So disappointed and worried ?

I had my first ultrasound yesterday. I was waiting for this day to hear my baby's heartbeat. But, the hospital doesn't even have an ultrasound room. The doctor showed up with a lunch box size ultrasound machine. I was measured 8w2d exactly how it was predicted based on my lmp. I got a blurry picture (worse than my first baby's 7w ultrasound) and didn't get to hear the heartbeat. The doctor said it was too early to detect with the machine. He promised that I will hear next time and that'll be at my 18 week appt. I'm like what? I've been so anxious all this time because I had mc last time. How can the doctor be sure that the baby is growing healthy even without hearing the heartbeat? Can I trust that the baby is ok? What if the heartbeat is not high enough? Am I overreacting? Is it ok not to know the heart rate at this point? Please help!

Is it just my docs?

Idk why, but every time I go to the doctor they just check my blood pressure, weight, urine, baby's heartbeat, and send me on my way!

babybump_user My doctors don't do anything else either... However I saw someone different last week and she checked
babybump_user That's all my dr does. I just figured it's because all is going well. I know she
babybump_user Same here too! Except she also measures my belly. It's such a waste of time to go

So I went in for my ultrasound at 5w5d.. they didn’t even try to hear the heartbeat. Is this normal? They’ve rescheduled my 2 weeks out and I was ok abt it at first and now I’m kinda freaking myself out.
