Are you using private health care? My only guess is they see it as a great way to make some money stressing you out about nothing. That would be the only reason. There's nothing you can do to make a baby develop properly at that stage if there are no known underlying issues and you can't prevent any developmental problems that might cause a pregnancy to not be viable. I had a missed miscarriage where baby stopped developing at 5 weeks and never got a heartbeat, just one of those things when something goes wrong in cell development and seeing my midwife or having more regular scans wouldn't have prevented it. It would have meant my care cost more (obviously in the NHS, so I'm not paying, but the hospital would have spent more money on me). If you're paying privately or through insurance, your doctor or hospital will just be making more money. You're likely to see a heartbeat in the next 2 weeks, but I wouldn't want to be going to the doctor that much, even with my history. It's time consuming and I think a bit invasive. Also, just because you see a heartbeat unfortunately doesn't mean things will turn out okay, and I'd be afraid it would just lead to even more monitoring and intervention throughout the rest of her pregnancy. I'd just say no thanks, we'll see you at our next regular appointment.
