heart beat with fetal monitor at home ?

Question

Any plus size moms out there able to find a heart beat at home using a sonoline b fetal Doppler at 9.5 weeks.  I can't find it and am trying not to freak out because it's early but lots of YouTube people have :/

Answer

I'm 10 weeks 4 days and over 200l bs and havnt been able to find a heartbeat. But I also have a tilted uterus which would effect it too

Answer

I got a doppler at 9 weeks, the first 2 days it was so frustrating, i was so worried because i couldn't find the heartbeat, now in 10 weeks and i know were he/she is so is easy to find the heartbeat, i suggest to start under you bellybutton right where the pelvic bone starts and start just twisting the prove, don't move it to fast because you might miss it, usually you'll find it around a wind sound that i read is supposed to be the placenta. Good luck and be patient.

Answer

I am plus size (200lbs) and bought one and used it at 8 weeks exactly. I found the heartbeat for 4 days straight and then could not find it. Naturally I freaked out. 2 days later I had an ultrasound and I was almost positive I was going to get bad news. My baby was wiggling around and and had a strong hb of 179. I promised to not use the doppler until I was at least 12 weeks. Now im 10.5 weeks and doing great!

Answer

I'm plus size. I found the heart beat at 9 weeks and some days. I check every couple days. I've only found it once lol.

Answer

My OB wouldn't even check me with the fetal Doppler at ten weeks at the office because they aren't accurate. I'm 130 lbs
