12w and no heartbeat with the monitor?

TennesseeChicky asked:


I’m currently 12w along. I went in and they tried to pick up the baby’s heartbeat with the fetal monitor but couldn’t find it. I’m not too alarmed cause the dr said it was normal. We also saw the h/b at 8w and it was a strong 171 bpm. Has anyone else experienced this and what was your outcome?? Thanks!
