My first doctor's appointment is at 9 weeks and 2 days. And I'm afraid it will be too early to hear heart best with a Doppler. My doctor doesn't do ultrasounds at 9 weeks for some reason. Anyone hear heart beat this early?
We just tried on our home Doppler tonight I'm 6 weeks and 3 days and my husband and I are pretty sure we found it. I say pretty sure because there is always the chance I picked up my own heartbeat, but it didn't seem like it. We have the same Doppler my last OB had in her office.
6 weeks? Probably just found yours. Lil heartbeats are at least double your own. I'm not saying you didn't, just that it might be unlikely that soon. I think I was able to hear it in the dr office last time between 10.5 & 11 weeks.it could be possible, but the dr might not be able to find it yet. Edit: adding a thought.
The reasons we think it may be is we can only pick it up in the one spot and we listened to my heart to compare and they don't sound anything alike. But who knows - we have a ultrasound on Friday, I'll let them know where we picked it up and they can tell us if we were right.
@keniialise I pick mine up often and it's only in one or two spots. If you put your fingers on your pulse while listening to that heart you'll be able to tell. If they are beating the same, it's yours.
Thanks ladies! Your answers were helpful. I went ahead and moved my appointment out a week and a half. I think at 11 weeks we should be able to find it. I just don't want to be sent home after not having heard it. That would stress me out. We plan to reveal out 4th pregnancy on Christmas! My doctors appointment is on the 22nd. The timing should be just right. thanks again!
