Is it normal to have no heartbeat at 10 weeks of pregnancy? Doctor advises waiting for 10 days, is this common?

Question

Is it normal to not detect a fetal heartbeat at 10 weeks of pregnancy? My doctor has advised me to wait for 10 days before taking any further action. Is this a common recommendation in such cases?

Answer 1

I had no heartbeat at 11 weeks and in two days i will be 12 weeks and they are gonna try and hear it again with the dobbler. My doc said it was very normal and that the baby is so small it is hard to find it. But i had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and you could see heartbeat healthy on screen. So im not too worried will post friday with update

With my daughter I was 14weeks before her heartbeat was heard with the Doppler. Sometimes the positioning just isn't right.

Answer 2

Have you gone for ultrasound again?

What's your baby's condition ?

Answer 3

Everyone is different. We got a heartbeat as early as 6weeks 2 days
