Question:

I am pregnant and had my first doctors appointment yesterday and well all was fine.calculations are saying that I am 8 weeks and the doctors feels my uterous and it is the size of a 12 week pregnancy.he checked for a heart beat and there was no luck.;-(
He also says that I could have fibroid tumors but stated that I am a little too young for that. What could be wrong? they set up an ultrasound for me in two weeks but I do not want to worry that something is wrong for two weeks.

Answers:
Has your doctor checked your beta hcg levels? That will tell a lot. Congratulations on being pregnant! A little FYI, the further you get along in your pregnancy the more anxious for ultrasounds and doctor appointments you will get so try not to get too worried. I am sure everything is fine or your doctor would have scheduled the necessary for earlier. Good Luck! Have a very happy and healthy nine months!

you may be further along than you think. You may have more than one baby in the oven.

The fetal heart
The embryonic heart starts beating 22 days after conception, or about five weeks after the last menstrual period, which by convention we call the fifth week of pregnancy. The heart at this stage is too small to hear, even with amplification, but it can sometimes be seen as a flickering in the chest if an ultrasound is done as early as four weeks after conception.

The Doppler instrument
After the 9th or 10th week after your last menstrual period, you might be able to hear your baby's heartbeat at your prenatal appointment. Your obstetrical practitioner probably uses a Doppler instrument for this purpose, which bounces harmless sound waves off the fetal heart. The way the sound comes back is affected by motion, so a beating heart creates a change in the sound that can be picked up by the receiver in the Doppler. Whether you actually hear the heartbeat at 9 or 10 weeks depends partly on luck-the instrument must be placed at just the right angle. It also depends on the position of your uterus, and if you're slim or heavy. By the 12th week, the heartbeat can usually be heard consistently, using the Doppler instrument for amplification.
