No luck! ( Doppler)

Assilemmm09 · August 2013

Just got my doppler and after an hr of trying I couldn't find anything, I know it's maybe too early I'm (11 weeks 3 days) but I was kind of exited

Babies move away from dopplers, suggesting they are loud or painful. Maybe the baby was moving away and that's why you couldn't find the HB.

Don't worry or stress about it! It can be really tricky to find the heartbeat early on unless you are really good at it or just get lucky! Just try again every few days.

No stressing allowed
You'll hear it! Try to relax

This subject had me worried!
I'm sure you'll find it soon.
No advice here though. I'm not hip on the Doppler craze.

Don't worry! It took me 2.5 weeks to find my baby's heartbeat. Don't get discouraged and try again in a few days. The youtube videos definitely help. I was surprised how low the baby actually was and if I moved even the width of a hair I would lose it.

I have one and I found it right in the center just above hair line. Tip it up a little and push into your abdomen a little. I wasn't looking in the right place at first. Good luck!

Don't worry I didn't find my LO's heartbeat either the first time I tried. Just keep trying and don't give up! you'll find it!

I'm over 13weeks AND have two babies but my OB still couldn't find the heartbeats with the Doppler today. No worries, you'll get it!

Try above the pubic bone about an inch or so and push down moving it really slow. Alot of times I find my heartbeat first then babys behind it good luck.

It can be so hard to find, like they said above move slightly and it can be lost. Definitely start low and in the middle , then a little to the right or a little to the left. Make sure you slowly rock the prob back towards you so the prob is facing your feet and vice versa. Slow and low are two helpful pointers

don't worry, you'll find it

When I went to the dr at 11 weeks, so told me she was going to try to find the heart via doppler, but that I shouldn't freak it if it took her a while. While it did not, she was a lot lower than I would have guessed. Try not to worry!
