Baby’s heartbeat

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.

Hello! I go to KKH subsidised route and they usually don’t let you hear the heartbeat until after week 20 if I’m not wrong. The nurse told me that it is not good for the baby so they measure the heart rate using waves. But don’t worry you will eventually get to hear the heartbeat! 😊
