reassurance or telling off probably.
my OH is 9w 2d pregnant through IVF.
I'm also preg with our 2nd baby and I found my son's HB on the doppler at 10weeks, and my 2nd baby's HB on the doppler at 9w 2 days, and even though it was tricky to find and took ages, I've always been able to find it (although since i've felt her moving i don't use it anymore and I know that a HB doesn't necessarily mean everything is OK which is why i monitor her movement pattern daily now I'm 24w)
anyway as OH isn't due a scan until next Saturday, we decided 2 days ago to use the doppler on her (baring in mind she was 9w 0d exactly) after about 15 minutes we were quite shocked to hear a quiet but unmistakeable baby heartbeat. only for about a minute and then he/she moved and lost it again.
tried yesterday 3 times and heard absolutely nothing, also this morning.
I feel awful now as even though it was her idea to listen, it's me that does the doppler-ing as I've done it so often with my 2 and never failed to find HB even if it took half an hour.
has anyone else not been able to find it for more than a day early on after previously hearing it?
I've always been one to say dopplers are a great idea but now i can see why they can be stressful if you try too early. just hope baby is ok, constantly panicking about one thing or another!!
