I am 11 weeks tomorrow. I have a Sonoline B at home Doppler and have been trying to find baby’s heart beat periodically for about two weeks now and haven’t been successful. With my son I want to say I first found his between 13-14 weeks, but so many on here are saying they are finding their baby’s heart beat as early as 9 weeks. HOW?!

I will say I do have a tilted uterus. We went in at 8 weeks for our first sonogram and they could not see baby and had to switch from abdominal to transvaginal because of my tilted uterus. We saw a heartbeat or 161 at that appointment and have our next one in the morning, but I’m so worried they won’t be able to find a heart beat with their Doppler either!

My OB couldn’t even find it on the Doppler! They had to roll in the ultrasound machine to make sure everything was okay and he was bouncing around perfectly healthy. I was 11 weeks and didn’t think much about not being able to find it on the Doppler at home, but panicked a little when the OB couldn’t find it.

The same with me happened at my 6 wk appt! But then at my 8 wk, she was able to find it via the abdominal, so I don’t know if my uterus is still tilted or what����‍♀️. But I’m 10 now, and I have the same - Sonoline B, and can’t find hb on it

It’s completely understandable to feel anxious, especially after not finding the heartbeat with your Doppler. Since you have a tilted uterus, it might make it more difficult to detect the heartbeat with a home Doppler, even at 11 weeks. Many women don’t find the heartbeat on a Doppler until later, and even at 13-14 weeks, it can still be tricky to locate, especially depending on the position of the baby.

As for the early heartbeats others are hearing, some babies might be in a position that's easier to detect, and some women have more practice with the Doppler. Don’t let it add extra stress—your ultrasound showed a healthy heartbeat at 8 weeks, and it’s likely everything is still progressing well.

Try to relax and trust that your healthcare provider will be able to get a clear reading at your appointment. It’s normal to feel a little worried, but you’re doing great.

just coming back with an update!! My OB couldn’t even find heart beat using their Doppler today. She said it is still a bit early (they can usually find it by 12/13 weeks) so they had us do a quick sonogram to double check. Baby looks good and had a strong heart rate of 180!! Just wanted to provide some comfort to any mamas in the same boat ❤️
