Heartbeat baby

Ay, I'm so sorry you're going through this, I can feel how worried you are. The thing is, at 8 weeks with a transvaginal scan, the heartbeat should really be showing up clearly by then, so I understand why you're anxious. But here's what a few mums in my circle have mentioned, sometimes timing can be a bit off, or the angle during the scan doesn't catch it properly the first time, especially if the baby's positioned awkwardly. Since your baby is still developing and you've got zero bleeding, spotting, or cramping (those are actually good signs!), it might be worth going back for another scan in a few days or asking your doctor if they want to do a follow-up to double-check the dating and make sure everything's measuring correctly. Jangan stress too much yet, but definitely push your doctor to clarify, whether it's just timing or dating, or if they need to investigate further. You deserve clear answers, and your specialist will know best what the next step is. Hang in there.
