Heartbeat

I was trying to find an answer in Q&A but could not...

When can they normally hear a heartbeat? Do they check at the first appt?

    I got to hear the heartbeat at 7w2d.  I went through IVF, so I do have an ultrasound weekly.  Which allows me to see and hear the heartbeat.  I believe at a normal appointment they will use the doppler to hear the heartbeat.  The heart normal starts to beat during week 6.

    Good Luck

    You can see (and hear a fake heartbeat sound the u/s machine makes) as early as 6 weeks.  You can't hear a heartbeat with a doppler until at 9-10 weeks at the earliest.

    Good to know - thanks!
     

    I guess i was just hoping it'd be a bit sooner cause I still don't "feel pregnant" and I can't believe it happened so fast! :-P

    I both saw and heard my baby's heart beat at 7 w 3d...it was at 130 and they found it right away with the doppler...i did not expect it that early but was very excitedBig Smile

    DH and I were able to hear the heartbeat at our first appt at 10 weeks. They used a doppler through my stomache.

    but she did warn me that we may not hear it yet... its still pretty small :-)

    good luck though!!!

    We were able to see the HB at 6w1d (i thought i was 5w3d but measured differently through u/s). The OB hasn'tt tried to listen to the HB yet...hopefully soon!
