9 weeks and no heartbeat found

Na

Nay

I went in for a private scan at 9 weeks and 1 day and the tech told me she couldn’t find a heartbeat, she said it might be because it’s small and it sometimes can’t be found with a abdominal wand. Has someone ever been through something like this and at second ultrasound found a heartbeat?

I had an abdominal at 7 weeks & could see and hear baby. If you went to a private place , they don’t have the best machines or the best training. Definitely go get a second scan from your ob or planned parenthood

You need to go to the emergency room and have a transvaginal ultrasound done.

I don’t know why they wouldn’t switch to the transvaginal wand. Thats what mine has done.My OBGYN said it’s harder in the earlier stages to see anything on the abdominal one. Id get a second opinion and try not to stress as that will do more harm then good. Hugs girl🥺❤️

Was this an ultrasound or just a fetal doppler? Dopplers can't pick up a heart beat until 13 weeks or later (depends on where the placenta is and the position of your uterus)

Go to another doctor and repeat the vaginal ultrasound

They couldn’t even find my baby without a vaginal ultrasound at the first ultrasound and at the time I thought I was ten weeks and turned out to be more like 7 weeks. I’d definitely have them do a vaginal ultrasound, I am hoping for the best and praying for you!

You should be able to see a heartbeat by 9 weeks. 😕 even with an abdominal ultrasound
