What Causes Difficulty In Hearing Fetal Heart Rate During Pregnancy?
I had my ten week visit for my pregnancy yesterday. Doc couldn't hear the heartbeat via rippled so he used a portable ultrasound machine. He looked forever and still couldn't find it but said he thought he saw flickering. We are also pretty sure we saw movement in the arms and legs. Should I be concerned?

Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Fetal cardiac activity can be picked up by an ultrasound machine at 10 weeks. It is preferable that you get your ultrasound done by another doctor to confirm the well being of the baby. Hope that answers your question.
