Heartbeat?

Janelle
Went to my OBGYN for my 8 week scan I found out my due date and I saw the baby's heartbeat but she refused to do use the device on the ultrasound cart to hear a heartbeat she said she didn't want to to harm the baby I'm not really sure why . this early in the pregnancy the baby can't hear anything I thought. I'm very confused if someone could give me some advice or someone has been through this that would be awesome this early in the pregnancy the baby can't hear anything I thought. What are your thoughts??

I don't think it has to do with hearing. I've read other posts about doctors not doing dopplers due to some study that says it could be harmful. I'd have to do some research, but my first pregnancy I saw the heartbeat but we didn't listen to it on the ultrasound. Later on we did just a Doppler at about 9-ish weeks.
