What could be the reason for not being able to hear the fetal heartbeat with a fetal doppler at 9 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

At 9 weeks and 3 days, I heard a heart rate of 130 at the 2-3 cm below the navel using a fetal doppler. After hitting it with my fist several times, I couldn't hear it anymore. The doctor asked if the baby's heartbeat was gone because of the hit.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify your doubts. At 9 weeks of pregnancy, it is usually not possible to hear the fetal heartbeat with a fetal doppler. If your abdomen is struck, and you experience abdominal pain or bleeding again, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough check-up with a color Doppler ultrasound.
