Babys heartbeat. ?'s?
So I went to my obgyn appointment today. Last month when I went they couldnt find his/her heartbeat and i was 10 weeks. This time Im almost 15 weeks and they couldnt find the heartbeat again so they gave me an ultrasound, we could see the heart moving but not here it, so they gave me an internal ultrasound. Then we could hear the babys heartbeat & it was 150. But they said they couldnt understand why they couldnt hear it. My doctor also said since im an extremely thin person they shouldve been able to hear it with just the fetal doppler. Does anyone know why this would happen? Or what could be wrong with my baby. They were discussing heart disorders but they said wed never know til the baby was born.

I wouldn't worry about it. The baby's heart is beating, and their inability to hear could be caused by a broken doppler, endometriosis, hearing problems on the part of the tech, or just about anything. As long as the heart is beating, your job is to hope for the best, stay as healthy as possible, and love the baby. That's all you can do. Good luck, and congratulations. 150 is a good heartbeat, by the way. I doubt that anything is wrong.
That's a tricky question. I'm not sure why they couldn't find/hear the heartbeat.. Maybe their equipment is wonky and doesn't work right. Or maybe the placenta walls are really thick and it made it harder to detect the heartbeat. There could be a lot of different reasonings. I hope that your baby will be healthy and come out a healthy big baby with a good heartbeat!! Good Luck and Congrats.
I know that when I was prego and pretty far along I couldnt feel my son move or kick my doctor informed me that the placenta was attached to the front of my womb and barring me feeling him until he was much bigger. I realize it's kind of not the same thing but I just thought it would help.
The only thing I know is if they baby isn't in just the right position it's harder to hear from the outside, at this point don't worry about things that you can't do anything about, stay positive and healthy, and be thankful that you did hear the heartbeat.
my friend had the same problem, and they told her that her uterus was tilted back a little bit. She too is a very skinny person.
