I was about 11 weeks when I heard the HB, had panicked about getting to the 12 week scan with my mum and finding no baby! Was the best sound in the world, I still remember it so clearly.
My MW wouldnt try before 13 weeks. A girl of similar stature to me found it with her own doppler at 11 weeks (trying every few days for a few mins at a time from about 9.5w). Maybe ask her to try and find it or send you for a scan... either way you win Maybe look into getting your own doppler (about 50$ from TM i think) for those weeks post NT scan before you can feel it move (if you think you will continue to worry.
Im sure bubs is fine though
My MW couldn't find the heartbeat at 11weeks so I went back the following week and another midwife couldn't find it either, had the nuchal scan at 13weeks and could see it beating away quite strongly but didn't actually hear it until 15 weeks and I wasn't carrying much fat at all, was 50kg pre-pregnancy
From memory my Midwife heard mine at 8weeks!!!! And 4 weeks later we realised why it was so strong!!! Just thought we were lucky to be able to hear it (them), little did we know there were 2. I was tiny as well.
