i am 16wks and just got my angel sound today but cant find the heartbeat can someone please help as im now worried as not felt any movements yet thanks so much
DON'T FEEL WORRIED!
I am 18 weeks and its taken me 30 minutes to find a heartbeat which I heard about 2 seconds of before it disapeared again now I can't find any trace of it!
Baby is just being difficult and hiding
check really low like on your hair line! But don't worry!! Your baby has loads of room to move around! I have the same doppler and sometimes still can't find it
Sometimes MW can't even find it that early. Don't stress about it, at home dopplers aren't supposed to be used medically, they are just for the fun of hearing your baby's heartbeat. They are toys, so don't get worried about it!
PLENTY of gel that helps and also if you tilt the transducer you get sounds from different angles. Like Kermie says it will be mega mega low, mine always was right up until 20 weeks. Maybe give it a rest and try later when baby has moved?
I found the hb really easy from week 10 until about 2 weeks ago and now it takes me ages to find. I started panicing so I have limited myself to checking once a week now as it just stresses me out.
I also find if I do it in the morning after first wee before I eat or drink anything I find it easier!
yae agree , i have one of those, takes a while to find heartbeat and once u do, it goes in a flash cause been will be flaotin about lol so check really low at ur hair line, like its almost like near ur privates x
your baby has so much room to move around and they do tend to move away and hide from them as well. Aim lower than you think as well. Im 27 weeks and my midwife still takes a whie to find her sometimes and as soon as she does she moves.
