8 weeks 4 days today. We weren’t allowed to hear the heartbeat but we could see it. Anyone encounter that? The doctor said ‘Wow!! It’s a big baby!!’ Ofcourse I have no idea what to compare it to. I guess it does look a little big?

Question

Answer

I was 8 weeks at my first ultrasound and they wouldn't let us listen to the heartbeat either. They did show us though. I thought it was weird too.

Answer

If it was an abdominal u/s it’s really difficult to hear a heartbeat at this point. I heard it with my 1st 2 kids but that was transvaginal. This time we saw it but didn’t hear it at 10 weeks. :)

Answer

Our ultrasound tech said “we can’t really play the heartbeat but...” and played a super fast clip. Like five seconds of the heartbeat. I was 7 wks 6 days. 
So I think it’s normal to not hear it that early!

Answer

I was able to hear the heartbeat perfectly fine at 7w3d. That does seem weird. We heard it loud and strong and all the nurse had to do was press a button and turn the volume on the machine up during ultrasound

Answer

It’s normal to only see the heartbeat with an 8 weeks abdominal ultrasound. Don’t worry

Answer

I wasn’t allowed either, I was 9 weeks & he said he didn’t wanna stress the baby 🤷🏼‍♀️
