He also tried to listen to bub's heartbeat with a doppler and couldn't find it. He was scanning right near my pubic hair... I thought bub's at this stage (12 1/2weeks) would be up further? When I had my dating scan they scanned just below my belly button.
He said he's not concerned about not hearing the heartbeat as it's a bit hit and miss at this stage in terms of finding a heartbeat with a doppler. But he has me all worried now.
I'm still having pregnancy symptoms: sore veiny boobs, nausea, no bleeding, pregnancy pimples, a little bump. But now I'm worried and wish I had of told him not to scan with the doppler. I wish I could have a peek at bub's and make sure that they're okay. We don't have a scan now until the morphology scan which is just under 6 weeks away. I hope that time goes by quickly, but more than anything I hope Squirt was just being naughty and hiding from the doctor.

It's awful, isn't it? I was always nervous when they couldn't find my babys heartbeat...even at 37 weeks! They couldn't find it because he was kicking so hard and squirming around so much, and yet I was still a nervous wreck.
Mummy worry starts early! This is a new feeling, but it won't be an uncommon one :)
Try not to worry too much, they couldn't find my baby's heartbeat with a doppler till around 16 weeks, and I found that my GP would scan quite low for me throughout my whole pregnancy- and definitely at 12 weeks.. I think I remember my midwife telling me that at that stage the uterus was only just protruding above the pubic bone.
Your brain can totally drive you crazy while you're pregnant -- some days you really have focus on not letting it. And whatever you do - stay away from google!!!!
