Abdominal or Doppler at 12 weeks

Rebecca

For those who are hesitant with ultrasounds and have done research.... would you do an abdominal ultrasound (no Doppler mode) at 12 weeks in order to see heartbeat or would you just have the doc use the handheld Doppler really quick. Which do you think is best? I haven't done any ultrasounds but would like to confirm all is well at my next appt.
