
Sometimes in an early ultrasound the Dr can't see the heartbeat. Don't worry about it. This is often called the dating scan, because the Dr can see the baby's age from the measurements. There's not much else they can see at this stage. I'm sure you will see it at your next appt.
Normally I don't respond but I feel bad for how she is talking to you. Don't take what ignorant people say to heart especially when they don't know you. You came on here to ask a question hoping for support, which is why we are all on here, and you get a RUDE comment. Don't let her make you cry...instead feel bad for her that she has nothing nice to say and that this is the attitude that she will be teaching her child.
As far as the HB question, honestly, I wouldn't worry. As long as the Dr. moved your due date up and gave you a picture...don't worry. Usually they don't give the results of the heart when you are past 6 or 7 weeks. But you can takea couple of the other lady's advice and call your Dr
Good luck for a healthy and happy pregnancy!!!
Here's the reality of The Bump. It's the sort of board where you can and will receive lots of great advice and answers. However, most of the ladies appreciate paragraphs, good sentence structure, and an attempt to use correct spelling. It's not being mean- it's just the dynamic of these boards.
OP, congrats on your first pregnancy. I agree with the other ladies that suggested you call your doctor and ask. Good luck!
I'm sure the doctor just forgot to mention the heart rate. It has happened to me a few times over my last two pregnancies. I bet it's in your chart if you're curious.
I dislike playground bullies...how about you? It seems like there are a few on this site this morning! Ignore their mean and disrespectful responses... what goes around, comes around...they'll get their due.
To you, congrats!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!
I didn't see any rude comments, other than the OP coming back and scolding the posters that didn't tell her what she wanted to hear. They may have been straight forward and "matter-of-fact" but, not rude.

Wow I am sooooo sorry that you have had to experience the mean girls on here. We don't have to name names do we "girls" mean girls usually know who they are.
Biyela, usually in my experience if the Doctor wasn't sure on something or wanted to get another look for a heartbeat etc. they would have set up another appt. my doctors office has one specific nurse that answers questions, I'm sure they would be kind to you ifyou need reassurance.
The majority of people on these boards are nice, don't let a couple of bad apples spoil the whole bunch of us! ; )
Have a wonderful day!
As for the others k.a.r.m.a.
Wow, I'm really surprised that there is bullying going on this website. We are grown women who some day will be raising children and should not be acting like children. We all come here for advice and we should all respect one another. Most of us on here are going to be 1st time parents, and it should be okay if we don't know everything there is to know about pregnancy, no one should be made fun of or be insulted because of it.
Biyela - Congratulations and Best Wishes on your pregnancy.
First off, congrats!!! I wasn't told a heartbeat rate and didn't think anything of it because I saw it was strong and the doctor said it was strong. I think if something was wrong, then they'd be sure to tell you. "No news is good news!"
As for what I've seen on this specific thread, I'm very surprised and it makes me think a little differently about this site. I've looked at numerous threads, posts, etc. and have never seen anything like the rudeness you've dealt with. There's always bad apples somewhere, I'm just sorry you had to deal with this. Hopefully they won't comment on anything else you post in the future..good luck with everything!!!!
