16 weeks

Lauren

I just had my 16 week appointment. Doctor couldnt find babies heart beat on his doppler. So he did an ultrasound. He didnt seem worried, he said everything is fine though he was not able to measure heart rate due to his ultrasound machine being old, and his doppler looks ancient.

Is it normal for a doctor to not be able to get a HB on a doppler at 16 weeks? I am also 300lbs if that makes a difference.
