A member asked:
I am 8weeks pregnant what if my doctor can't find the baby with an abdominal ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry yet: It is often difficult to find the fetal heart with an abdominal probe at 8 weeks. A vaginal probe exam would certainly show it and you should consider having the vaginal probe ultrasound performed rather than waiting until next visit.
