can't find heartbeat...going crazy

[Dolphinz4]

I know a lot of people will say its still early...but ive beem looking everyday for the past week with my sonoline doppler, and I cant find anything, not even a glimpse of the heartbeat. I have googled and looked on youtube, and its not impossible to find it this early, as a matter of fact, its quite common! Im starting to worry that there is something wrong...I dont have a scan until 12 weeks which is july 7th...what am I suppose to do for 4 weeks? Seriously freaked out and dissapointed!

I didn't find my babies heartbeat until 13 weeks! It's still VERY early!

At 8 weeks your baby is still so tiny so if you are able to find it, it will take a lot of time and patience. BUT, eight weeks is early I really wouldn't worry yet. Could you maybe book a private scan to ease your mind?

I didn't find mine til 9+4 and I spent hours looking!

I didn't find mine until 13 weeks either. Try not to worry.

I still can't find mine and I'm over 12 weeks and using sonoline. It does worry me, but had a scan at 9+6 and everything was perfect. Couldn't find the hb with my Doppler that day either. With dd I couldn't find it til 15 weeks! You are still really early to find it at this point!

I only found HB at 9+5 last time. And it was really low down. I had been looking way too high. Try not worry. Give it another week and try again.

I didn't find mine till 15 weeks with my angel sounds Doppler. The doctor couldn't even find mine at 13 weeks. I wouldn't worry to much, like everyone has said baby is still very small right now. Everyone is different and it depends on babies position.

I've been looking for heartbeat since 8 weeks and now at 10 weeks I still have yet to find it with my sonoline b. I have a scan with specialist at 12 weeks that doctor prescribed due to husband having 3 cousins with autism. I was planning on canceling scan if they were to tell me it was going to be another high copay fee since it's just an additional scan to see if any info can be given by geneticist. Now, I want to do scan regardless of copay since I haven't found heartbeat. Just have to convince DH either way since he's the only one working

I wouldn't worry, I was seen at 14wks and 2 dr's couldn't even find my baby's HB. I had to get a US done to confirm. My baby was just face down making it harder to pick up.

I spent far far too long last night trying to find the heartbeat with the sonoline b yesterday evening (prob 1.5 hours over a 3 hour period. i was stubborn. before food, after food, full bladder, empty bladder)- never found it. First thing this morning (9w2) I found it! (two or three times over 30 min- kept disappearing after 6-8 seconds)

Then I realized I'm using it way too much, and haven no clue what the long exposure will do to me/baby, so it's getting put away for a while.
