Is It Normal Not to Hear the Hearbeat At 16wks. Posted: 07-11-07 11:30am


Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone else has gone through this. My OB tried to hear the heartbeat today but all he could hear was my blood flowing to the placenta. I am 16wks so I thought today I would've heard it. He scheduled me an ultrasound for next week just in case. Has this happened to anyone else

Sometimes early on it is harder to hear the heartbeat, especially if your baby is one who likes to "hide". It is also harder to hear if a person is overweight, and depending on what position the baby is in. I am glad that they have set up an US for you to be sure everything is OK. It is so hard to be a nervous mom! They had a hard time catching my first baby's heart beat. Even in subsequent appointments, I think she was a very "private" baby. LOL. I hope you get in soon and you have your mind put at ease. Good luck.
