Doctor couldn't find heartbeat at 11 weeks
Doctor couldn't find heartbeat at 11 weeks
I went for my 2nd doctor's appointment today at exactly 11 weeks, and my doctor couldn't find a heartbeat with the doppler. She said she wasn't concerned because it's so early but scheduled me for an ultrasound tomorrow to confirm either way. Now I have to ponder this for the next 24 hours. Did anyone else's doctor have trouble finding the heartbeat? If so, did you have an ultrasound to follow up?

I went at 12 weeks and 2 days and the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler. She actually said she has that problem quite often. I had to have an ultrasound to make sure baby was ok. They only made me wait about 10 minutes though. Everything was fine. Sorry you have to wait so long. That is terrible.

11 weeks is still early , especially considering how much time they actually spend looking. Most doc appts I was 12-14?weeks before doc found it. I am 11-3 and it can take over 15 min on home doppler. I am sure everything will be fine, peanut is just tiny and hiding

Thanks ladies!! You've given me some hope. I just wish I didn't have to wait so long for the follow-up ultrasound...

At my 10 week appointment my provider couldn't find the heartbeat either with the Doppler but brought in a handheld sonogram machine and found the baby immediately. ❤️

Yes, I actually had my 11 weeks check up yesterday and my doctor took at least 15-20 mins trying to find the heartbeat but she got it! Don't worry I was nervous as well, just think positive and trust me maybe the baby was hiding lol

My dr found mine at 12 weeks but was very faint. She also told me before doing it she would be surprised to hear it because normally they can't hear it well until 14-15 weeks.

My midwife couldn't find it either at my 11w3d appointment. Even though she warned me ahead of time that it was still early and she may not find it, I left in a panic! The earliest they could schedule me for an ultrasound was 3 days later, so I have felt your pain! Rest assured though ? All was fine in my ultrasound! I was so relieved to see a healthy, wiggly babe ? Try and get some rest tonight and enjoy seeing your little one tomorrow!

Such awesome, supportive mama's in our November group! Thank you all for the reassurance. We went for our ultrasound today and sure enough there was a little one wiggling around in there yet. Feeling so very blessed ??. Everything looked good and baby still measuring perfectly on target with LMP.

With my twins the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat with a Doppler at 14 weeks. My placenta was anterior and blocked it. My twins are turning 3 in a few weeks.

Haha, I just saw your comment on the ultrasound. Glad your little one is doing well.
