Help please , doctor freaking me out

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

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!

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!

And btw lilfatty , congrats on your pregnancy

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.

Your right Jo , I think I should try and relax, worrying isnt going to solve anything .
Think I'll go have a sleep....or try to , for some stupid reason I watched Amityville horror last night , and now have visions of grey little dead girls in my head ....

I totally agree with Jo!!

I never heard the heartbeat until after 12 week scan as I had seen my midwife when I was about as far along as you and she said it was far too early and they don't like to try and find one and then can't as it freaks woman out.
I agree with Mrs Mojo its not a day to day thing for them any more

and then after your scan, you make sure you go back to that doc and give him a piece of your mind.  Scaring a preggy woman like that....totally inconsiderate!  Arse!!!!

I so will , thanks guys, you've made me feel a lot better

what exactly would he be wanting to know from the bloodtest?
Probably just wanted me to have a sore arm *grumble grumble *
