No. The fetus is so small at that point sometimes it is hard to detect the heartbeat to hear it.

I am 10 weeks pregnant and i have my docs appt on the 11th of march would i be able to hear the baby's heart beat by then?

It really depends on you. If you are a more slender woman that yes, chances are you will be able to hear the baby's heart beat. I heard my second child's heartbeat at 8 weeks, and with my first at 6 weeks, both were my initial appointments with my doctor. But if you dont hear it until 16 weeks, dont worry, it is not uncommon. It does not mean the baby is not doing well.
