Thankyou I'm just so worried now ... How have others girls found a heartbeat at like 8 weeks! Hoping mine is just a bit rubbish it's not a big brand one.... Iv considered a private scan until my scan in 6 days but it seems a waste of £100 as its Xmas :-( I just hope others have had this problem and it's not just me ... I'm really hoping I'm just crazy and worrying for nothing it's just everyone Iv talked to has said it worrying etc X
I had a Doppler and I dont remember exactly when I found the heartbeat, but it was later than you tried. I'd also add that it's not as easy to find as you might think. Once you've found it, it's easier because you know what you're doing, but even then sometimes you just can't find it in the first and second trimester.
The people who,said they found a heartbeat at 8 weeks could very easily have found a heartbeat - their own!!! The baby would be tiny at that stage. I read that 11 or 12 weeks is about the earliest you can find it BUT you have to be extremely lucky and most people
don't find it then.
Please don't worry. I say that in all genuineness. It would be unusual and lucky to find the heartbeat now. Those who,say they did are either very, very, very fortunate - or more likely, totally mistaken!
