So this is my first pregnancy and of course all of these appointments are new to me but I was a little disappointed with this ultrasound...

I saw my baby and it was an amazing experience, my little peanut had a heart rate of 151. However, when I asked to hear the heart beat they made an excuse by saying “ the machine is too strong for the baby and they didn’t want to use such a strong machine to hear the heart beat”.... that’s the part I was really looking forward too and was so disappointed when they said that!!

but reading many other posts majority of people got to hear the heart beat.

Is my baby okay? Am I the only one?!

So concerned and don’t understand !!

I didn't hear my baby's heart beat either they didn't show me either I don't know why baby's heart rate was 163 tho so I bought a Doppler and listened myself 😍

That’s weird! Both my first pregnancy and this one for the 10wk appt we got to hear the heart via dopplar and at the 12wk scan during the ultrasound they not only showed us the heart beat on the monitor, but flipped the switch so we could hear it again too! I totally trust my obgyn office and they win awards in our area all the time and they have never said anything about that to me or anyone else i know that’s worked with them! I hope you get to hear it soon!!
