I know I know, I shouldn't have got out my Doppler just yet (I'm 9 weeks today) but the last few days I have been getting trying to find a little heartbeat with no success
Although I know it's still early I can't help to think the worst.
I didn't get my Doppler until 10 weeks with my last pregnancy (and found it straight away) but I hear so many people finding it earlier.
I can't even tell what is my heartbeat or the 'placenta heartbeat'. The heartbeat which I am hearing is my own (80ish bpm) and then I can find a much slower whooshing that doesn't register on the machine - is this my placenta? I assumed the 'placenta heartbeat' would be much faster.
