Is it common for doctor not to let you hear baby’s heartbeat or measure the heartrate? I am at wk 10plus and so far each gynae appt, he only show me that there is flickering image on scan means the baby’s heartbeat is there.

My experience is usually private gynae will let you hear heartbeat. I went to both kkh subsidized and private gynae. Usually scan at kkh they just see heartbeat won’t let you hear. They say 1st trimester they want to focus on fetus development so hearing heartbeat not so important at this stage. :/ but I got to hear my bb’s heartbeat once when I went private gynae around week 7. 😊
