I was able to hear the HB on my doppler around 11 weeks. Just be patient and don't get too stressed if it takes you a while to get the hang of it. I know I had to search around for a quite a while for the first week or two to find it each time. (and I have lots of practice using a doppler as a nurse)
12 weeks is the first time I tried and i heard it loud and clear. it was a woosh woosh woosh at first, now it's more like hoofbeats. It sometimes goes back to woosh woosh, but i think it much just depend on how far away from the probe the baby is.
Re: Got my doppler!
Exciting! Let me know what you think of it, please? I am seriously comtemplating buying that one, and am not finding any customer reviews online.
Thanks! Hope it works great for you!
