Yay for the scan Fiona, and thats actually out my mind at ease too cos my placenta is anterior and my MW said she would try and listen to the heart beat at 12 weeks, so if we dont hear it I wont stress too much!]]> Thu, 22 Jan 2009 08:54:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=594337&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#594337 <![CDATA[Hearing heartbeat with doppler : FionaS wrote:She said she could...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593970&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593970 Author: Kazzle

All good! 12weeks 3 days (a little further than the initial scan indicated). Bubba is a perfect little wriggler! Placenta is anterior (at the front) so doppler might not pick up heart for a while.

Thanks ladies :)]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:38:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593910&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593910 <![CDATA[Hearing heartbeat with doppler : Yep didn&#039;t even try to hear...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593838&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593838 Author: Emmecat

Yep didn't even try to hear mine till after about 12 weeks I think. And my feeling of dread kicked in between hearing the heartbeat for the first time and the 20wk scan...it was a looong wait lol.

I'm with everybody else, you're lucky if you hear it that early, think it's the norm not to for a few more weeks yet.

My MW didn't find any heartbeat at 11weeks and that was with twins.

Also even when I was in hospital getting 2 CTGs a day the nurses would have difficulty in finding the babies heartbeats.

ETA: I got the same dreaded feeling at 10 weeks when my MS miraculously disappeared and I didn't feel pregnant anymore.

Fiona congrats on the pregnancy. My MW didn't hear heartbeat until after 12 weeks. Can't remember when exactly though.

i first heard heartbeats at 16wks and 14+4wks......so it's probably just too early.
interestingly for me, they were both beating at exactly the same rate ]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 08:48:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593372&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593372 <![CDATA[Hearing heartbeat with doppler : It between 13 and 14 weeks with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593173&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593173 Author: LeahandJoel

Fiona, my SIL didn't hear her first until 16 weeks. In the end they did a scan, and all was well, he was just hiding from it!

It could also depend on where your placenta is lying. My mw tried at 13w and could only get MY heartbeat via the placenta, but today (19w4d) we got it loud and clear! Didnt last long as the little so and so went and hid behind the placenta again!]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:40:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593139&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593139 <![CDATA[Hearing heartbeat with doppler : I wouldn&#039;t worry I should...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593117&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593117 Author: jjands

Don't fuss chick. It's quite normal not to hear it yet. I had feelings of dread early on too but it was just my mind playing tricks on me.

I think thats normal, mine didnt even check until 12 and a half weeks. I think that the uterus is only just coming above your pubic bone at this time and depending where bub has settled it may be a bit early to hear at the moment.

When do you see her again?? Could you go in a week or so just to ease your mind??]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:03:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593087&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593087 <![CDATA[Hearing heartbeat with doppler : When is your 12 week scan?

When is your 12 week scan? Hopefully that will ease your worries.

My midwife said I was lucky to hear the heartbeat at about 11 weeks as apparently that is still quite early.

I had my first midwife appointment today. According to my dates and scan I'm 11 weeks 6 days pregnant. She wasn't able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler....is that normal??

I have had a dreadful feeling for the last 24 hours and not sure what it is related to but not hearing the heartbeat hasn't helped!]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:46:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23896&PID=593070&title=hearing-heartbeat-with-doppler#593070
