Doctor cannot detect babies heartbeat at 8 weeks?

Answer 1

absolutly! 8 weeks pregnant is still very early to detect a heart beat. I believe when I was pregnant mine was checked at around 10-12 weeks...even then it was hard to find because the fetus is so small. My Dr. also didn't have an ultrasound done she was using a small device called a doppler.

Answer 2

A baby's heartbeat may not be heard until the 10th week of pregnancy. A baby's heartbeat can usually be found by using an ultrasound.

Answer 3

Kind of early to panic. Is there electrical activity? Any kind? Can they hear it?

If any of those are true, come back in two months. If not; ask your doctor what's next.

Answer 4

It is quite common, particularly if it is before about 10 weeks, but it can also show that the baby has died

Answer 5

The baby should have a heartbeat after about 1 month (4 weeks).
