I'll chant with you: nothing to worry about...

I wish you could have gotten into the doctor's, just to ease your mind. Hoping for a nice, loud heartbeat this weekend.

Hi, just another pregnant lady passing by. My doctor checked for a hb with the doppler at 11 weeks 4 days and nothing. Less than a week later we heard the rapid whoosh whoosh whoosh of that lovely heartbeat. I have a little extra chub, so nothing doing before 12 weeks. I go back this week at 13 and hope we hear it again.
Good luck with your doppler this weekend!

Please don't fret little lobstery one. Soon you will have the whoosh whoosh. Meditate on the whoosh whoosh coming. And be well.

Those kids can be elusive - at my last OB appt, the doctor kept losing the heartbeat because her hand would slip just a fraction of an inch - also the baby seemed to be moving around. All I'm trying to say is, often you have to hit the *exact spot* to hear it, and that can be really hard.

Good luck!

Couldn't hear the heartbeat on this current baby until almost 14 weeks. I knew something was going on, though, because I kept getting fatter and fatter (second pregnancy). The midwife told me ahead of time that since I have a "deep pelvis" it would take longer for them to hear the heartbeat.

Joining this waaaay late but will second that:
a) you should NOT PANIC if you don't hear it for a couple of weeks (or even a little more)
b) lie flat
c) use TONS and TONS of gel. Do not skimp!
The baby is still really tiny - it could be anywhere and it just needs to get a little bigger.
