Yay for hearing your bubba's heart beat Mrs B, i remember hearing Caitlyn's , it IS the coolest sound in the world

Thanks so much for all your responses, support and reassurance guys, it really meant a lot , I would have been so worried otherwise (well, more worried ) ]]> Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:59:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=542981&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#542981 <![CDATA[Help please , doctor freaking me out : That&#039;s great news Bit late...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=542943&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#542943 Author: Mrs_B

That's great news Bit late to add but thought I would say anyway. My midwife attempted to listen for heartbeat at my 11wk appt with a doppler but said it was unlikely as bubba was still tiny and it depends on where he/she was positioned. in the uterus. We couldn't hear it I was disappointed but not worried as she had explained this before attempting unlike your dumb Dr!!
But we just had our 15wk appt yesterday and got to hear it loud and clear thumping away at 150-160bpm Both DH and I had huge grins on our faces! It's the coolest sound I wish i had recorded it!

So really what I wanted to say is don't panic if you don't hear it with a doppler for a few weeks yet! ]]> Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:08:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=542943&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#542943 <![CDATA[Help please , doctor freaking me out : Yay from me too!

Yay from me too! 

It's pretty annoying to be given a date that's behind where you thought you were though! They did that to me at my first scan too - feels like you have to do that week over again!

My male doctor did the exact same thing when I was pg with Ashlee at 11 weeks! Except he did add that baby is very small so not to worry. I was just happy enough to be referred for a scan it's later on in the pregnancy that you should be worrying if they can't find the heartbeat. 9 weeks is still really early.

Argh what a stupid Doctor!!!!!

Hun dont worry! My midwife told me she wouldnt even bother trying to hear the heartbeat before 11 weeks because she didnt want me to get worried if we couldnt hear anything. So at 11 weeks she tried and found it.

Baby is so so so tiny right now sometimes its just impossible to pick up the heartbeat that early, some people dont hear it till 12 weeks +!!

My mw didn't expect to hear anything at 12,5 weeks, as scan had shown placenta at the front.

I can't believe how inconsiderate some doctors are!!!!

All the best with your scan tomorrow, and keep us posted. ]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:14:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541810&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541810 <![CDATA[Help please , doctor freaking me out : Oh kelly, what a stupid doctor!

Oh kelly, what a stupid doctor!

I heard baby at 10 weeks... during a scan, certainly not with a doppler. My midwife tried at 11w5d with a doppler and she couldnt find it, but there it was again during the next scan at 13 weeks.

You might be able to hear that little heartbeat at your scan tomorrow (not sure if all scan machines can do it or not????).

As for the bloods, why???? At 8 weeks your hcg will be leveling out, at 9 weeks mine had dropped by half (which freaked me out), HCG is unreliable as a one off at this stage in your pregnancy.

I would try not to worry hun (as if you cant, I would be a nervous wreck), and perhaps dont go back to that doctor again for pregnancy related things... time for a midwife?

Hope you manage to get some sleep.]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:48:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541784&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541784 <![CDATA[Help please , doctor freaking me out : I was in hospital just after my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541672&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541672 Author: Bobbie

I was in hospital just after my 12 week scan and the registrar there refused to check for a heartbeat as he said he wasn't skilled enough and would only freak me out when he couldn't find it.

Sounds like your baby is just fine.

Yay you get to see the baby tomorrow!

I remember this time with Joel it would have been about 11 weeks and it took 10 mins to find it and then only caught it for 3 beats then it was gone again. The next time at 15 weeks was straight on it as loud as anything. Drs can be idiots sometimes. I hope your scan is good tomorrow.

Hey Kelly.
I know I already posted in the June 09 thread - but I just had a thought...
I remember my midwife saying to me that the heartbeat we hear isn't actually the heart itself - it's the pulse of blood flowing through the umbilical cord - at at that early stage, the placenta and umbilical cord are just as teeny tiny as the heart itself..

Correct me, anyone, if I'm wrong, but I just have a funny memory of my mw saying that to reassure me when it took ages to find Hannah's heartbeat at 14 weeks...

Good luck tomorrow

What an idiot! My obstetrician didn't try 'hearing' the heartbeat till after 12 weeks either, at my earlier appointments I got to see it on the scans but the baby is SO SMALL, he had to point it out to me

I'm sure the bloodtest is also only because he didn't know what he was talking about.

Go have your scan - good luck! - and forget about the blood test.

My MW wouldnt even try til after 12 weeks, she said it was VERY unlikely to hear it on a doppler before then and trying would just cause unnecessary worry and stress if we couldnt hear it.  Im sure your bubba bean is quite happy in there, but I would also jump at the chance of a scan!!

You gotta remember these guys are general practitioners, not baby experts, and he probably doesn't get a lot of practice with pregnant women since most go through midwives or specialists so he probably doesn't really remember himself what's normal and what's not.

Thanks MummyDee....I even said to him ," 9 weeks is pretty early to hear the heartbeat isnt it ?" his response "hmmmm"

You do NOT say that to an already emotionally hormonal pregnant woman !!!! ]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:55:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541195&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541195 <![CDATA[Help please , doctor freaking me out : Stupid stupid doctor My midwife...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541193&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541193 Author: MrsMojo

Stupid stupid doctor  My midwife won't even try using the doppler until after 12 weeks.

It's just too early to hear your baby's teensy weency heart but I'm sure it's beating away good and strong. 

Yay that you get to have a scan tomorrow though to see your baby and put your mind at ease.  Please try and relax in the meantime.

I remember at 11 weeks, my mw said we might not be able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler, so yes I think its too early - stupid doctor!!

If it would put your mind at rest, then I say go for the early scan.

Good point Kellz ... (about the itty bitty baby).

I would jump at the chance for a scan .. any excuse I say!

And when I went for a scan .. I couldnt see the heart beat ... she had to zoom right in for me to see it beating (she obviously could see it as she was saying .. yep look at the healthy heart beat)

So it must be teeny tiny!]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:44:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541178&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541178 <![CDATA[Help please , doctor freaking me out : Oh and another thing- at 8weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541176&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541176 Author: Kellz

Its way to early to hear the heart beat. What was he using to listen to it? If it was just a regular stethescope then often u cant even hear babies heart beat with them anyway.

Im sure everything will be fine, but can understand how incerdibly awful u must be feeling.

At least if u have a scan u will get to see bubs! Yay!

Hmmm it would depend on how good the equipment is.

I recall my GP saying that the thing they use isnt as good as the MW and not to fret if she couldnt find a heartbeat.

Stupid (male) doctor has got me freaking out, I am currently sitting here in tears because hes got me so worried .

I went for checkup and he tried to listen for babies heartbeat , (im 9 weeks 3 days going by LMP) and he couldn't hear it, I know that its very early to hear it , but instead of reassuring me that it was too early , he looked and seemed all concerned, and suggested I get bloods and gave me a referral for a scan .

Should I be concerned ? my nausea has gone mostly, not that I had much with this one , ...Im getting worried that my period is really really late and Im not pregnant at all , or that I am but something has happened to baby .

Or is he freaking me out for no reason ...is 9 weeks far enough along to hear the heart beat (hear, not see , didnt have a scan )

sorry for all the questions but Im getting really upset ]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:34:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22376&PID=541170&title=help-please-doctor-freaking-me-out#541170
