Couldn't find the heartbeat on doppler at 15 weeks

[Von]

My OB would only use the u/s as she would find it difficult to find the heartbeat with a doppler...which was a bit sad cause I wissed out on hearing that magical sound....

Also my placenta was to the front which actually cushioned the kicks bubs was giving me so I did not feel kicking until way later which was freaking me out....

I hope the 2 weeks goes by quickly for you and you don't worry to much more....sending you all the best wishes I can...

Just wanted to throw something else into what everyone else has said, If you are super concerned then perhaps make a GP appointment and ask them to order another ultrasound. Stress isn't good for you or for bub so if it is really super dooper worrying you then just go to the Dr and request (demand) another US.

Sounds like all is well though so try not to worry - easier said then done sometimes

Try your best not to worry hon. As everyone else has said, it's not uncommon at all. I had to have an urgent checkup this week as I fell on my tummy and the midwife told me she was hesitant to use the doppler as she may not be able to find the heartbeat which would only lead to more stress. I'm 19 weeks and my placenta is posterior but the midwife said it was still unlikely she'd find it. She did actually find it without any problems but my little one is sitting right at the front - I can feel where it's positioned most of the time - so I was a bit of an unusual case.

I'm sure your little bubs is just fine honey. Midwifes often say they're hesitant to use dopplers because they can cause unnecessary stress.

Take care of yourself
