They usually do not try to find the heart beat till you are at least 10 weeks pregnant. It is not because you are fat! It is because your babies little heart is not loud enough to be heard through a doppler but can be picked up through a more advance machine such as a ultra sound. Good luck.

it has nothing to do with your size. Most doctors want to wait till you are about 10-12 weeks pregnant so they know they can hear it as not to worry you if they cannot.
