When did you first hear heartbeat on doppler?

vermont7 · September 2011

I am 9 weeks 4 days and am spotting red, then brown again today. I have a cervical polyp that bleeds easily. I am going to the midwives today to try and listen for some reassurance. Just wondering when others heard it. I have a tilted uterus, but I'm pretty sure I heard my daughter this early.

I go to the OBGYN for my initial appointment tomorrow and they said we should be able to hear the heartbeat. I'm at 7 weeks. So excited! Good luck!

I heard it yesterday at 11w+6d at my appt. They tried to find it around 10 weeks and could not. We had to do and u/s to see it then.

Still haven't been able to hear it on doppler. Had an u/s this morning and we do still have a healthy baby but I had a retroverted uterus. It seems to have finally flipped so maybe next Tuesday Ill be able to hear it for the first time!!

I have been able to hear baby since about 9 weeks and a few days. It did take a little bit to find, but now I can find it easily with my doppler. OB found it as soon as she placed her doppler on my stomach @ 11w 3days (but she even stated it could be too soon before she tried). I know everyone is different and it depends on the uterus and if there is a little "extra" weight in the stomach area among other things I am sure. I hope you get to hear it!!

Google "Sonoline B Fetal Doppler".

I found mine at 9w4d. It took some time, but I've been able to find it every day since then around the same spot.

GL at your appointment!!

Wow really? My OB told me at my 10 week that she wasn't expecting to pick up a heartbeat because it was really early. We didn't hear a thing at 10 weeks, it wasn't until 11 weeks that we started to pick it up. 7 weeks is SUPER early, don't get down if you don't hear it! You will!!

My first appt was at 9 weeks and no hb heard on the doppler. I had a followup appt at 11 weeks and found a strong hb at 168bpm. I wouldn't stress if they don't find one, I also was told I have a tilted uterus, but really hasn't been much of an issue at all. My MW told me the hb usually isn't found until after 10 weeks. If they don't hear one after 10 weeks I would see what they suggest (hopefully an u/s to see your LO).
